The basic trends of Spring/Summer 2013 have been revealed as monochrome, boho chic and statement prints- in particular bold animal prints. We’ve carefully selected a key piece from each collection, take a look and tell us what you think.

Monochrome
The AJC sheer chiffon blouse is the ideal addition to your spring/summer wardrobe, as its sheer fabric is the perfect canvas for layering to combat the unpredictability of our British weather. In addition to this, the shirt can either been worn as a part of casual or formal attire depending on what is it teamed with. For a more casual look to the one Helen demonstrates, match with high-waisted denim shorts, tights, flats and a collection of fun accessories.

Boho
The Jersey Gold Trim Maxi-dress is the ideal piece for wearing in British summer, as well as exotic holidays and the embellishment on the bust adds interesting detail and is extremely flattering. With such a cleavage-flaunting dress such as this stunning maxi, you may wish to enhance your assets in one of our ever-reliable friends, the push up bra. This, when teamed with an edgy denim jacket and intricate gold jewellery, will certainly catch eyes.

Prints
Aside from the typical floral and stripe prints, the best Bird Print Chiffon Top by AX Paris is a cute and delicate take on the print trend. The a-line shape of this top, combined with its scoop neckline, is exceedingly flattering for most body shapes. Unlike the more relaxed look Helen outlines, this top, when combined with a bright skater skirt and heels, can create an elegant and glamorous look.

Animal
Despite now entering into the warmer months, it would be a little too optimistic not to consider a light jacket when purchasing your new summer wardrobe. The Melrose Animal Print Trench Coat is a chic and playful way to keep the rain off and can be worn with a vast range of pieces creating many different look, however try to avoid an array of other prints when wearing such a statement printed piece as this.
