Prints

No need to spend lots of money as charity shops and your dad's closet might just be the season's best fashion sources. Or why not dig out that nerdy shirt your gran gave you for Christmas a few years ago? Welcome to the scene bold prints! Floral, tribal, psychedelic and even Hawaiian prints were spotted on the runway and have started making their appearance in high street shops across the country.

Look out for funky patterned shirts à la 70s, scarves, ties, shorts and even trousers and umbrellas. Polka dots are no longer just for girls, nor are bird-prints and florals. Wear your prints with pride but don't overdo it. Team bold prints with neutrals i.e. avoid wearing a print shirt and trouser combination with printed accessories to top it off.

On the high street, head to shops like Urban Outfitters and Topman to embrace the trend.

The Colour Blue

Instead of suffering from the blues, incorporate blue into your outfit. Runways were full of vibrant, even electric blues in all forms. Outerwear, suits, shirts, trousers and accessories can all be worn in the versatile colour this season.

Give your black and grey colour range clothes a break. You'll find wearing blue tones will brighten up your day, enhance your mood and get you lots of compliments. The range of tones available means there's something for any complexion.

Double Breasted Tailoring

If there was ever a time to jazz up your wardrobe with a bit of smart tailoring, it's now. Double breasted jackets were huge on the catwalks. It's a great and edgy look for city workers and can be adapted to the weekend if worn with jeans or chinos instead of suit trousers.
