Your Capsule Wardrobe

February sees us start afresh with your new capsule wardrobe for Spring/Summer 2012. Once again over the coming months we’ll be building a capsule wardrobe of versatile garments that will mix n’ match with ease to create a whole range of looks that will have you at your most stylish and confident best.

This Spring Summer season is a much prettier affair, it’s about being feminine and embracing fashion and most importantly having fun with it. So on that note and because it’s pretty chilly outside we’re starting off very bright and summer breezy…

 

Peplum

The peplum is one of the key shape details this season and is actually very figure-friendly, showing off your waist to its best and also deftly covering thighs for those of you who are pear shaped.

This cardigan from Mint Velvet is a great way to buy into the trend and give your shape structure while still retaining a relaxed and, most importantly, comfortable edge! Team with this season’s coloured jeans for an on-trend colour block….

This cardigan will look chic with the coloured blazer from the autumn/winter capsule wardrobe and jeans, a great cover up over the pretty dress or with the pencil skirt.

Merino Wool Peplum Cardigan

£55

Sizes 8-16

Mint Velvet

Coloured Jeans

Colour falls into two camps this season – pastels and brights. An easy way to buy into the colour trend is with as great pair of jeans, especially for those of you who favour a high impact, low maintenance style. Team with a shine top and heels for equivalent impact by night.

These jeans are by Not Your Daughters Denim from ISME which means they have extra figure-flattery trickery! Every pair of jeans is design with a patented criss-cross panel that gently tucks and premium stretch denim that works to lift and shape to give you added confidence.

As well as the peplum cardigan and scarf, the jeans will work with last season’s capsule wardrobe shirt/blouse and snakeskin heels, simple knit jumper and snake skin heels or with the coloured blazer and a simple tee.

Not Your Daughters Jeans Turquoise Ankle Jeans

Sizes 6-20

Printed Scarf

Tie it, twist it, belt it, knot it….a printed scarf is bang on trend for this season and is the multi-talented accessory that works every which way. Place it around your body – slung loose around your neck to add height and draw focus upwards as well as creating a long line down your torso, worn as a belt to highlight your waist and compliment curves or tied around your bag to draw focus outwards.

This scarf from M&S will look chic with your colour jeans and peplum cardigan for an on-trend print and colour or is the perfect accompaniment to any of last season’s capsule looks.
