STYLE

Stylist PICKS ON BOARD WITH THE SPRING/SUMMER TRENDS YOU’VE SEEN SO FAR BUT NOT SURE HOW TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THEM INTO YOUR WARDROBE? OUR STYLIST PICKS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP. When it comes to colour, it’s all about being brave. Bold, bright, in your face neon shades are what this season is all about and they’re designed to be worn together.

The same goes for pattern. Whether it’s a classic floral or a modern take on tie dye, prints are designed to get you noticed - don’t be afraid to mix and match them. They also look great layered up with more classic pieces like jackets and trousers for a contemporary contrast.

Speaking of contrast, it’s another thing to bear in mind when wearing this season’s trends.

Think basic t-shirts with tailored trousers and feminine dresses with edgy trainers. They’re just a couple of examples of how you can create contrasts with textures, fabrics and cuts this season.

If you’re not fully committed to the out-there trends you can expect to see this spring, experiment with accessories. Bold colours, patterns and contrasting styles can all be played around with on a smaller scale for a more subtle end result.

Check out our accessories on page 11 for more advice.

HOLIDAY SHOP

The concept of a capsule wardrobe first came about back in the 1970s and has stuck around ever since for good reason. Who doesn’t want a carefully curated collection of clothes that work for every occasion?

Get holiday ready with our offering of the latest on-trend holiday shop pieces and soak up the sun in some serious style.

READY, STEADY, HOLIDAY...

Make it practical _

Colour-coordinate _

Buying items that you’d only wear abroad defeats the purpose of a capsule wardrobe. Instead go for things that work well in the UK as well as elsewhere in the world.

Creating a collection of clothes that you can mix and match means sticking to a cohesive colour scheme.

There might be the odd addition such as swimwear that you’re obviously going to get more wear out of on holiday than you are here in Nottingham but when it comes to other things like t-shirts, dresses and accessories, think practically about when and where you’ll be able to wear them before you buy.

14

Prices and offers correct at the time of printing.

Not everything has to be the same colour, just make sure you’re working with shades and patterns that compliment your current wardrobe.

That way you’ll get the most wear out of them in the long run.

STYLE for him Gents, we’ve got your Spring/Summer staples sorted too. From layering pieces, to this season’s denim, here’s what to keep an eye out for on Nottingham’s high street.

Military _ Military-style clothing is set to be a huge trend for both men and women in 2019.

It’s been seen on some of the most influential runways around the world so, if you’re looking for a new addition to your wardrobe this season, it’s a great way to go.

Straight leg jeans _ Skinny jeans have had their moment and now it’s time for the return of their straight-leg counterpart. Whether they’re paired with a smarter, tailored shirt or a basic tee, when it comes to denim, this season is all about a more laid-back look.

Layers _ The weather might be getting warmer but layering is still set to be big this Spring/Summer. Shirt under jackets, t-shirt under suits and either under over-shirts – they’re all things you can make an effort to play around with.

Just make sure you invest in some basic layering pieces that will work with the rest of your wardrobe first.

Checks _ If pattern isn’t usually your thing, a checked shirt or trouser are subtle ways to stay on trend but for those of you wanting to make a statement, we recommend going head to toe check in the suit of the season.

Whoever said ‘you’re never fully dressed without a smile’ didn’t have the right accessories.

Whether it’s a pair of statement earrings or your go-to sunglasses, they have the power to transform even the simplest of outfits into something unforgettable.

SS/18 was all about texture but 2019’s accessories are taking things back to basics with a trend that never goes out of style – sparkle! Here’s a selection of our favourite pieces from Nottingham’s shopping scene as well as our advice on how to nail wearing them.

Go for quality over quantity _

Keep everything else simple _

Sparkle doesn’t have to be in your face to be on trend. There are plenty of ways you can give a subtle nod to it if you’re still experimenting with the whole ‘bling thing’. Jewellery, hair accessories and purses are all great things to try before making any bigger investments.

Stick to simple outfits if you want your accessories to stand out.

Overcomplicating everything will only make less of a statement. The same goes for your makeup. Bold eyes and lips will dull their sparkle.

MASCARA FROM FRANCIS KLEIN, GRAY & BULL STYLING OPTICIAN, PELHAM STREET, £590 (FRAME ONLY).

STERLING SILVER BRAIDED DIAMOND FLASH RING, WARREN JAMES, EXCHANGE WALK, £39.

SKINSAND WATCH, SWATCH, INTU VICTORIA CENTRE, £118. top tip

Colour co-ordinate. If your jewellery or other accessories are gold, go for warmer sparkly tones that will compliment what you already own.

SHOES

BEST FOOT FORWARD! Shoes, glorious shoes – no summer wardrobe would be complete without them. If footwear isn’t your forte though, knowing where to start with yours can be a struggle. These are the essentials every collection should have in time for the warmer season.

From left to right_ A CLASSIC SANDAL _

CHILLED OUT TRAINERS _

A STRAPPY PAIR OF HEELs _

A statement shoe _

A quality pair of sandals are the foundation of every good spring/ summer ‘shoe-drobe’. Opting for a classic colour like black or tan means they’ll go with just about every outfit you own.

Trainers were one of the biggest trends of 2018 and they’re going nowhere now that it’s over.

Dress them up with a blazer and trousers or down with jeans and a simple tee.

BEVERLEE SMITTEN KITTEN, SKECHERS, ALBERT STREET, £39.

ECCO COOL W IN ICE WHITE, ECCO, BRIDLESMITH GATE, £155.

These are the shoes that will take an outfit from day to night which is what makes them such an essential. Just make sure you go for a comfy pair so that they don’t spend the spring/summer season at the back of your wardrobe.

No matter which style you go for, make sure you incorporate a statement shoe somewhere with an out-there shape or striking colour combination. They’re much easier to get away with in the summer months and a great way to inject some fun into a simple outfit.

HAVEN SANDAL AVAILABLE IN 4 COLOURS, HOTTER, LISTER GATE, £62.

PUMA WOMENS CALI TRAINER WHITE/PINK, FOOTASLYUM, CLUMBER STREET, £69.99.
