This Spring Season we are seeing lots of colours of nature, especially blues and greens.  These can be bright or a more subtle pastel shade. Let me guide you through you can wear these colours with confidence this Spring.

Fresh Greens

This bright green shade is everywhere and in everything from tops, knitwear, trousers, skirts, shorts, jackets and accessories. So, if it’s a colour that suits you and you love now is the time to add it to your wardrobe – perhaps choose a statement jacket like this one from Boden

If it feels too much don’t forget you can add a splash of it at your feet – and these baseball trainers from Next will put a spring in your step!

Or this floral dress from Fat Face which will look wonderful on you if you have some warmth to your skin / hair

Into the Blue

Blue often makes a style statement in Spring, and this season doesn’t fail to deliver, and in fact turns the dial up on bold blue

This Wyse London dress is in a fluid broderie viscose fabric with pretty ruffles at the neckline and a tiered skirt. Whilst John Lewis might have called an end to the maxi dress and pump look, my personal opinion is that this trend will not end just yet – its too easy to wear for us to walk away from it!

Or you might like the cotton spot shirt from Pure Collection, which is a piece which is very easy to style

Ss well as bold blues you’ll find lots of the pastel blues too.  Pastels look particularly good on you if you have a lightness to your colouring – so think light coloured hair and light eyes.

These blue cropped trousers from Monsoon are cool and casual for everyday yet smart enough for days in the office.   A very versatile piece.

And this tweed jacket from Mango also hits another big trend this Spring of pockets.  Just bear in mind the positioning on pockets, as they will draw attention to that area – so use to flatter your body shape

Don’t forget – an easy way to add a pop of seasonal colour to your wardrobe is by using accessories.  This cross body bag from M&S, is a perfect on trend addition!

In the world of fashion, colours that reflect nature have been trending for a while now – some say it’s been reflecting the desire for comfort and stability during the uncertain times we have been living through.

In this AW21 season, we are seeing nature colours like green continuing to trend – but with wider and more diverse shades of green.

Pantone announced its AW21 colours which included the core colour of ‘Olive Branch’ – a tasteful green symbolic of growth, alongside ‘Green Bee’ – a grassy green that perpetuates nature.

So whether you are already a green fan, or the shade makes you think of your old school uniform – this season is the season to GO GREEN.

So here’s my tips on how to look great in green this season.

Greens this season aren’t just the deeper, darker shades that you can often associate with autumn/ winter fashion – this season the shades also include lighter (and brighter, but more on that later) shades. One of my personal favourites is this mint coloured biker jacket from the French fashion brand Captain Tortue. Not only is the colour perfect, it’s also a great layering piece which will take you right through to Spring. Dress down with jeans, or wear with a floaty dress to elongate your summer wardrobe.

Another great layering piece for those of you who prefer a lighter green is this super snuggly cardigan from White Stuff. The leaves pattern is perfect for Autumn!

If you have dark hair and dark eyes then a deeper shade of green will emphasise those features, and look great on you. I love this animal print midi dress from M&S.  Animal print continues to trend in AW21, and this dress can easily be layered up (underneath as well as over the top) and worn all through the season.
