As the wattle blooms and the weather warms, many of us are looking to give our fashion wardrobes a big (but budget-friendly) refresh. That’s why we’ve got fashion stylist Jessica Allen (@jessica.louise.allen) on board to show us two seasonal trends and how to style them.

Trend #1 Bold Matching Sets

Matching sets continue to make a bold statement and dominate spring fashion. So you can’t go wrong with a colourful linen set from TK Maxx or Connor– to use as an accent for your bold new look. Next up, you’ll need a few statement accessories, like a pair of oversized hoop earrings from Prouds, and moulded sandals from Spendless Shoes.

These raffia pieces are must-haves – as they add a nice, natural and earthy touch to any outfit. To complete the look, shop for some classic brown sunglasses and a neutral-coloured watch from TK Maxx.

This eye-catching outfit combines comfort and style, making it ideal for those sunny spring days.

Trend #2 Transeasonal Pieces

Transeasonal pieces are also incredibly popular during the warmer seasons due to their functional and fashionable nature. Here’s an outfit that seamlessly takes you from one place to another – without a fuss ...

For your base layer, start with a pair of white straight leg jeans from Just Jeans and a white tank top from TK Maxx. Then add a blue long sleeve boyfriend shirt from Lowes - for a fresh pop of colour.

Sleek, black accessories will help elevate the look so get a black belt, a statement tote bag and some classic double strap sandals from TK Maxx. Tie this spring ensemble together with a touch of polish – using a pair of gold-plated studs and a layered necklace from Prouds.

These two on-trend and budget-conscious outfits are guaranteed to have you feeling confident throughout the spring/summer seasons.
