Trendwatch: 6 of the biggest fashion trends to know this spring

Spring is on the horizon, so we've rounded up the trends to watch for the coming season.

Oversized shapes are the latest word in workwear: so say Burberry and Victoria Beckham. Think voluminous silk blouses, big-shouldered blazers and tailored trousers with paper-bag waists.

Get into summer dreaming with tie-dye T-shirts, conch shell earrings and over-the-top florals that bring a Venice Beach vibe. Just add a surfboard.

Red and yellow and pink and green… The catwalks’ new palette is truly kaleidoscopic. The only rule? The brighter the better. And add lime green to your shopping list now .

Prim is the new cool, as elegant dressing gets a reboot. This über-polished look is all about the finishing flourishes, so say ‘yah’ to pretty pearls, hairbands, kitten heels and gloves.

Nineties child? Rejoice. Boilersuits and combats are back and, according to Isabel Marant and Givenchy, the more pockets the better. Forget military green and go for fresh shades of bubblegum and cornflower blue.

Cycling shorts are the new leggings, but don’t fret — no bike-riding is required. Big sports energy is everywhere for summer; contrast with tailoring and heels to look more polished, less gym.
