Balmain's SS09 distressed denim is bang on trend this season
With so many new spring trends to keep of track of, not to mention the re-emergence of winter fashion, courtesy of the mass snow influx, we thought we'd give you a helping hand on what trends to keep and ditch this month.
Firstly, you can breathe a small sigh of relief as wet look leggings are on their way out this season, as luxe and disco styles take their place instead.
We're not sure if that's exactly good news, as the new styles are very loud and bright to say the least, but with neon brights and the 80s playing a huge influence on our look this summer, it may be time to give them a go.
Store your wet look leggings until next season, as we're sure to see a re-emergence of them on the AW09 catwalks later this month. Leggings in general are a staple buy, so don't be afraid to splash out on a few pairs of these in upcoming seasons.
Next, give your knitwear a funky twist by customizing your old cardigan with a lavish brooch or sew on some new buttons, to make it look brand spanking new.
Jumpers are relegated now until autumn, but cardigans are an all-year-round staple, as they provide the perfect cover up for both cold and hot days. If you fancy making a new purchase this month then opt for a hot pink or yellow cardi to add to your collection.
Last season was all about the boyfriend jean being a wardrobe staple, and now it's time to return those back to your actual boyfriend, as denim goes back to basics and heavily bleached styles become the focal point for the summer.
Bleached jackets, skirts, dresses and most notably, skinny jeans are going to be everywhere, again as a homage to the 80s. Team with oversized T-shirts, neon pumps and a selection of bow headbands.
The new LBD is all about puffball skirts and lantern style shapes, so the days of the slinky black number are all but numbered- well, for this season at least.
Hopefully, you will have made this investment last year and can just recycle it with the aid of a chunky belt or statement necklace. If not, there are plenty of gorgeous goodies on the high-street for you to get your hands on.
Lastly, and somewhat unfortunately jumpsuits are back en-vogue, so if you hadn't already ditched the one you bought two years ago, prepare to revisit it for the summer.
It's not that we're not a big fan or anything, but just find them incredibly hard to pull off, you know, with us not being supermodels or anything!
It's like harem pants, which are also big news for this season- unless you wear them with the right accessories, have super-high heels on and have bags of confidence to pull them off, they simply won't work.
