Trend of the week

INSPIRATION

The archetypal bad boy staple is re-imagined for spring/summer with a sweeter twist.

Think sugar spice and everything nice like Jason Wu’s streamlined soft pink offerings and Carven’s lilac biker beauty.

More of a traditionalist?

Fear not. Mulberry’s oversized take on modern utility should fit the bill.

STYLE NOTES

Do downtown glamour with a white tee, love-worn jeans: skinny and sharp stiletto.

Feeling brave? Pair your jacket with a cropped top and circle skirt for a modern take on fifties flare.

Deviate from classic black leather with sweet sorbet shades like candy floss pink, lilac and lemon yellow.

Bit of a softie?

Suede, cotton and boucle wool offer easier options to tough leather.
