SPRING FASHION 2018: DON’T MISS OUT ON THESE TRENDS FOR THE SEASON!

Read on to find out about spring 2018's wardrobe essentials.

The classic trench coat never seems to go out of fashion. In the latest collections, designers have come up with a new spin on this timeless classic, introducing bold colours and playful decorations. Expect to find imaginative additions like beads, knitwear and coloured buttons on 2018's finest trench coats.

Why not round off the classic trench coat look with a pair of cat eye glasses? Available mainly in brown and black, these stylish glasses give your face more character and strengthen its contours at the same time.

This year's spring collection promises to be a riot of colours, so why limit yourself to one tone? By using colour blocking skillfully, you can capitalise on one of the season's major trends and create dazzling, colourful outfits.

Warm tones can be combined with cold ones, but don't mix randomly coloured fabrics. If you like your outfits to be more colourful, try to wear no more than three colours together, and also choose subtle garments which provide your look with an attractive balance.

The colour blocking look is ideal for everyday use as long as you keep colours within the same "colour family". So, for example, you could wear red, dark pink and rose pink pieces along with plain white sneakers and a more extravagant rucksack. In order for the colours not to clash, make sure that the differences between the colours are clearly visible.

Have you ever combined stripes with dots? Spring fashion in 2018 is going to be all about creating unusual pattern combinations. Popular patterns like stars, flowers or paisley can be added to your outfits, complementing each other in the process. But here's the trick: keep your patterns within the same colour family, and use two or three patterns to add some energy to your look. It's also important to choose a few more discreet garments to offset the striking patterns of others, creating a nice sense of harmony.

2018 is no exception. This year, the focus will be on feminine looks and delicate colours such as light blue, beige, pink and yellow. And fabrics will tend to be lightweight. The lighter the fabric, the more you underline the playfulness of your brightly coloured outfit. Expect to find materials like viscose, chiffon and silk in this season's collections that will combine effortlessly with classic jeans or leather. As for jewellery, subtlety is the thing to remember. But if you do want to make a statement, try to limit it to one element, and don't overwhelm your overall look.

Spring fashion in 2018 is shaping up to be characterised by colour and energy, so enjoy the wide range of flamboyant looks and have fun combining outfits and trying things out!
