OK, here are my recommended buys for March...

Prints are everywhere this season; a printed dress is a wardrobe fail-safe, so face up to your print fear with this gorgeous number from Wallis. It’s directional yet wearable print visually drapes around and envelopes the body for an effect that is delicately flattering, sophisticated with a little bit of sass too.

Many of you tell us that you struggle to find modern and stylish dresses that cover your arms. Well this one’s billowing sleeves are a part of its alluring charm. They will draw attention in so belt your waist if you require more definition.

You’ll be a subtle knock out!

It’s time to get tangoed but thankfully not of the fake tan variety! From shades of autumn leaves on the turn to tangerine hues, a juicy orange is one of the colours du jour and will add a much needed shot of sunshine to these (still) dreary days.

An exquisitely simple blouse is a great way to look effort and stylish during these transitional months and this one with its zesty shade injects a vibrant youthful flair. Style with loose trousers or flared jeans for one of this season’s hottest concoctions. Chic and feminine in one fresh squeeze...

If you want to experiment with your and spring’s softer side then this floaty ruffled maxi dress from Marks & Spencer is right on the money. Light and sensual, this dress has a boudoir seductiveness that keeps it flirty and feminine yet on the right side of girlie. Add a little edge with a bright shoe or bag, keeping things pure and simple for a look that is modern rather than saccharine sweet.

Now this is a print with personality! Fashion is having fun this season (well, where Miucca Prada and her monkeys and bananas go, we follow!) and this jumper will certainly bring the fun factor to any outfit. Simply slip it on and sashay and twirl to your own popping fashion beat.

This print commands lots of attention so keep you bottom half streamlined if it is bigger than your top, or if not add some width to keep the balance. But that’s enough of the serious stuff!

Trapeze Jumper

St Barts Trapeze Jumper
£65.00
Sizes 8-18
