London Fashion Week is back and more importantly so is Britain’s Plus Size Fashion Weekend (BPSFW). 2013 saw the initial launch of the event, the first of its kind. And as a result of its success and popularity, it’s back and has grown since last year.
Held in London from 14th – 15th February, BPSFW is an amazing event specifically designed for normal women. It breaks convention, revolutionising fashion with a catwalk that caters to the average British woman’s dress size.
Encouraging women of all figures to embrace their curves and style confidence, we love the direction that fashion’s taking. To celebrate the return of BPSFW, here are the street chic staples we expect to see during the event.
Sports Luxe
Sports luxe is a cool, casual trend that’s perfect for spring 2014. Think lazy weekend loungewear with a touch of glamour. Like this Hooded Gilet. Before, this gilet would have been saved for walking the dog or Saturday shopping. Now, paired with printed harem pants and a sweet long sleeved silk blouse, you’ll achieve sports luxe in an instant.
It’s a trend of contrasts, providing comfort and style at the same time. If you miss the cosiness of Christmas, this is the perfect look to ease you into spring.
Love sports luxe? Take the next step and finish your outfit with a cute pair of courts. It looks great on the catwalk and would definitely make a statement.
Colour Pop
Street chic is defined by its unconventionality and standout style. Forget about plain tees and springtime pastels and embrace the bold side of fashion with colour pop. We love this Classic Single Breasted Coat. It’s a coat that speaks for itself and requires minimal effort to look fabulous.
You could wear all black (leggings and tunic) and still have heads turning with this gorgeous red coat. It’s pretty chilly outside, so treat yourself to a pretty colour pop coat.
Preppy
Preppy outfits are timeless. They’re great for night outs and the 9 to 5. Picture smart trousers, crisp shirts and checked skirts that scream class and sophistication. On the streets of London, we’ve no doubt you’ll spot a preppy combination or two.
Check out these Cropped Checked Trousers for a pretty street chic look. Their minimal colour and cut makes them a stunning transition piece from day to night. Couple with a casual tee and converse in the day, and heels and a blouse at night. That’s the preppy look complete.
These are street chic styles we love for spring/ summer 2014. What trend will you be wearing?
