THE TOP 5 LOOKS FOR SPRING

Feminine is the coming season’s key word. Day and evening lines are blurred – dramatic eyes and partylicious hair work equally well under the spring sun and party lights. Here’s our guide to the top five spring fashion and beauty styles.

THE TOP 5 LOOKS FOR SPRING

 

MODERN CLASSICS 

Think modern Marlene Dietrich: white tailored classics, sophisticated pink nails. Let your accessories do the talking: the fedora will score high style points this spring with its androgynous edge. 

Love the wave – glamorous, simple, perfect under a hat. If you don’t have it naturally, create volume by blow drying upside down. Remember to protect your tips with a heat-protective styling cream.

ROCK CHIC

Sheer and romantic meets clean silhouettes. Put on a pencil skirt and a delicate blouse, then dramatise with a biker jacket.

Frills are back, and we adore Isabel Marant’s sheer jackets in inky black. The frilled blouse is key and versatile, along with suit trousers for a masculine twist.

Forget the ‘eyes or mouth’ rule! Go ahead, be the centre of attention with your dramatic eyes and pouty mouth. Start with a BB cream for flawless skin, then fetch your BFF. You know: the coal-black kohl. And don’t be shy about it. All you need now are coral red lips...

LUSCIOUS LACE 

The most iconic fabric of spring. When Kate Middleton wed her prince in an Alexander McQueen creation by Sarah Burton, creative director of the Alexander McQueen brand, lace instantly became a wardrobe staple. Sensual has gone sophisticated… and we love it!

Makeup is our key accessory this spring. Mesmerise with smoky eyes and matching nails – pure elegance.

EASY ELEGANCE

White is the colour for spring, but crisp accents are another hot trend and elevate the style. Another key piece is the overcoat. We’ll be wearing it in a warm shade along with strong burgundy lips.

A loose French plait is ideal for an easy, natural look. Twist a strand around the elastic to hide it; finish with spray.

BOHEMIAN BEAUTY 

The beauty palette is coral and electric blue. Blue eyes starred on the spring catwalk, where Marc Jacobs’ models lit up the room with their turquoise cat’s eyes.

This is our interpretation of this spring’s romantic Bohemian girl, happiest in a flowing maxi-dress. For her makeup, we’ve chosen knockout blue mascara, metallic blue shadow and shimmering pink lips.


TOP TIP
Indigo blue shadows are also showing up on the A/W 14 catwalks, so get in ahead of the crowd, and find yours – now!
