Florals, for spring, how groundbreaking. But we beg to differ with this vintage-inspired midi dress.

2) #Throwback

"'80s and ‘90s references have featured heavily in seasons past and have worked their way into our wardrobes, think: checked blazers, high waisted jeans, boyfriend shape tees and retro sneakers. Now, puff sleeves, tweed jackets and chain jewellery all combine to create the most literal representation of this era we have seen to date," Aiken shares.

Take a nostalgic walk down the fashion memory lane as anything 'old' become cool again. Trust us when we say you'll want to wear these items everyday, and not just on #ThrowbackThursday!

3) Colour Me Happy

"Saturated shades and crayola brights have become far less intimidating. Even in terms of styling, the clash has been taken one step further with bright on bright," Aiken says.

While clashing your colours used to be a huge no-no, this season it's time to experiment and embrace unusual colour combinations. Say goodbye to dreary neutrals and hello to Crayola colours.
