by Lara Burnell

And just like that, winter's over, which means it's time to make room in your wardrobe for new, fresh outfits. We're convinced every fashion stylist, buyer, and editor is low-key enthusiastic about the upbeat turn fashion is taking this season. It's full of colour and intricate designs, with a throwback to '70s and '80s trends. While the major spring and summer styles have been forecasted, we broke them down a little further to give you insight on what trends have left the building and what trends you're soon to try.

Even if you haven't exactly budgeted for a whole new wardrobe, you don't always have to spend a fortune straight away. A simple update of this seasons It bag or shoe might just do the trick in transforming your outfits. Or maybe it's a small styling tweak like taking your staple button-down shirt and tying it at your waist. Take a look at the five themes below that we've seen come before and are set to be replaced with something new.
