Taste the rainbow
Has your wardrobe come to resemble a graveyard of grey over the last few months? Ours too, but luckily there’s a new colour code in town. This season sparks a return to bolder shades and demands going head-to-toe in one hue, or try colour blocking. Whatever you do, stand out from the crowd!

Sheer genius
The message this season is totally clear: If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Sheer fabric turns the simplest design into one of elegance and sexiness It might be a tricky trend to pull off, but layering is the secret.

Playful pompoms
Pompoms and tassels aren’t just for cheerleaders and crafts. These fun, fuzzy adornments will brighten up your day – and your look. Besides, you can’t possibly feel unhappy with pompoms swinging from your clothing!
