YOUR SPRING/SUMMER FORECAST

We look to the catwalks and street style stars to find inspiration on what to wear this season. Here are the hottest trends to look out for

Fulani Feels

While Fulani braids have been on the scene from last year, we’ve spotted an increasing number of street style stars adding a fresh twist, with their pattern of choice being a neatly plaited heart-shaped emoji. We’re particularly loving model Adwoa Aboah’s braided bun, combined with beaded braids at a face-hugging, jawline length.

PRETTY LITTLE

PRETTY LITTLE THING

90s Girlband

We’ve all called up a friend before a night out to ask what they’re wearing. But now it’s time to get serious about outfit coordination.

London brand Poster Girl and designer Edward Crutchley both showcased collections honouring harmonic styles without being too matchy-matchy. The key to girlband fashion for the real world? Stick to two or three colours between your group.

The Cheek Of It

Wearing blusher higher on your cheekbones can lift your whole look, providing an easy spring update. Recreate the rosy faces as seen at Chet Lo and Daniel w. Fletcher by choosing a bold blusher and softly brushing the pigment from the top of your cheekbone along your temple, and finishing at the tail of your eyebrow. Go for a small amount of product for a more natural look, or build the product stroke-by-stroke for vivid colour.

H2t Colour

Spring and summer fashion often reflects the colours of the natural world around us, and this season is no different. Designers such as Chet Lo placed a heavy emphasis on vibrant looks, with models in head-to-toe greens, blues, reds, pink and oranges. Meanwhile, street stylers dabbled in complementary and contrasting colours for their eye-catching ensembles. Consult your nearest Pantone colour guide to get your formula right!
