Spring-time Fashion cont

Typical in spring-time are the floral prints; a little different this season is that they're worn in suits

(matching jackets and skirts/trousers). Print trousers continue to be popular.

Chambray - a light-weight denim but softer and faded - is very popular. It can work as a neutral with one of your seasonal colours, or as a soft colour for Summers and Springs. It's useful for NZ's laid-back living and worth investing in, as the fashion comes around every few years.

Also this year there's a huge Japanese influence eg cherry blossom, oriental style (obi belts, wide sleeves, collarless jackets). I love the look ... it can be timeless, and pretty, and relaxed, and ethnic - something to tick all the style personality boxes! Just remember to select an item that has your unique style personality mix ratios.

There's still some 20's influence; beautifully cut for gorgeous draping, feminine, applique detailing, and hats. Looks like we'll be seeing many more hats being worn from big floppy styles to smart little cloches.
