Spring into SS18

Just like the first Daffs of spring, the new trends are bursting through in stores like New Look, Hobbs, River Island and Oasis.

Vintage florals

It might not come as a shock to hear that florals are flourishing this spring. But this season they have a distinctly vintage feel – think pretty and delicate 1940s and ‘50s lady and you’re bang on trend. Check out collections in New Look, River Island, Oasis and Hobbs.

Patterns and prints

If you think checks and plaids are winter patterns, think again – because we’re seeing a charge of checks just in time for spring at River Island.

Crazy brights

Reach for the sunnies – because things are about the get bright! Expect neon accents and primary shades, worn either in monochrome blocks or high octane prints.

Perfect pastels

Mix and match them – pastels are best worn in the weirdest combinations possible this spring. Shop the trend in New Look and River Island.

Spruce up your wardrobe for spring!

It’s incredible what a difference the sunshine makes. Brighter days, brighter moods, brighter clothes – and the return of feel-good fashion!
We look ahead to spring’s upcoming trends with the help of some of our favourite stores…

New Look – The ‘new in’ collection at New Look is set to impress. Enjoy edgy florals and daring denim, plus the cutest selection of bags to compliment every outfit. Chunky footwear and eye-catching earrings seem to be here to stay…

Oasis – Your go-to shop for easy-wearing sophistication. Explore the updated collection of light yet cosy knits, elegant shirts, sweet tea dresses and figure-hugging wraps in ditsy floral prints and radiant hues. They’ll make you feel sunny from top to toe!

Office – Your dazzling new look wouldn’t be complete without statement footwear. The must see: My Girl Block Heel Courts in blue or mustard suede – if these don’t say spring, we don’t know what will. The new collection also gives the Classic Crosby a revamp, and there are plenty of casual essentials to choose from, like the ever-handy Toms Slip Ons.
