SUNSHINE YELLOW
A Sunny Disposition
Just as the first rays of spring sun warm our souls, let the life-affirming power of yellow invigorate your wardrobe this season. From Bally to Zimmermann, the runways were basking in a glow of yellow tones, from feminine pale lemon to more vibrant amber shades, with full tonal looks bringing the most solar sophistication. Key among the silhouettes are tailored blazers and trousers by the likes of Comma and More & More at up to 70% less, offering a bright and powerful statement, or swap the trousers for a tonal yellow midi skirt by Only. For a more casual vibe, look to labels such as Guess and Scotch & Soda for feminine dresses, breezy trousers, and tapered jeans, while pale yellow lightweight knits and shirts are their perfect dance partners. Go for bold yellow tones in the shape of sunglasses, shoes, and bags to serve your wardrobe sunny side up.

POWER DRESSING
Meet The New Tailored Edge
Once upon a time, power dressing meant structured shoulders and cigarette pants, but this summer’s flavour of tailored confidence enrolls the sophisticated assistance of loose-fitting blazers and wide-leg trousers. We’ve found glorious examples of this fluid look at Vero Moda and Only, both of whom have utilised a soft, neutral colour palette in order to let the silhouette do all the talking (but black and navy looks will work equally as well too). Both blazer and trousers can be worn as separates, and in the case of the latter, you can complement the palazzo pant vibe with a sharp waistcoat by Comma in a similar tone. Oversized white or off-white shirts by Seidensticker and Eterna are another stylish device to emphasise the flowy aesthetic, all of which you can punctuate with sharper angles in your pointy shoes, belt, and clutch bag.

STATEMENT ACCESSORIES
Small Stature, Big Statement
Sometimes, all you need for a wardrobe refresh is an accessories upgrade, and this season’s offerings will not disappoint. From bold tone clutch bags to kaleidoscopic statement wedges via look-at-me sunglasses and chunky jewellery, there are a million and one ways to give your looks a glow-up at Designer Outlet Ochtrup this season. We’re in love with the colourful clutches and leather handbags at the likes of Liebeskind Berlin and Fossil, all of which create a strong contrast to the white lace trend, and really complement the must-have midi skirt trend. Stand-out shoes in the shape of strappy sandals by Ara, flats by Copenhagen, and sling-backs by G. K. Mayer Shoes won’t fail to turn heads, while a final colourful flourish by way of a bold leather belt and oversized shades will ensure that you are the most talked-about guest at every summer party.

WHITE LACE
A Dose Of Delicate Femininity
White lace is having a big comeback this season thanks to a host of designers completely modernising how we think of it. The likes of Chloe, Valentino and Elie Saab have changed its image from an antiquated fabric to something altogether more contemporary and visionary, and we love the results! What’s more, it’s lightweight, elegant, and perfect for keeping you cool in the sun. Top-to-toe lace is the way forward, in the shape of an ornate dress by Marc Aurel, or by combining lacy separates such as blouses and crop tops by Guess with midi and mini skirts by JOOP! – all at up to 70% less. You’ll look like a stunning vision in all white, especially if you double-down on white accessories such as strappy sandals or sling-backs, crochet bags, and sunglasses. For a sustainable approach, you could even incorporate vintage lace pieces into your look.
