Verve shows you how to wear the season's hottest trends

SPORTY CHIC
With its comfortable cuts and cool silhouettes, sporty chic is shaping up to be one of spring's key looks. Think collarless shirt dresses with a sporty side stripe, sequinned hoodies and tailored shorts, cropped leggings teamed with tunics, outsize anoraks and parka dresses. One of the most talked about elements of the sporty chic trend is the distinctively fashionable footwear. From Dries Van Noten's heeled tennis shoes and laced-up white pumps to Donna Karan's snakeskin trainer wedges. To complete this look, don't forget the final touch of smoothing your hair into a tight bun or adorning your tresses with a preppy designer hair band. Don't walk, run to achieve this unique 'country club-meets-stylish shopaholic' trend.

YELLOW
Bring a ray of sunshine into your spring wardrobe with the colour yellow, this season's hot trend that tops the must-have fashion list. Eye-catching and bold, this is a look that has been spotted in a lot of creative variations on the runway. These show stoppers include flattering bias-cut, flirty yellow dresses by Diane Von Furstenberg, dazzling yellow retro styles by Gayatri Khanna and glam ensembles by the ever sensational Dolce & Gabbana. You can opt for a more subtle look by accessorising with just a splash of yellow in the form of chic banana-yellow Dior pumps or a mustard-yellow Prada handbag. Also try headbands, jewellery and belts in different yellow tones to add that extra bit of oomph to your outfit. This season yellow is back and it's better than ever.
