The streets of Southampton are full of young fashionistas who will brave the cold February air to grab a bargain and work on their style and it’s my job to try and grab them.
On work experience for my local paper, the Southern Daily Echo, I have had an exciting week. I have been reporting on Somali pirates, the Liverpool Boat Show being cancelled and heard a new Costco is going to be opened in the centre of Southampton.
Well… okay it hasn’t been hard hitting journalism, but I’ve still enjoyed myself and today I was asked to write a fashion piece.
I’m not going to lie this really excited me as it meant I got to spend an hour looking up this Years Spring collection and what’s going to be big.
This season the trends are a mixture of block bright and clashing colours, animal prints and playful accessories.
Colour, colour and colour a slightly haphazard mix of tones that you wouldn’t normally put together but the effects are quite dramatic.
A very statement look, perfect for those who want to turn heads, I have been searching and ASOS is a great place to start for some wildly bright and outrageously cheap tops or funky jeans.
Though this trend doesn’t stop with clothes, make-up can be turned up a notch to.
A personal favourite of mine is Mac; their lipsticks are out of this world, in as many rainbow shades as you can handle.
At the moment I’m rocking my coral orange, which is also great for those with slightly darker complexions and really brings out tans.
I also have a fierce purple that’s very dramatic; I haven’t been brave enough to try them both on at once… But that might be pushing the colour boundaries slightly to far.
The other trend which I am all for this season is animal prints, it may have been done before but there are always new ways to wear this look.
Lose leopard print, especially in garish colours, If I see another purple cardigan I may scream. Take some inspiration from Miu Miu whose spring collection showed an elegant satin swan, showing that you can be playful and sophisticated.
Though think accessories too, a parrot bag or a swallow necklace, I’m getting excited just thinking about the things I could buy… If only I had any money.
