I was actually in two minds about doing this seasons’ trends edit.
Having to now deal with longer summers and winters, we’re still looking
for coats in May and dresses in September. The autumn/winter and spring/summer
divide is beginning to blur.
We’re also more focused on our individual looks than ever before. Street style and bloggers influence is growing, and they are becoming fashion industry players determined just by what they wear. High fashion designers are no longer the only ones shaping each seasons trends but merely setting a base line.
Trends may be less clear and only slightly different from those we’ve seen before, but evolved from the influence of street style, spring/summer 14 is bigger and bolder.

Everything Embellished
Listen up Magpies...don't stop now! Designers from the likes of Prada to Roksanda ilincic have joined you and gone to town with lashings of shimmer, sparkle and shining jewelled fancies. You'll find it lavished across tops, dresses, collars and anything else with spare fabric.

sights on all that glitters this seasons.

Floral Futures
Designers seem to have found a way to join two polar opposites this season, teaming neon florals and botanical blooms with metallic glam rock and edgy attitude. Either try the lady-like treatment, sassy urban styling or be bold, and like designers embrace the two together.

Pastel Persuasion
There's plenty of millage still left in this hue. Fashion hasn't quite moved on from the dusty pink, but instead has been joined by soft powdery mint tones.
Pink is best worn as one accent piece, but that's not to say you can't be shameless and step out on pink head-to-toe.
Mint however, is best offset with nude tones or blended with sorbet pastels, but best worn with plenty of confidence!

Brit It-girl Alexa Chung is the perfect poster girl for this next one.

Attention Grabbing It-Dress
Probably the easiest to pull off this season. Take one A-mazing dress,
worn with heels and full confidence and strut your stuff. Done!
Must Have: Statement
It-Dress

Lace
SS14’s little lace dress (LLD) resembles more of night dress than a
high-octant, vintage frock and is best styled with essential black eyeliner and
voluminous hair.
Must Have: Little Lace
Dress

Cold Shoulder
Don’t bare all for S14.....simply tease everyone with what might be by
just showcasing your sculpted décolletage and collar bones.
Must have: One Shoulder/Strapless Dress

Sheer Skirt
We are heading into transparent territory, so
reach for your sheer pencil, maxi and midi skirts (anything shorter is so last
year, dahlings!). To keep a remain somewhat reserved, houses such as Mulberry,
Dior and Burberry have designed full briefs to accompany this cheeky look, and
rightly so!
Must Have: Sheer Skirt

Pleats Please
Broad pleats are a thing of the past, well for now anyway, so go for tight please on dresses, skirts and accessories.

Matchy Matchy
With no doubt, the hottest look this season is
wearing one print all over or to clash several patterns in one outfit. If this
seems too daring, then your best way to approach this is working one colour
into everything from shoes, to your phone case...the works! Too much is simply not
enough.
Must Have: Matchy Outfits
