It still may only be February, but if you’re anything like me and you’re wishing these bleak winter months away, then it’s time to start thinking about your Spring and Summer wardrobe.
For Spring/Summer 2023, we saw continuation from many of the trends seen in Autumn – meaning that the pieces we have already invested in are still good to go! There seems to be a big shift happening towards circular fashion and whilst the latest trends are there to inspire and influence your next season wardrobe, you should only invest in new pieces if you intend to keep them for a very long time.
So, without further ado, keep reading to see my list of some of the most noteworthy spring/summer trends…

Whilst usually associated with autumn/winter collections, metallics were a standout trend this season after showing up in the collections of many designers including Givenchy, Tory Burch and Simone Rocha. If the thought of metallics in summer is still a little daunting to you, why not ease into the trend with sparkling pair of earrings or a timeless handbag?
