The revival of tonal shades and all the hues in-between isn’t surprising considering we’re in the thick of winter. Yes, trench coats and argyle jumpers are thriving but our wardrobe rotation pretty much consists of muted colours that have started to blur into one.

Of course, it’s easy to get tired of repetition. And yes, we long for a spicier concoction to strut around in. That being said, it’s hard to fathom how to fashion-up a new fit with your favourite roll neck from two seasons ago that you’ve got a serious attachment to.

Catapulting the trend into new territory can cause a conundrum and yet the fashion sphere have managed to overturn our slight distaste for the overdone palette. A great reference point? Copenhagen stylist Pernille Teisbaek’s refreshing black and beige coupling. A surprising union, but a great one nevertheless. Dark florals have permeated our minds and have now solidified their status as a mainstay this spring. Their inky descent crept up on us – swift, yet welcome – and designers embraced the blooming print. Brit designer Richard Quinn catered to our covert desire for dusky botanicals during AW19 with ‘80s inspired puffed-sleeve mini dresses and head-to-toe outfits boasting fitted turtlenecks with graphic print leggings.

With spring on the horizon, another seasonal dilemma presents itself: how can we make beige less ‘boring’? Well, a bevy of women on our feed have steadily catapulted tonal colours and florals back to the forefront of our minds through various innovative sartorial choices.

Why not tackle both beige and floral this spring? The duo are causing a ruckus on the runway (hello, Givenchy couture 2020) and we can’t scroll five minutes on our feed without seeing some sort of blossoming print. 

Here, we round up a few stylish women relishing in the trends with aplomb. Look no further for your SS20 mood board inspiration…

1) Florals never steer us wrong

Florals are here for the long haul. How are we delving into the trend? By layering with Peter Pan collared shirts for a preppy element and finishing with a trusty trench coat to tide us over this season. Michelle Salem nails florals with an even mix of edge, (ahem, we see you metallic belt) offsetting the look with a sweet peter pan shirt. We’d suggest going for drop earrings for full evening glamour.

2) Cosy knitwear can always be made edgy

The inherently stylish Alyssa Coscarelli keeps it cool and sleek (as per usual) by slipping on a chunky zip detail knit with a muted shoulder bag. However, what we really love about this look? Her inclusion of leather trousers, which makes for a cool juxtaposition. 

3) We never knew we needed this duo until now

When in doubt, thrown on a statement cardi with this season’s most viral shoe: the lug-sole boot. These Bottega Veneta boots are the ideal dreamy silhouette we can envision wearing all year long.
