Spring trends to update your wardrobe, all for under £100...
Spring is on the way, and what better way to celebrate than to start working some new-season trends and refresh staples into your current wardrobe wares?
From shoulder-baring tops to ruffle blouses and on-point mules, the key SS16 trends are arriving in stores right now - and they won't require a loan. We've found the best new buys all for under £100.
These buy now, wear throughout the season pieces will instantly refresh your current wardrobe and can be adapted as the temperatures rise. Right now, we're coveting longline trench coats (try Marks & Spencer's open-front version), 70s-style denim (think button-up skirts and cropped flares), and lashings of accessories (decorative clutches and sculptural earrings are the way to go).
And as we look ahead to what we'll be wearing on sandy beaches and lazy weekends lounging in the park, there's floral dresses, silk camis and luxed-up espadrilles which can be worn now as well as throughout summer.
Not only is the high street offering looking stronger than ever right now, there's even some designer bargains to be had - from Christopher Kane jewellery toIsabel Marant shoes - you really don't want to miss out on these lust-worthy and purse-friendly buys.
While we're coveting these on-trend buys, no spring wardrobe refresh would be complete without the addition of some key staples. So if you're looking for some basics that'll see you right through the warmer months,head to Warehouse and Miss Selfridge (among many others) for their stripy shirts, wear-anywhere culottes and workwear tailoring.
If that's not enough, Zara has your new season footwear dilemmas covered with some seriously dreamy mules. Whether you go high or low, there's a pair for you to try here and they can be worn with everything in your current wardrobe. The same rule applies for Mango's wide-leg linen trousers - they'll blend seamlessly with all of your favourite pieces. Why not check out our Mango discounts here?
