Spring Street Style...

Here at 4couture.com we’re very excited about the launch of Harvey Nichols brand new 4th Floor boasting lines from the most cutting edge, contemporary emerging designers, especially the first ever women’s only sneaker wall. Now with celebs like Rihanna and Amber Rose showing us how it’s done, this week we’re having a look at some of the designers featuring on the wall and what to wear with this style of funky footwear. Now street style may seem like a trend that only fashion’s most elite and self-confident can pull off but we want to show you ways that you can integrate a bit of it into your everyday wardrobe.

Creative Recreation is one of the designers whose sneakers have made it on to the wall at Harvey Nics. Their line of hi-tops is absolutely stunning and is sure to be a hit for any shoe-loving girl (see left). You may be thinking that you can’t carry these off but with the right outfit you really can look stylish. Another designer designer whose new collection is full of pieces that ooze street style is Temperley London, they have some really easy to wear pieces that will go perfectly with sneakers and hi-tops and lots of pieces from the collection are available at http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Temperley_London also in store at Harvey Nichols. We’re absolutely loving these Temperley zebra print harem pants (see right) which would go well with a pair of black or gold hi-tops. The Alice by Temperley collection also has some stunning new pieces, this jumpsuit is so lovely for £240 on Net-A-Porter, a definite must have (see below left). They’ve also got this jersey parka which would go with everything and can really be worn by anyone! (See below right), http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Alice_by_Temperley.

Keds for Opening Ceremony is another footwear collection that is available, (see right), their sneakers are so much fun and provide the perfect transition from winter into summer. They provide a slightly more relaxed look and would go perfect with a bleached jeans and a trench-style jacket combo. Check out this amazing “Mister Magic” jacket, (see below left), available at http://www.frenchconnection.com/product/Woman+New+In/75AF3/Mister+Magic+Jacket.htm.
French Connection have also got this easy to wear jumpsuit which is on trend this season and will go perfectly with sneakers for a laid-back look which will last you all the way from now until the end of the summer. Pick one up at http://www.frenchconnection.com/product/Woman+Collections+Playsuits/7GAA3/Killer+Silk+All+In+One.htm, (see right).

There are so many designers boasting street style collections at the moment that there really is no excuse not to take a risk and try something new, I can guarantee it is such an easy look to pull off and you will not only look great but you will feel so comfortable out of those heels! Hi-tops and sneakers are going to be a massive trend from spring into summer so get a head start on everyone else. As ever, pop onto www.asos.com and have a look, they’ve got some lovely new pieces that fit right into this trend and also check out www.mango.com and www.my-wardrobe.com, especially the new collection from Acne.

This trend is all about having fun with what you wear so make sure you do and let me know how you get on via Twitter at www.twitter.com/4couture.
