U tilit y Meet the utility trend, a collection full of animal print, khaki greens, camouflauge and, most importantly, pockets. It’ll make you want to book a flight to Africa and spend a month at a safari park. 4 The New Look Trend Edit

“Zookeeper Chic”
Last year it was called Street Heritage, now it has been revamped to form purely just ‘Utility’. Short and snappy, not easy to forget. Currently, we are seeing lots of brights, monochrome and floral prints invading the spring/ summer 19 trends. However, on the other side of the spectrum, the safari trend is making its mark in our stores. Utility jumpsuits in 50 shades of beige, denim camo pants in every colour imaginable and we can’t forget the variety of animal print on hand. This 5 The New Look Trend Edit
trend gives us the option to either dress as a chic zookeeper or one of the animals that they take care of. Now we can all admit that the noughties was a tragic period for fashion, especially when it comes to animal print. We had leopard print skater skirts over bootcut jeans, latex zebra print dresses that were purposely so low cut in order to expose a neon coloured push up bra (yes posh spice, we are talking about you) and those god awful animal print chiffon scarves. And yes, I can see
you cringing as the memories of you wearing those exact items spring to your mind. However, as almost two decades have gone by, the industry’s use of animal print has been refined and modified to create items of clothing that are actually appealing to look at, rather than something that you cringe at and struggle to fit into an aesthetically pleasing outfit. I can guarantee you own at least one snake skin-clad item of clothing or something with a splash of zebra print. www.newlook.com

We as women are all fully aware of the struggle that surrounds garments with pockets. The pockets are usually either fake or too small. However, the utility trend takes pockets to the next level. Adding extra pockets on trousers and skirts and well as making them bigger. Even the iPhone pluses fit in these pockets. This feature is not only practical but also looks extremely fashionable. One of the most popular pieces is the green denim utility skirt which has two 3D pockets that add something a bit extra to your typical khaki skirt. Pair this with the plain white bandeau and some brown sandals for the perfect summer outfit. Accessorize with a pair of our funky cat-eye sunglasses to add a pop of colour, which will contrast the earthy tones.
As well as a multitude of different patterns, mostly camouflage and animal print, there is a very identifiable colour palette. Khaki green, black, burnt orange, brick red, mustard yellow, cream and every shade of brown that’s out there. A different colour palette to your typical summer wardrobe. There are a few blue pieces in this trend, such as the blue camouflage pants and the blue denim utility jumpsuit, however it is used very minimally within this trend and you will find most blue garments in either denim or the pretty 90s trend.

If the pockets on the garments still aren’t enough, swing one of our bum bags around your torso. This trend is all about being practical, not needing to bring a huge bag with you everywhere. Perfect for festivals, nights out or even a hike.

Brown Tiger Print Cowl Neck Midi Slip Dress, £27.99
My favourite trend in store at the moment has got to be utility. It’s so practical yet chic. I’ve been obsessed with animal print lately, I don’t think you’ll ever catch me not wearing it. My favourite has to be snake skin. The trends that I never want to see ever again all involve pants. I hate disco pants, patterned leggings, low waist jeans and cuffed bottoms. They all make me cringe. A trend that I’ve noticed is coming back is neon. It’s so popular at the moment and it’s definitely going to be big. I particularly love neon sunglasses. They just add something extra to an outfit.
I would personally describe my style as a mismatch of modern 90s with a combination of festival and street wear, depending on what vibe I’m going for and where I’m going. I usually go for a more festival vibe on nights out or in summer as a lot of those outfits require me to show a lot of skin. I love bum bags and sunglasses, I have a huge collection of both. My favourite pair of sunnies has to be my red cateye ones. They’re so cute.

At the moment, I’m loving loads of fashion Instagrammers who wear a lot of festival fashion and ‘risky’ outfits. I’m in love with these three bloggers as they’re always wearing funky outfits and showing lots of skin. They are carefree with their style yet always pull off whatever they wear.

MY JOB
Floral Ditsy Playsuit, £17.99
I have served many roles at New Look however I’m mainly a sales advisor. I love helping customers and making people smile. I have also partaken in a few management tasks such as cashing up and managing the shop floor. At the moment, I have been working on delivery. Yes this role can be draining due to the early starts and long shifts however it is really rewarding. I get to see all the new stock first and I get to witness the visual merchandisers mocking up floor plans and putting outfits together. This is really interesting to me.
I have so many customer horror stories to tell you but I don’t want to turn this magazine into a 150 chapter novel! We often get a lot of drunk customers in the Leeds Trinity store as we are open until 8pm. Dealing with them can either be a nightmare or hilarious. I remember there was this one guy who kept going up and down the escalators repeatedly whilst dancing really extravagantly. We’ve also had many customers have accidents whilst shopping. It’s funny until you’re the one having to clean up a poo in the fitting room.

Thank You Team Trinity! I do love my discount however the best part of my job has to be working with so many lovely people. My team are amazing and without them I wouldn’t be who I am today. I’ve made so many brilliant friends working here. I’ve worked here for almost 5 years now and it has made my journey so much more worthwhile. Everyone looks after each other, we all make sure to keep each other feeling positive during the stress periods which really warms my heart. Thank you team Trinity!
