KEY FASHION TRENDS
Bright and bold stripes:Classic
navy and white nautical stripes get
an update this season in the form
of every stripe style imaginable!
Horizontal, vertical, thick, skinny –
you name it, it’s in. Whether you are
looking for a new lightweight jumper
or rib knit top, stripes are the way to
add interest and update your look.
Sequins and sparkle:Sequins can
be used in any form on all styles
of garments. Jazz up your knitwear
with some traditional black sequins
or create impact by using silver for
head-turning detail. If you’re hesitant
to wear sequins, you can keep it
casual by styling an oversized sequin
top or shirt with black jeans or loose-
fitted trousers. It is also ideal to avoid
garments that fit too snugly. Replacing
