Spring/Summer 09 Trend Report

It’s not time to put your cashmere into storage just yet, but promises of warmer weather are enough of a temptation to start working on our Spring/Summer wardrobes now. In times like these, it’s important to shop wisely (now isn’t the time for stuffing unworn purchases under the bed), so get inspired with our Trend Report.

This S/S there’s something to suit everyone, from daring style mavens (revel at the brash colours and hard shoulders a la Dynasty) to the more demure (embrace your feminine side with ruffles and bows in blush-coloured chiffon and silks).

A perfect companion to all those frills (and the anecdote to those bold shoulder pads and traffic light colours) is the new floral - an oversized, watercolour-style bouquet - just the thing for those hard-to-dress-for events on your social calendar.

And creatures of comfort (who would gladly spend their days in cashmere all-in-ones if they could) will lap up folksy seventies and bohemian traveller - think wide-leg jeans, super-high wedges, glamourous kaftans and strappy gladiators.

Plus, the seasonal favourite, St. Tropez-ready Riviera (lashings of nautical stripes, navys and whites). And fashion magpies listen up - drenching yourself in molten metallics and sparkling sequins has never been so in vogue.
