You want to avoid any fashion faux-pas.
So let’s look at which key trends this Spring are making their mark.
Key Trends In Colour & Colour Blocking
At last, we can wear more colour.
Yes, one trend is for wearing top-to-toe colour.

Key Trends In Prints & Patterns
Tis the season of the print!
You’re going to be spoilt.
There’s lot to choose from.
In particular:
Animal prints are still going strong.
Floral prints are everywhere in all sizes, particularly in over-sized blooms and in multiple colours.
Abstract painting prints feature as well as checks, stripes and scenic patterns.

Key Trends In Styles
The world’s your oyster – there’s a choice of styles for everyone.
Overall there is a trend towards body positivity.
The movement towards dressing modestly is taking hold, from high necks, long sleeves and longer lengths.
The Spring season is feminine especially with its colours, prints, fabrics and flowing shapes.
If you prefer a plainer style and shape, it’s there to find.
Otherwise, if you’d like to embrace the feminine modus of the season, embrace it.

Key Trends In Hem Lengths
In skirts and dresses, these range from mini and knee-length to the midi and ankle or maxi length.
Knee-length may not be directional but it is timeless and always on point.
The midi is still the current favourite.
CWC style tip: when it comes to a midi, where the hem sits on your leg is the secret
between looking à la mode or frumpy.
Choose hem lengths appropriate for your height and lifestyle.
At work, keep them business appropriate.
CWC style tip: when it comes Business Casual, the first word is (still) Business!

Knee length skirt, LK Bennett

Trouser styles also offer a choice of length and style, from cropped to cigarette to straight-leg and wide-leg.
Choose those styles most complimentary to your personality, figure and lifestyle.
