A little luxury to brighten our days

THE trend for luxury fabrics styled for comfortable wear continues into spring and summer with anything from silk and chiffon blouses to soft silk dresses and tunics. This is a look that can't be overdone and a little definitely goes a long way. Mix more luxurious fabrics with denim or linen to tone things down. Go for casual chic and veer away from all out Dallas. Keep accessories simple if it's something like a silk dress with embellishments or bling it up a little with some gold if choosing a plain coloured top. Don't forget to keep cover-ups interesting as the weather warms up. There are loads of great macs and blazers in shops at the moment to keep out the chill. These don't have to be left plain, add a brooch or spring scarf to individualise the outfit. - Siobhán.
