Three hot trends guaranteed to put spring into your step
Here are some inspired looks to make sure you are in season
White trainers
Recently spotted: Phoebe Philo and her fashion pack have a penchant for wearing crisp white Adidas Stan Smith trainers. Brands including Asics, Puma, Saint Laurent, Jil Sander, Vans and Nike have also increased their white trainer offerings.
Staying power: the fresh look of the Stan Smith has evolved into the footwear item for those who want to look like in-the-know trendsetters while remaining comfortable. “We are now at a point where literally any outfit can be modernised by a simple white sneaker,” says Red Godfrey, vice president of the fashion office for Seattle-based retailer Nordstrom. “It is a classic, and after its fashion fandom moves on, you’ve still got a great pair of sneakers for weekend walks and workouts.”
How to best wear them: “Mixing sportswear with more classic pieces is very now,” Lovell says. Trainers are being paired with athleisure looks, as well as jeans, skirts and long dresses.
Scarves
Recently spotted: Hedi Slimane started showing scarves on the spring 2015 Saint Laurent catwalk. Models wore thin scarves tied around their necks in an effortless, rock’n’roll manner. Now, they’re being worn as thicker bandanas and thin, silky versions tied in bows, often paired with chokers and reinforcing the neck and shoulder areas. Lanvin, Gucci and Rodarte included a lot of scarves in their spring 2016 collections.
