Go Fish – Edgy and slightly sensual, fishnet has taken over runways recently – but not in the way you might think. Rather than fishnet stockings, we’re talking full-on layers of netting in the form of embellished dresses, skirts, shirts, swimsuit cover-ups and even handbags and shoes. Of course, it’s perfect for the spring/summer season: with all the nets, ropes and knots evoking a nautical feel, who can help but think of beaches and sunny days by the sea? Look for hand-woven, crocheted or macramé garments with flirty fringes – and just enough peek-a-boo transparency to highlight the female silhouette. [Photos left to right: Asos, Net-A-Porter, Zara]

Neon Brights – Blue skies and outdoor fun: spring and summer put everyone in a good mood. Shouldn’t your wardrobe reflect your sunny disposition? Bright neon colours are more fashionable this season than ever, with megawatt shades of yellow, red and orange taking over the collections of top designers. We also expect to see plenty of lime green and hot pink; embrace this exuberant trend, pairing your neon shirts, dresses, skirts and trousers with garments in more neutral tones to balance the look.

Pedal Power – Not long ago, if you wore biker shorts anywhere but, well, on your bike, everyone would assume you’d forgotten to do laundry. Now, however, in a throwback to ‘90s casual style (Princess Diana was known to sport the look), cycling shorts have made an appearance on catwalks and Kardashians, and are being hailed as a major – if not controversial – 2019 trend. Wear them in black or bright colours; style them sporty or chic; get them in spandex, neoprene and even denim. Whatever you do, combine them with light, loose-fitting garments like blazers and blouses. [Photos left to right: H&M, Nordstrom, Net-A-Porter]

Groovy, Baby – Tastemakers love to rummage in the annals of fashion history to come up with the trends of today. Hence the return of tie-dye. A nod to 1960s free love and hippie culture, we saw tie-dye dresses, skirts, blouses, blazers and more on the runways of Prada and Stella McCartney – and are sure to see the trend hit the high street very soon. When combining, pair with garments in the same colour palette as the tie-dye pattern. [Photos left to right: Mango, Asos, Stradivarius]

Go Wild – Like a cheetah on the hunt, the animal print trend shows no sign of slowing down. And what better time than spring/summer to show some “skin”? Fashionable prints are mimicking the look of snake, zebra and even cow hide, with an added seasonal twist: bright colour palettes. If animal prints in look-at-me shades are too much for you, you can still wear the trend in more classic animal print colours. [Photos left to right: Asos, Topshop, Zalando]

On The Dot – Another classic pattern making the rounds again, polka dots – especially in sophisticated black and white prints – are out in full force. Feminine and fresh, polka dots are a perfect fit for spring dresses, skirts and blouses. In the collections of Dolce & Gabbana, Kenzo, Carolina Herrera and Max Mara, polka dots featured on full-body looks, like one-piece jumpsuits and maxi dresses. Play with the look by mixing polka dots with other chic prints. [Photos left to right: Asos, Topshop, Bershka]

It’s A Cinch – Of course, nothing is more feminine than accentuating your natural curves, and this season, framing the silhouette and defining the waist is a recurring theme. Go for high-waisted or paper-bag-style trousers, pencil skirts and wide belts around seasonal dresses. In fact, why not take this opportunity to try the trend of the moment: belt bags?

Ruffled Up – Another trend that brings femininity and a touch of romance to any outfit, ruffles are everywhere this season, from dresses to skirts and blouses. But choose your ruffles carefully: take into account the overall amount of ruffles of the garment, as they can add a lot of volume. [Photos left to right: Nordstrom, Mango, Net-a-Porter]

Nothing But Neutral – Not everything in spring and summer has to be colourful and flowery, so balance your wardrobe by embracing the full-on neutral trend every now and then. Simple yet elegant. Take out your best black suit, dress all in white or pull together a complete look in varying tones of beige: these next months, head-to-toe looks in neutral and earthy tones will be the way to go.

Fringes & Feathers – Treat every day like a 1920s cocktail party! Add a touch of glamour to your wardrobe with dresses, blouses, tops and even trousers flaunting fringes and feather details, which bring lightness and elegance to vibrant looks for day or night. Don’t dare to wear the look just yet? Opt for more subtle accents, such as fringed accessories or feather appliqués on the sleeves a blouse. You’ve got nothing to lose – except your hesitance.
