Key pieces open the door to spring

IT’S time to ditch the winter wardrobe. Spring has arrived and the latest season’s fashions are waiting to be discovered in stores across the country.
This season it’s all about making a statement in bright bold colours.
Award-winning fashion and beauty blogger Nikki Parkinson said colour blocking, which involved wearing a combination of bold colours, was “the biggest trend” of the season.
In contrast, Ms Parkinson said dressing in all white was also considered chic.
She said across both of these trends there was also a strong ’70s influence with maxi dresses, skirts platform wedges and shoes all making a comeback.
The style expert said must-have spring fashion items included at least one accessory in a bold colour, a pair of platform or wedge shoes, a white blazer and a maxi skirt or dress.
“The maxi has been around for a few seasons but it is still a very strong trend. It’s fabulous, it suits a lot of people and all different shapes,” Ms Parkinson said.
A fan of Country Road, Ms Parkinson said walking in-store and noticing a lot more colour was an “exciting way to start the season”.
Ms Parkinson said those seeking the latest fashions would also be pleasantly surprised by Big W’s latest fashion line, Emerson.
She said the new range was a winner with its on-trend designs and affordable prices.
For those seeking to update their wardrobes, Ms Parkinson said it was important for shoppers to schedule in time to shop for the latest season trends.
She said it was important to “make an appointment with yourself” to go shopping strictly for clothes. “Don’t get distracted by other things ... take your time and sift through everything,” Ms Parkinson said.
“Go through all of the racks and try on things you normally wouldn’t ... surprise yourself. ”
Before you even go shopping, sort through your wardrobe, she said. Keeping up with the latest fashions didn’t have to mean spending a fortune on a whole lot of new things. Ms Parkinson said find key pieces, which may be items your already own, and bring them up to date.
