Kind of blue

 

Thoughts will soon be turning to Spring and CityLiving gets an early peek at the latest collections available at House of Fraser...

Softer feminine silhouettes will be one of the key fashion statements this Spring.

Flounce and flirt in a coral cotton flared skirt from Naughty, £55, teamed with a peach rose print cropped jacket from Sticky Fingers, £110.

Designers have spanned the globe for inspiration and ethnic and tribal influences.

Imagine Carnival time in Rio with the excitement of wild printed skirts in shocking colours. Explore primitive prints from Africa with tribal markings on halter bikinis and echoes of the jungle with colours from olive and sienna to ochre and rich brown.

An embroidered lace belt is the perfect complement for the Noa Noa chiffon dress in aqua. £65

The young, wealthy LA living influences a mix of simple separates to create clean looks. Cotton vests in fondant stripes to coordinate tie front shorts in classic beige, one of the season’s new blacks.

Closer to home, the English countryside has been a source of inspiration. The freshness of the country garden is brought to life with an abundance of flowers from teeny-weeny florals to bolder blooms. Float in feminine style with soft, crinkle fabrics that ooze understated elegance.

Be relaxed in a tie-dye embellished camisole, £30, teamed with a flowing cotton skirt, £45 for a look which has echoes of festivals.

Don’t forget accessories, which are still enjoying a renaissance. Check out soft leather hobo charm bags or hippy-influenced jewellery and add an embellished suede belt to create the flowing, feminine silhouette.

Spring gives each of us a chance to be inspired - don’t let your wardrobe let you down.

House of Fraser, Corporation Street, Birmingham.
