New in Fashion
Put away your winter warmers and get ready for spring. Rachel Spillane brings you the latest and greatest of high street fashion
That odd transitional time of year is fast approaching. You know, when the sun is splitting the stones but there’s a distinct chill in the air. It’s not anyone’s favourite weather to dress for but, this year, brands have brought their A-game. Finally, we can say au revoir to duvet-inspired coats, with many of the high street stores focusing on light jackets with soft teddy accents instead.
Pastel hues are slowly being introduced as well, with soft greens and pinks at the forefront of thick jumpers and cardis.
Surprising, and welcome, new additions are embellished accessories. Perfect partywear, these jewel-studded bags and shoes will be wearable year-round, and it’s not like we need an excuse to treat ourselves to something sparkly either. Enjoy.
