Anti-Trend Setter

Florals have been, and still to this day remain, a staple in spring aesthetics. But this year we’re going against the grain - and in the spirit of championing new mothers, we’re venturing from the safe bet, and putting all of our fashion efforts out into the unfamiliar. Following a winter of wrapping up and toning down, minimalism may seem counter intuitive to the trend-follower or the casual shopper in spring - but that’s what makes it perfect.

It’s understandable to think that stripping it back can come across as boring but it doesn’t have to be that way, it rather aids in taking some of the guess work out of your daily routine, we can still have some fun here. Go bold with colour, go big on jewellery, go wild with your imagination. While florals, when done right, can brighten up the face, compliment the figure, help camoflague the parts of the body that maybe weren’t there before becoming a mum - there’s a fine line between looking spring-fresh and looking, to put it bluntly, dated.

Abra’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection perfectly encapsulates the notion of minimalist style dressing that still exudes that feel-good-factor. Essentially look eight, to the bottom left, is a long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of jeans - though here it’s elevated with statement earrings, a simple shoulder bag and crystalised denim. The styling is simple but still nods to the playfulness of spring all while offering comfort, style and ease. Pair with heels if you’re headed to a bar with friends or trainers if you’re taking it easy - the choice is yours and the possibilities are endless.

Other looks in Abra’s collection this season include; oversized coats, baggy jeans, lots and lots of sparkle, hot pink, silver, ultraviolet green, slouchy polo shirts - and interestingly enough, not a scent of floral.
