Some exciting items have made their way down the Spring/Summer runway and if we’re taking these designer’s fashion cues then expect to see plenty of oversized coats, see-through dresses, denim on denim, bare shoulders and 90′s inspired graphic tees this season.
Here are some ready-to-wear looks inspired by the most popular items on the catwalk this spring and summer.

While it may not look so cute on the rack, you may not want to take it off once you put it on! Combine a fresh white oversized coat with a delicate crop top and shorts outfit for an airy spring look.

Rihanna called and she wants her dress back! The pop star usually goes bare underneath but for the rest of us mere mortals, a crochet dress like this makes a perfect on-trend cover up at the beach! We’ve picked three neutral versions that would look totally cute with a bright coloured bathing suit underneath.

There are do’s and don’ts for pulling off the Canadian tuxedo but this definitely falls under “Please do!” Light blue, distressed denim with light colours underneath flow well and won’t leave you looking like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards.

The two-piece! You’ve probably seen it in stores and all over Instagram and we don’t expect to see any less of it as the weather gets warmer. If the graphic print above is a little out of your comfort zone, go monochrome with a simple black crop top and a striped black and white skirt. Pair the basic two-piece with statement heels for the night time, or go simple during the day with a pair of Vans.
