FASHION Styled by Sophia FIVE TRENDS FOR YOUR SS19 WARDROBE T here may be a little while to go until we can properly indulge in our summer wardrobes but, in the spirit of being organised, I’ve been browsing the fashion magazines and catwalk looks in search of a few trends I can keep an eye out for when shopping this season. I’ve got my sights set on quite a few of the looks, but I’ve narrowed it down to five of my favourites which I think are pretty versatile no matter what your style, shape or size - prairie dresses, pastel colours, nudes, leopard print and boiler suits. Here are the pieces I’ve picked out that follow those trends perfectly. And, of course, they’re all available here on Teesside. Pastel Colours Attitudes Women’s Wear £189.00 Tees Life fashion columnist Sophia Gowland keeps you on trend for the season ahead The Prairie Dress New Look | £27.99 As an advocate of the saying “Everything looks better in black”, I’m pleased to say this midi-style prairie dress is no exception. Perfect to throw on for a range of occasions. Whether you want to go super casual and wear it through the day with a leather jacket and a pair of biker boots or for an evening out with heels and statement earrings for a feminine and flirty look. Available on free click & collect at any of New Look’s Teesside stores. This delicate dress from one of Yarm’s best fashion boutiques would make the perfect choice for any special occasions you’re attending this spring/summer. The pastel palette means you can match with any shade accessories: black, white, nude and pink are a few of the options I’d choose. Style with strappy heels, a clutch bag and fascinator. Everyone will be asking where you got your outfit from. Nothing But Nude The Fashion Bible | £30.00 North-East-based e-commerce website, The Fashion Bible, has this beautiful nude pinafore dress for you to add to your collection. Wear it alone in the summer to keep it cool and casual, or layer it up for double the impact on colder days. Boiler Suits Topshop | £59.00 Leopard Print | New Look | £24.99 The ultimate staple piece for day or night, this must-have item is ticking all the boxes for this season’s boiler suit trend. Featuring contrasting stitching, it’s the perfect piece to throw on for those days when you just can’t decide what to wear - or don’t have the time to look! Nail this trend by pairing it with stylish boots. You’d be forgiven for thinking that leopard print has reached its peak. After all, it’s been a key print in our wardrobes for some time now. But according to my sources, this style is here to stay! I may be wishful thinking, but bikini season is fast approaching and New Look have nailed the leopard trend with this beautiful belted swimsuit. Perfect for girly or family holidays. Be quick to get your claws on it before it’s gone. tees-life.co.uk 39
