If our weather would play nice, the latest spring fashion will wow you, says style director Louse Hilsz. One of her favourite shades is making a comeback; it’s the season to get coordinated, pleats rule and cut-out styles designed to show off your best assets. Here’s the ultimate guide on how to shop for spring shop this season.
Hot Pink
The Barbiecore trend is still strong this season. It’s time to add a splash of bright pink to your wardrobe, Hilsz says the only way to get into this shade is to consider this your new basic - in the same way, you think about black.

Printed co-ords
I love a matching set. This is one of the season’s biggest trends, and the great thing about this look is they’re so versatile and can be worn as separates or paired as a statement piece with your every day denim or linen.

Green Activewear
Sustainability may be a marketing word thrown around by some brands, but the activewear category seems to be actively using organic cotton and recycled materials. This trend is all about blending comfort while being conscious.
