top, £118.99
from Psyche in
Middlesbrough.

It looks as if sheer is going nowhere for
the season ahead. There was little left to
the imagination with transparency being
demonstrated by none other than Dior.
We’re talking see-through dresses, skirts
and coats. Expect to see girls daring to
bare all on your Instagram feed.

Power pastels and punchy primary shades
were prominent on the catwalks, with the
likes of Victoria Beckham, Chanel and
Hermes showcasing candy pieces and bold
hues. Don’t be afraid to channel your inner
hippy by creating some vibrant combos and
mixing both palettes for a fresh spring look.
Sunglasses recommended.
Embroidered
pinafore dress, £45
from Topshop on
Teesside Retail Park.
Relish sheer shirt, £75
from Joi Boutique.
BAGS FOR
LIFE
Fashionable storage was a
headlining trend for this
year’s must-have accessories.
If you're one of those people
who carries both a tote bag
and a handbag, then you're
ahead of the game. The
multiple bag trend saw Gucci
and Dolce & Gabbana lead
with sporty pouches, sensible
over-the-body styles, the
classic clutch and, of course,
sophisticated shoulder bags.
Like we need an excuse to
buy two new bags.
Xenia sheer black
waistcoat, £365 from
JulesB in Yarm.
DENIM
D I VA
The fashion gods have spoken - denim made a stylish comeback
this season. Who knew tailored denim could look so cool? Smart
styles graced the Spring Summer catwalks including blue tapered
jeans and ‘we mean business’ blazers. Nina Ricci opted for
macho masculine, teaming oversized denim shirts with slouchy
boyfriend jeans. On the flip side, Tom Ford and Fendi oozed
feminine fun opting for classic curve-loving cuts.
Red frill-sleeved suit,
£159 from Joi Boutique
in Middlesbrough.
Paul Smith cross-body bag, £385
from Flannels in Middlesbrough.
