| The Elizabethan Look |
Ruffles, puffed sleeves, embellishment and embroidery, Elizabethan Chic is having a moment. The traditional colour palette is quite muted, but the high street is packed with spring brights alongside classic champagne shades. Lace pieces like Karen Millen's scalloped edged jacket ate the simplest way to work the trend and can be teamed with skirts, shorts or skinnies. For an original twist, vintage shops are bursting with high-necked ruffle front blouses, which are the perfect way to get an authentic look. Just remember to channel black adder and you're there.
Black lace jacket, £199, Karen Millen
Ruffle playsuit, £38, Miss Selfridge
