MUSINGS OF A PERSONAL STYLE ADVISOR AND SHOPPER BASED IN CHESHIRE.

What will you be wearing this Spring Summer?

I know, I know, it's only February, we're all still shivering in our chunky knits, but time stops for no man and this is certainly true in the fashion industry.

Most of the sales have come to an end now and with that means the new season stock is filtering though. So what are we meant to be wearing Spring Summer 2012? I have given the low down on this seasons trends and where to find them on the high street, but don't forget, as Yves Saint Laurent said "fashion fades, style is eternal", so look for items that will stand the test of time, suit your body shape and your lifestyle and that can be worn a variety of ways (think capsule).

Prints

Rodarte
Beautiful bouquets and paisley prints were featured by many designers.  Florals were big and bright.  Go as bold as you dare.  If big prints are a step too far for you, incorporate this look with a scarf or try a bright T and team with a plain jacket to break up the print.

Warehouse £50
Whistles £75
The 20's

Gucci
Channel The Great Gatsby with ultra glam drop waist evening wear.  Love this look but don't like to show your arms? Try a fur (faux of course) wrap.  With a looser cut this style dress is great if you're conscious of a tum.
All Saints on sale £147
River Island at ASOS £45
Colours
Phillip Lim
Think sugary cup cake toppings.  Don't forget everyone can wear every colour, it's just finding the right way for you.  If pastels wash you out, wear it on your lower half, or accessorise with a pastel belt or bag.
Mint Velvet £79
Dune £75
In complete contrast to the sugary pastel shades, yellow is tipped to feature a lot, not a shade for everyone though, but who can resist a little sunshine in their wardrobe?
Oasis £45
Shapes

YSL
It's all about the waist, 50's full skirts, cropped tops and peplums.  Perfect for creating the hour glass body shape.
Lipsy £65
Sports Lux
Versus
The new season sportswear, isn't about chucking on your trackies and working up a sweat.  It's all about the details, exposed zips,mesh and shiny anoraks.
Warehouse £45
So what do you think you will be wearing this Spring Summer?  Will you be updating your look or wardrobe this year?
