Spring 2023 trends
The period of fluffy lambs and blossom showers officially starts around mid-March here in the UK, however, as many of you will be acutely aware, the temperatures can still leave a lot to be desired. Nailing the ever-tricky transitional dressing period is all about mastering the art of layering. Switch out chunky polos in favour of fringe-trimmed, lighter weight crochet knits and seek out an alternative denim jacket (think asymmetric hems or interesting hardware detailing) in place of your trusty wool maxi coat.
Summer 2023 trends
When summer finally swings around, we are all set to bare some skin. Trends such as knee-high splits, geometric cut-outs and sheer fabrics all lends themselves perfectly to a sultry skin moment, whereas for the inevitable open-air soirée, amping up the drama is easy with a 1970s It-girl-inspired hooded gown. Run, don’t walk, straight to Alaïa.
Tailoring
Slouchy, oversized blazers were all the rage at Valentino and even Chanel opted for relaxed-fit versions of its trademark bouclé jackets in playful pinks. If you're a die-hard sharp tailoring gal, luckily Victoria Beckham came through with simple tailored blazers that acted as mini dresses.
Lace
Lace was out in full force, with many designers favouring sweeping maxis with cool cutwork. Baby blue lingerie-inspired pieces were showcased at Burberry's belated London Fashion Week show whereas both Dior and Versace oozed gothic glamour.
Fringing
Versace's buttery leather fringing felt very 'cool-girl-meets-cowboy', whereas Victoria Beckham's take spotlighted ra-ra minis and ultra-kinetic hems.
Denim
Designers made denim sexy for SS23 – who'd have thought it? Asymmetric fitted shirts paired with soft brown co-ords at A.W.A.K.E. had a certain hippyish glam, whereas Bella Hadid's buckle Givenchy buckle bra exuded utilitarian sultriness.
Animal print
"Everyone has an opinion on animal print, it's very much marmite in the fashionsphere. I, on one hand, love zebra print, especially when it comes to accessorising," Laura explains. "But struggle to get my head around a leopard look. That being said, you may well find me in an Alessandra Rich twinset come summer."
