In-between Season Fashion!

Hooray! The sun has finally made an appearance, but oh wait there is still that small fluffy thing called a cloud and the ever so slight breeze that comes along with that. And of course with the 19-degree temperatures comes those chilly evenings but I think we can safely say that it’s just about okay to bare the flesh. The problem is now, how to dress for this interchanging weather that seems to link with the UK. Its almost like we aren’t used to this and year upon year we worry about what is suitable but yet still fashionable but not look like you’ve gone completely out of your way and started wearing your summer holidays outfits. Oh god! Help?!

It would be so much easier and less mind bugging if we lived somewhere that sees the sun on a daily basis, but I guess that’s all part of the fun about UK fashion, you never know what’s going to happen, I mean the snow has yet to make an appearance this year! Do you wear your leather jacket instead of your boyfriend coat even though it is sunny, it will get chilly later? Or do you wear a midi skirt as opposed to the A-line just to cover up that extra bit of skin? These are just some of the questions that roll around in our heads this ‘spring’ season (if you want to call it that).

When I look at the designer catwalks, I always think the pieces aren’t really suitable for us UK individuals, but thank go for the high street! Because of our strange climate, retailers are forced to bring in pieces early than anticipated. The high street has provided us with some crackers in recent spells, but this season, the likes of Topshop, Forever 21 and online stop ASOS have excelled themselves. A bright coloured cami top can be teamed with some structured trousers and a blazer instead of a heavy jacket. A midi skirt can be teamed with a simple tee and some strappy sandals instead of Chelsea boots. The possibilities are endless. Spring floral’s, monochrome stripes and shiny metallics, are some of the main features in our wardrobes to wear with our boyfriend jeans, floaty skirts and lightweight blazers.

In recent seasons, there have definitely been more options in what to wear at this time of year, instead of the boring jeans top and cardigan; quilted crop tops, kimonos and skorts make some replacements.  And the CULOTTES are back! Its not just the silhouette, the colour makes all the difference; pastel tones, splashes of neon and metallic flashes have bought ‘Spring/Summer’ into the 21^st century. Here are some of the options out there for Spring 2014.

And now the shoes……

Lets hope the sun will continue shining and we can bring out our spring/summer wardrobe abit earlier than normal!

So come on fashionistas, tell me what you are planning to wear this Spring/Summer 2014!!
