Fashion: Yes YOU Can...
… get fresh with spring checks. Fashion Director Shelly Vella shows you how.
One of my favourite things about the change in seasons is watching wintry colours ease into brighter spring tones – so too with prints. Whether you love a preppy check or gravitate towards ginghams, look to a prettier palette. Citrus tones, plays on purple and sky blue all look fresh on everything from knitwear to summer dresses. My favourite? A boldly printed trench coat worn with crisp white.
