What to wear in spring 2016

Yes, yes, spring is still two months away (who’s counting?) but that doesn’t mean we don’t need to start planning our spring wardrobe ASAP. So maybe stick a pin into your Making a Murderer binge and spend these cosy moments curled up on the sofa taking your pick of the new trends for 2016. Have a gander at our selected styles down below.

Off-the-shoulder

Shoulders are in! Or rather… out. You’ll be hard pressed to find a top without the shoulders cut out this season. Show some skin in an elegant and sexy way. Combine this look with simple skinny jeans or a pencil skirt for instant style.

Soft suede

2015 was the year of 70s revival and its comeback is not over yet. This spring we’re all in love with one of the decades preferred fabrics: suede.

The boyfriend shirt

Go big or go home with this new trend. Like the boyfriend jeans, this is all about a wide fit. This look is comfortable and airy which makes it perfect for spring.

Slip on a slip dress

 

Nude lips, flowy florals and rucksacks – it would seem that the 90s are back. This spring, add the slip dress to your list of must-haves. Don’t be afraid to go silky and lacey with this one, this spring your underwear is free to become your outerwear.

Ruffle it up

Bye bye minimalism! This season is all about more, more, and more. Ruffles add texture and dimension to your outfit and more importantly: it’s playful and flirtatious, just like a certain season!

Make it shine

Don’t pack away your sequined Christmas dress just yet because sparkle and shine are it this spring. Go for shimmery accessories if you don’t want to go over the top but don’t be afraid to make yourself the shiny centre of attention. Budget tip: check out the post-Christmas sale for some discounted dresses.
