Move over bike shorts, the classic Bermuda style is where it’s at this spring. Just think of these as the bike short’s older, more sophisticated cousin. With its modest in-between length, Bermuda shorts are ideal for warm weather days in the office. Don’t forget to keep it monochrome for ultimate polish (we love this black J Brand option!). Alternatively, for something more casual, opt for vintage-wash denim – this DL1961 pick is a favourite of ours – paired with a lime green wrap tee and chunky “dad” trainers. A relaxed beige blazer is the perfect neutral accent, along with a layered chain necklace and bucket bag. For the final touch, add in an athleisure-inspired visor – your outfit will be street style-approved in no time!
The Best Spring Fashion Trends And How To Wear Them
The Prairie Top
You can never go wrong with jeans and a nice top. This season, we’re looking to the Wild West for inspiration on how to update this classic outfit combo for spring. The prairie top brings together gingham, ruffles and pastel hues galore, the more the merrier! Case in point, this sweet smocked waist top by WAYF. Pretty in pink, this ASOS pick is another winner – we love its slightly cropped fit, which stops the overall look from slipping into grandma territory. Denim-wise, a dark inky wash brings contrast to all of that saccharine sweetness, while flatform sandals add an unexpected utilitarian edge. From there, accessorise with a chic top handle bag, bold marble-look hoops and a statement belt.
Skirt Set
The style crowd loves a matching co-ord, and we don’t blame them – it is an effortless ready-made outfit after all. This spring, the most popular co-ord comes in the form of the skirt set. Look out for floaty midi-lengths paired with pretty romantic tops, like Reformation’s Yucca Two Piece. This set comes in a light linen fabric, making it a dream for Hong Kong’s hot humid days to come. To style, make like the French and pair it with raffia sandals and a basket bag. Or, if you’re craving colour, this floral Zara set is easy on the eye and the wallet. Finish the look with polished pearl accessories courtesy of Cotton On for instant date night vibes.
The Suit
No longer the domain of stuffy office wear, the suit is making a street style comeback. Yes, the look remains firmly in the realm of smart-casual, but modern design details, including fit and colour, ensure a fashion-forward twist for spring. Ease into the trend with a neutral skirt suit that’s perfect for both day and night. The only accessories you’ll need are a subtle glitter eye and gold jewellery. Or, for the more adventurous among you, how about this candy-hued Jacquemus trouser suit? Wear with a simple metallic top, nude mesh heels and this Bottega Veneta Pouch lookalike for effortless cosmopolitan chic.
The Floral Dress
There’s no denying that florals are a spring fashion staple. This time round, the blooming beautiful print goes retro with bright and bold vintage-inspired patterns. The easiest way to incorporate this trend into your everyday wardrobe is via the floral dress. Opt for voluminous silhouettes and easy midi-lengths for pieces that you can just throw on and go, such as this ROTATE dress or this budget-friendly H&M number. Trainers or kitten heels serve as our shoes of choice, depending on the occasion. A blue mesh bag and gold sunnies add kitsch and texture to the overall look. Don’t forget your spritz of perfume!
