Although rainy season has well and truly arrived in Abuja, we can't shake that Spring-Summer feeling. It's not just affecting our moods with a sunnier hue but our wardrobes too! Below are five Spring Summer trends of 2013 we absolutely love and you can incorporate into your wardrobe. Just because we live in Abuja doesn't mean we can't be in trend...right?

A Linear Affair

There’s nothing that embraces the contours of a woman quite like stripes. Vertical horizontal or symmetrical, we love them long, lean, monochrome or rainbow colored. Stripes of all types are where it’s at fashion wise this Spring. Far from boring this Peter Pilotto dress is allergic to straight lines opting rather for something more colorfully adventurous.

Back to Black

Although it’s sunny outside we prefer to stay in the cool darkness with this Summer trend. It’s all about the light texture of the black fabric that keeps you cool during hot Abuja afternoons. This Christian Dior black summer dress is a perfect example of the classic Little Black Dress for daytime. The new black is well…black.

Snow White

White and Summer go together like white on rice. It’s the perfect hue for sweltering hot summer days spent outdoors. Elegant, pristine and regal, this trend is the best treatment for a wardrobe overhaul to something simpler. This Valentino lace dress proves that if done well, white can be a show stopper.

Shine Bright

Let your inner light shine through in metallic-like surfaces that glint in the sunlight. Like Magpies, if it don’t shine, we are simply not interested. This trend takes its inspiration from precious metals like gold, silver, diamonds and emeralds, but lucky for us we can wear it all over. Burbbery Porsum allows us to shine bright like a diamond in glitteringly glamorous dresses like the one above.

Blossoming Bouquets

Flowers always bloom in Spring and sure enough their blooming up and down the Spring-Summer runways inspiring Fashionistas around the globe to transform their summer wardrobes into decadent fabric gardens. These textured Dolce and Gabana 3D floral print dresses were simply breathtaking, inspiring us to add a bit of floral to our outfits this Summer.
