Although the weather shows otherwise (it’s nearly April, do we really need any more snow?!), it is actually coming up to the highly anticipated Spring/Summer season. With boots, tights and thick unflattering coats currently taking up the majority of my wardrobe, I honestly cannot wait to start wearing dresses again, and so – to get us all in the mood (and hopefully, cheer us up a little) I’ve decided to write a little summer-y inspired trends post. And where better to start with than New Look!
Festival/Pagan Chic
I personally have never entered the realm of festivals before (sorry, I can’t deal with all the mud, the camping and the lack of loos) but ‘festival’ wear is one of my favourite trends, so I was pleased to hear that it is back with a vengeance this summer. Rather than just Hunters and hot-pants though, it is much more girlie this year, with cute paisley prints, aztec print boots and chic florals. I can’t wait! To visit the whole collection, click here.
Monochrome
Summer might be more commonly linked to gorgeous pastel colours and floral prints, but surprisingly – this year, the monochrome trend, which has been hugely popular this a/w, will be carrying on and permeating our summers too. Although I am much more of a bright colour lover than a black and white fiend, I do quite like some of New Look’s black and white picks, as they are in keeping with the monochrome trend but still maintain that little summer injection.

Spring Prints
Summer and spring-time prints are my all-time favourite trend, so much so that I even try and sneak a few into my winter outfits too. Whether it’s paisley, butterfly print, floral or mesh textured prints you choose, you can be sure to find a whole range of printed designs within the New Look collection (see full range here).
And, the other summer essentials:
Of course, no summer season is complete without a new pair of sunglasses, and a new tote bag. It would take me all day to narrow down my favourites, but take a look at the linked collections and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
