Ask our fashion editors, and they'll probably say their favourite part is finally being able to get their hands on the major SS '17 trends they witnessed six months ago at fashion week. If you needed help with rejigging your wardrobe within a budget, here's everything you can wear right now.   

FRILLS ATTACHED

Play up your feminine side in flamenco-inspired tiers and ruffles. For a modern update, master the art of layering ruffled tulle skirts over pants, before pairing them with cowboy boots. Frills seekers, rejoice.

FABRIC FRENZY

Long associated with Wall Street patrons, shirting fabric takes on a new life this summer. Opt for an asymmetrical ruffled skirt and a deconstructed shirt for an unexpected take on the trend.

FULL BLOOM

Fashion's favourite florals can be tricky to style if a fresh spin is what you're looking for. Our suggestion? Mix athleisure with androgynous silhouettes to wear this trend more often. Ditsy floral prints will win you brownie points.

COLOUR PLAY

Still not ready to switch to an all-pink wardrobe? Start by opting for warmer shades of red, orange and yellow. Slide into basic-yet-elevated sandals to balance the strong impact of the sunset hues.

DENIM DAZE 

If you want to embrace denim's versatility in a temperate manner, then take note: give your regular denim a contemporary turn by mixing different textures (patch-worked, fringed, embroidered). Keep the accessories simple to your novelty pieces.

SQUARE DANCE

The fresh combination of gingham and stripes offers a grown-up take on pattern play. Think retro checks and bold, modern stripes. Ditch the schoolgirl appeal and opt for voluminous day wear separates. For that extra punch, make sneakers your friends.
