Must-have fashion for spring

Bright colours, barely-there fabrics, bold graphic stripes and statement sleeves were all key looks at the spring/summer 2016 shows. Get the look with the brand new Very clothing range

Loud and proud

The future is bright. The catwalks were bursting with colour, presenting a paint box full of big, bold hues. From power shades worn head-to-toe at Akris to florescent lace combinations at Christopher Kane, blending in just wasn’t an option.

Soft sheers and heavenly lace designs are big news for spring. Choose from pure white, dramatic black and pale pastels, or give a nod to this season’s vivid neons and brights.

Get in line

Press pause on your classic Breton and go for the new bold graphic stripes instead. Be brave and make a statement by pairing striped separates together. Very has some great matching pieces – wear together or mix and match.

Pumped-up sleeves are set to be huge in spring/summer 2016. Taking inspiration from Victorian silhouettes and the classic looks of the Eighties, there are a host of different styles to experiment with. Look out for bell sleeves, shoulder cut-outs, and puffed-up silhouettes.
