Just because our Easter Eggs are decorated with florals doesn’t mean you have to be. The hottest trend from the Spring/Summer catwalk collections is military chic. Pale hues of khaki and skin tones made various appearances on the catwalks of Balmain, Stella McCartney and Celine emphasising power heels twinned with military-style shorts, and layered neutral colours. The parka jacket is also making a comeback and but is a far more stylish affair than the hooded grunge look of the 80s.
Silk and satin parkas with ribbon detail are popping up everywhere and are the perfect accessory for that uncertain Winter/Spring crossover when the weather plays havoc with the best laid of style plans. Neutral shades and straight cuts are perfect for an understated but smart look, and just think – the lesser the detail on the clothes, the greater the opportunity for statement shoes!
