Yes, the catwalk is the traditional way to garner what’s set to hit the shelves this season. But every fashion month, photographers become further encapsulated by what’s happening outside of the shows instead.
Be it New York, London, Milan or Paris - bloggers, fashion influencers and FROW favourites from far and wide don their finest clobber in honour of the biggest event in the calendar.
So take sartorial inspiration from the street style set this season as we round up the trends you need on your radar next time you hit the shops.
From piled-up pearls to pastel hued suits, these are the cult items you need to add to your wish list, asap:
1. Pearls
Pile on the pearls this SS17. They're fashion's new No.1 gem.
2. Animal print
The new neutral goes from strength to strength - we love this version from & Other Stories.
3. White shoes
White shoes are now officially normcore. If you haven't already taken the plunge, it's time to dive in.
4. Wrap it up
Simple but effective - tie your silk scarf around your bag handle or your wrist, in your hair or round your neck. Endless chic options!
5. Spring suits
Your new spring uniform should include a pastel suit - wedding not needed.
6. XXL sleeves
Wear your statement sleeves with tailored trousers and kitten heels for a great modern take on workwear.
7. Clashing prints
Smash and grab big, bold prints.
8. Cool combo
Track pants are still A Thing. This season, pair them with your backless loafers, for an effortlessly cool look.
9. Stripes
The stripe is back - pin thin to deckchair, they look as fresh as spring.
