Fashion trends: Military, charms, sportswear

Bea Taylor links into the latest trends.

Fusion fashion

Line up your military greens and march yourself towards uniform style this spring, or opt for the opposite approach and embrace your inner prima ballerina with floaty, tulle skirts.

Both khaki and ballet styles are favoured by the trendsetters this season.

Tip: If you are unsure whether you want to command the military look or pirouette like a fairy princess, try combining the two. Military lines add structure to pretty ballet skirts, creating a strikingly chic look.

Charming extra

Choosing the perfect jewellery to wear with your outfit can be tricky. We find a bracelet can make all the difference.

It can add detailed elegance to an understated look or give a point of simplicity to a flashier ensemble. Check out the Jennifer Lopez charm bracelets from Endless Jewelry. Bracelets from $100, charms from $60.

No longer just for the gym, sportswear is making its mark as comfortable, stylish ‘lifestyle’ clothing.

Pieces that effortlessly go from exercise gear to a coffee date with the girls or a lounge-around-the-home look, are rapidly becoming essentials.

Witchery’s Balance collection is a great example of this trend.

Boot legging

Before storing boots in the cupboard, place some clean used wine bottles in each leg to ensure they don’t lose their shape and are ready for next year.
