Happy New Year

Despite claiming to abhor the hippie-dippy nonsense that the 70's trend tends to evoke, we find ourselves here at RF HQ – you know that spatial plane floating somewhere between London and San Francisco where all Lil’ Wayne and unicorn communication happens – thinking about the Spring Equinox. Don’t be alarmed, you’re unlikely to find either of us prancing around a forest getting in touch with nature, we still have more than enough shade to throw. However, call us crazy, you won’t be the first (Brandon and Jennie, we’re looking at you two), but for us the New Year begins not on the first of January as everyone would have you believe, but on the first day of Spring. Wait! Hear us out, if Spring’s mascots of lambs, chicks and flowers aren't living metaphors for new beginnings, then we don’t know what is.

The advent of Spring feels like a much more sound time of year to make New Years resolutions. At least there is a glimmer of hope that you will actually keep them. But more important than fixing bad habits, Spring is the time for trying new things, both generally and sartorially.

With no intention of trying bungee jumping or anything like that, here are the some of the Spring trends that we are going to sink our teeth into:

Flares (the cropped ones if we can get our grubby mitts on them)

Seen at Celine and Calvin Klein 

We love these cropped flares from Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and Zara. 

Denim for Days

Seen at Fendi and Stella McCartney 

A playsuit is an easy way to wear this trend:

Denim delights from SEA and Zara respectively. 

White Hot

Seen at Erdem and Joseph

Simple Spring dresses from MiH Jeans and Topshop Boutique.
