Okay okay so we're already in spring- it's been at least a solid month since I've seen rain in the UK so it's basically time to skin out LOL. Here are a few SS17 trends I've been feeling.
1) Statement Sleeves
Extra long sleeves and wide armed sleeves are key. I really like this trend- it can be dressed up or down and it feels so comfortable. You can find t-shirt dresses with these wide sleeves on too; its like a rebranded batwing arm.

2) Baby Pink
This colour is just classic. I actually only realised this because it was the signature colour of the man himself, Tubo Adeaga. Baby pink was seen a lot on sweaters during the winter weather (thanks to Santan Dave), and it's going to continue taking over your IG feed through the spring and summer seasons
Bouncing off this trend, there summer seventeen is also pairing pink with red. Shades vary a lot on different catwalks but my preference is baby pink paired with red or burgundy.

3) Embroidery: Roses
Not going to lie, I live for this trend. I do. Embroidery is currently popping and is making a transition from being on denim items to being on t-shirts, bags and shoes. Patches such as lips, phrases i.e YASSS, cartoon characters etc are all common, but I'm drawn toward roses.
It's a trend that's on the edge of becoming "too popular" but there are so many ways to style embroidered items. Plus, do you boo.

4) Off shoulder
It will never die. From bodycon dresses to button-down shirts and crop tops. Never. Also, for the girls who prefer not showing cleavage, this works as an alternative to scoop or v-shaped necklines. And it suits everybody.

5) Vertical Stripes
These have been seen on many runways from AW16 to SS17. Pinstripes in particular are popping, particularly on button down shirts, trousers and playsuits ; they sprinkle an ounce of class onto any outfit.

6) Whale-Net Tights
They add the sauce to the outfit.

7) Culottes + Wide Leg Trousers
As I'm growing up, I'm really opening my eyes to the fact that Joni jeans and crop tops don't epitomise fashion. I'm enjoying the less form-fitting clothing trends such as wide legged pants and culottes. These can be dressed up or down and can be found in a range of patterns and cuts. They can be worn with bodysuits or even with a more loose fitting to tucked in.
