Still in Season: The Bird Print

20 July 2011

Much like the maxi dress, the bird print has been a staple for this season's wardrobe. Although it's been around for weeks, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere, with even more inspired ideas and collections popping up all the time.

With the weather taking a downward turn and autumn sadly knocking at the door earlier than usual, here are a few ideas as to how to keep the bird trend fresh and appropriate for the sudden, but expected, change in the British summer weather.

We have seen plenty of bird print dresses this season and here we have another just as pretty and practical as the best of them.

Available from fashionunion.com, this piece is great to keep right through for early autumn. The black neck line and its versatility with some tights and warmer coat would make it look perfect in the upcoming transseasonal trends we'll be seeing. As seen in the picture, team with a matching colour bag and belt for some continuity and healthy accessorising.

Available for only £14.

There are some great bird accessories to be had at the moment. These Elements hummingbird pretties are available from Amazon for only £17.76. Dainty enough to be worn as an evening piece but trendy enough to be worn during the day, these sterling silver earrings are a new take on the bird trend. We love them.

With it's vintage brass material and pretty flower detail, this bird necklace from Oi! is the perfect accessory to any summer outfit. Team with a playsuit, cotton dress or skater skirt and you're keeping yourself on trend without going all out with a print. Only £19.46 from Amazon.

This little jumper is a great piece to take wear in the miserable summer weather. It's bright enough to keep your spirits up but warm enough to battle the chill outside. Team with chinos and loafers for a cute, preppy look. Available from Asos £35.

Beautiful, vintage inspired and a god send in this unpredictable climate, need we say anymore?
