1.  Collars

The Oxford socialite or BESS wanker look is in this season. Collared shirts and sharp tailoring are making a comeback so work some preppy casual into your wardrobe!

2.  Bomber jackets

While we in the Trinity Arts block might have seen a few of these last year around campus, they are the latest 90s trend to start a fashion comeback, so expect to see them everywhere this year.

3.   Metallics

Gold is the new black as they say, with silver coming in second best.

4.  Prints

Florals. For spring. This is ground-breaking stuff, but this season they went down the catwalk alongside tribal patterns. If you must do florals be innovative, but Aztec print is the new daisy motif.

5.  Brogues

Men’s shoes for women, the androgyny theme rolls on from number one. Do them in colours or metallics with some quirky laces to be bang on trend this season.

6.  Fringing

It’s not festival season yet, but fringe is back with a yee-haw. Think cowboy casual.

7.  Sportswear

80’s video workout style sportswear worked into your everyday outfit. Tube socks, vests, sporty style shorts and stretchy fabrics are all perfect for this.

8.  Sheer fabrics

Get your good bras on girls, because sheer is here. Subtle flesh flashing is replacing the crop top; classy but sassy.

9.  Textures

Think 3D! The bold logo is on the way out and now it’s all about the fabrics, the details, beadwork and boldness.

10.  Waist belts

2013 saw us flaunting the hourglass in high-waisted jeans and skirts and the belt takes up where they left off, so there’s no excuse not to create or accentuate some curves!
