Summer Trend Report: What’s Hot for Summer 2014?

Whilst we loved spring’s pretty pastels, boxy jackets and wide-leg trousers, (not forgetting the delicious Easter eggs in between) it’s time to wish this season farewell and say hello to summer instead. Embrace hot summer fashion trends and of course, those tempting cocktails, and you’ll no doubt ooze with style.  So, what’s sizzling for summer 2014? Read on to find out.

 

 Monochrome Mismatch

Black and white is back, but with a fresh and modern twist. This season it’s all about dressing top-to-toe in this trend and accessorising with a pop of colour. Let the monochrome work its magic and simply add a statement pair of shoes or eye-catching bag to brighten up the look – it is summer after all. We’re huge fans of our Paige Shoulder available in black, raspberry, tan and taupe. If you fancy continuing the two-tone trend, opt for black but if you’re pining for a bold hit of colour, reach for raspberry.

This want-right-now bag is perfect for slinging over your shoulder for work. Why? It’s perfect for fitting all your office essentials: iPhone, small cosmetic bag, reusable water bottle, and weekly planner. That’s right, this beauty holds up to size A4, making it extremely practical without being bulky. With plenty of pockets, nothing will go missing in our trusty Paige Shoulder.

Floral Fusion

It’s no surprise that floral prints are trending yet again for summer. Flower power has been in full bloom for quite some time, but this season it’s all about dressing in an explosion of floral prints. Like with monochrome, this pretty print looks its best when worn all over – even accessories. Why? Feminine floral prints don’t need brightening up, so incorporate this pattern into your entire wardrobe this season.
