Spring is so close we could almost reach out and touch it, but is your wardrobe ready? This year’s SS18 catwalks were packed with so many stunning trends that it’s almost impossible to sum them all up, so we won’t try. Instead we have picked out some of our favourite SS18 trends to share with you, so you can get your wardrobe ready for the season ahead.
Here are the top looks to look for in SS18:
While those soft ice cream sundae pastels may not be a groundbreaking trend for spring time, there’s no denying they’re special. The SS18 catwalks were seriously pastel-pretty; Victoria Beckham showed head-to-toe violet, Hermés styled lemon sorbet suits, Tom Ford went pastel pink and we even got a sprinkle of pistachio green from the Sies Marjan collection. The best thing about pastels is that they’re so easy to style for spring, and you can layer several shades together for the ultimate on-trend effect.

The mac is back and it’s more fabulous than ever. The classic trench coat has been seeing a lot of catwalk action and has rocketed into the upper echelons of every SS18 trends list. So much more than just an outerwear necessity, the trench coat has been transformed into a style sensation by the big fashion houses, with embroidery, chopped-up lines and bright colours galore. A well-styled trench coat can become an outfit all on its own, especially when paired with chunky high heeled boots for a leggy, streamlined effect.
If you love a good trench but you’re more of a traditionalist, there’s a great middle ground option: boutique designer trench coats. Our latest season collection features some fabulous classic trench designs with traditional lines and elegant colours that let you rock this spring trend without the catwalk price tag.

Sports-inspired fashion design is yet to tire, and this year’s SS18 catwalks have been teaming with athletic looks. Most notable was the Marc Jacobs collection, which combined luxury leather with retro sports styles reminiscent of brightly-coloured 80s. High top sneakers, bum bags, joggers, shell suits and sweaters are all well and truly back in fashion, and it’s one of the most enjoyable looks to wear.
Athletic looks are great for transitioning from spring to summer, with so many lightweight layering options to choose from. And we’ve got great news, you can find a great selection of retro sport styles right here at Stanwells. Shop the trend:

Spring fashion for women usually involves a pair of shorts or two, but SS18 trends are not showing just the traditional super short shorts of yesteryear. Instead the catwalks have been filled with the returning safari shorts, preppy shorts, gym shorts and even cycling shorts. So forget the mini skirts and dresses, it looks like you’ll be spending spring and summer in your shorts this year, which is great news if you’re a fan of the casual end of the wardrobe spectrum.

The polished, dark denim of circa 2000 fashion is back, with the likes of Tom Ford, Nina Ricci and Versus Versace showing a variety of outfits styled in this long absent denim shade. After quite the hiatus, the catwalks are welcoming this unexpected return and the trend is spreading like wildfire. So easy to wear for all of your off-duty looks, dark denim can be mixed and matched with practically anything, and it’s even acceptable to double-denim the look.
However you want to style it, you can find a variety of dark denim jean styles right here at Stanwells, so you can kick off your season with one of the easiest-to-style SS18 trends.
