Future-Proof Your Wardrobe: Bold Standout Pieces To Invest In

Sponsored by McArthurGlen.

If you're currently in the process of updating your wardrobe for Summer, then you'll be pleased to know that we've teamed up with designer and high street outlet McArthurGlen Designer Outlets for a six-part series that will bring you the low-down of which trends you need to keep an eye out for.

First up is Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet with 'Future Club', a trend which combines street style with runway chic. Mismatch prints, pops of colour and texture, and standout accessories are all key to nailing this look. And to help you out, we've handpicked a few investment pieces that will ensure you look on-trend, all for a fraction of the price!

Printed Blazers

French Connection, was £135, now £79 at McArthurGlen

If you're going after a chic, yet fashion-forward vibe, then a key piece to invest in is a structured blazer. Patterned clothing is set to be big this Spring, so look for one with monochromatic detailing to ensure you stay ahead of the trend.

Animal Prints

Osprey, was £39, now £24.95 at McArthurGlen

Clashing colours are a sure-fire way to show off your style and confidence. But, if you don't want to mix-and-match too many different hues, then you can always brighten your outfit by adding a statement accessory, like a quirky animal print bag.

Embellished Necklaces

Hobbs, was £59, now £39 at McArthurglen

Heavy detailing and embellishments are other key elements of the 'Future Club' trend. If they can't be worked into your clothing, then accessorise your outfit with a bedazzled, chunky necklace instead.

Striking Heels

Kurt Geiger, was £80, now £55 at McArthurGlen

Nothing says runway chic quite like a pair of sophisticated, slingback heels. To make a real power statement, choose a pair that have noteworthy details, like a pop of colour on the side, or edgy stitching at the front.

Eye-catching Shirts

Belstaff, was £375, now £188 at McArthurGlen

This Spring/Summer, throw a riot of colour and print into the mix by pairing an eye-catching, patterned shirt with some bright trousers - think coral, purple, indigo or lemon hues.

Metallic Jewellery

Jaeger, was £35, now £24 at McArthurGlen

As well as clashing prints and colours, metallics such as silver, gold, bronze and rose gold will be on-trend for Spring/Summer. Work them into your look with a statement bangle or arm cuff.
