Fashion trends that won’t break the bank

As the spring fashion trends are already coming into the spotlight, with designers making bold predictions about the coming year, we’ve decided to take a look at the incoming styles you can look forward to. Ditch the expensive materials and personally tailored outfits – this guide is all about the trends you can afford!

Knitwear

Knitted pieces will last out the winter and enjoy a spring outing too this year, with key pieces in grey wools becoming a popular way to inject a subtle texture to your outfit. Alternatively, aim for chunky-knit accessories for a statement piece, and skip the cashmere in favour of half-and-half sythentic wool with a bright print for a scarf that will add just as much to your look. The best thing about knitwear is that you can make it yourself, allowing you to stay on-trend and learn a new hobby!

Flora and fauna

Prints, prints, prints: expect to see lots of nature-themed outfits this spring, from animal print motifs to floral designs and even subversions of the classic bird print with cats and foxes. Owls are still big, and getting bigger; this bizarre trend is taking street fashion by storm, so don’t miss out! Marisota offer a range of floral tops and dresses at an amazing price, ideal for updating your wardrobe in a flash.

8-bit chic

Space invaders, neon colours and Gameboy motifs are all on-trend at the moment as retro style takes on a decidedly geeky trend. Avoid going overboard by looking through charity shops and car boots for genuine vintage accessories, rather than going overboard online.
