Spring is here: it’s time to be flirtatious and free. What better way than rising hemlines with the return of the mini or body confidence in the form of the fitted silhouette? The final touch: a bold pop of colour to lift your inner girl power.

Gain legs literally, by working the micro mini. Call it Y2K a second time around, but more sleeker and more spirited. Team it up with a tube top and add the sparkling nipple-covered string bikini top by designer newcomer Kourh.

SONATA TOP, BIANCA SPENDER, SHOP NOW. GRID PINTUCK SKIRT, AAIZEL, SHOP SIMILAR. MODERNIST LOAFERS, ST. AGNI, SHOP SIMILAR
Baring your shoulders isn’t limited to youth. I love this off the shoulder top with billowing sleeves by Bianca Spender. It’s perennially chic and better still, very practical. Wear it with a floor skimming skirt for an evening event or pair it up with skinny pants for the ultimate in sleek attire.

DRESS, SHOP SIMILAR, JACKET, SHOP SIMILAR, FENDI BY VERSACE
This autumn season we saw Fendi and Versace swap creative roles to create Fendace. It was very clever indeed thanks to a trio of designer legends; Donatella Versace, Silvia Venturini Fendi and Kim Jones. Now you can get the best of both iconic Italian brands – I particularly love the classic Fendi LBD stitched together with the Versace gold safety pins as seen here. And don’t forget the Medusa motif print to relive the 90s club scene for today.

I like the option to turn my mini tunic dresses into a maxi floor length ensemble by layering it with a wide leg pant. It still gives a striking silhouette, and sometimes more is less when it comes to exposure.

BLAZER, SHOP SIMILAR, SKIRT, SHOP SIMILAR, HEELS, SHOP SIMILAR, LARGE CUT OUT BAG IN BOX LEATHER WITH CHAIN, SHOP SIMILAR, GIVENCHY
Keeping versatility in mind, there’s a mini for all occasions and style levels. Like this tuxedo mini suit set by Givenchy which you can team with flirty heels if you’re channeling “Emily in Paris”. Personally, I’d take the bohemian left bank approach and work in a pair of slouchy boots. A geo-cut shaped handbag in the prettiest pastel blue is a fresh approach to an all black attire.
