This spring is bursting with lots of fabulous trends, and there's something to suit everyone. Here are the main trends and how to wear them...
Bold colour and asymmetric patterns
Block colours are a big story this spring and summer. They were all over the fashion shows and they're great for getting rid of the dull and dreary winter blues. Influenced by the '60s, the asymmetric trend features bold blocks of colour and striking colour combinations.

Iam enjoying my faux sherling coat by centigrade item no 141 349 so much I wondered if Glen would think it was possible if I bought another one to cut it to make it into a thigh length jacket

I love to be trendy and like the bold colours and patterns of the Tiana B dresses, but at 73 years old I haven't the legs now to wear short clothes. What can I do about the bottom half??
