As a new year begins so does a new year of fashion trends. What will be ‘in’ this year? What fashion piece will make a come back? And what trends are most definitely not trendy anymore? Give your wardrobe a clear out of those items you’re never going to wear again and invest in some key pieces this year.
BUY!
PASTEL COLOURS
Minty greens, pale blues and baby pinks. They will be everywhere this spring. Although powdery lilac and lemony yellow may seem a bit grandma-ish, don’t despair as the pastel colours that are being seen on catwalks for Spring/Summer 2012 are going to be a bit cooler.
PENCIL, DIPPED, SKATER
Skirts have had a rework this year. Ditch the mini skirt and quirk your wardrobe up this year. Sophisticated and fitted, longer and dipped or fun and flippy. This year will see skirts and dresses of all different styles. Classy but with a cute twist.
KEEP!
SKINNY JEANS
A fashion classic that every girl must own. Whether they’re vintage, charcoal denim or a cropped, indigo blue the skinny jean is not on the way out. Although the bootcut jean has been making a bit of a come-back, the skinnies are still top of the list in the style stakes.
BLAZER
Whatever style suits you; oversized and brightly coloured to classic, fitted black. A blazer is the perfect partner to your skinny jeans for everyday effortless style. Floral print – always a favourite for Spring collections and that remains true this year. Get out the pretty patterns to liven up your wardrobe when the weather warms up.
THROW!
JEGGINGS
Let’s face it, we all owned a pair but did they ever really look good? Sure, they’re more comfy than jeans but so are pj bottoms…
BOYFRIEND FIT
It may look cute to wear an oversized cardigan but the baggy jeans and tent-sized t-shirt just luck scruffy. Let’s forget we ever bought them.
UGG BOOTS
They may form the furry foundations of your everyday wear, but maybe it’s time to reconsider their place in your life. They look unsightly with skinny jeans, childish with joggers and always a bit odd. They don’t truly match anything or follow a trend, unless your dressing up as a cave woman in which case you probably have bigger issues than the things you put on your feet.
“VINTAGE” GEEK GLASSES
As much as looking like you’re from Dalston might be your thing, we’d maybe ask that you stop wearing these. They certainly don’t frame your face and have absolutely no purpose. Boho-hoxton-chic isn’t vogue anymore. Even if it ever was. Liberate your face from these heavy black shades, and save the
eyewear until sum-
mer comes
around.
