Have you met Gym?! No, me neither! As we slide into summer look gym ready in classic sportswear items. Whether lounging around or actually doing something, heaven forbid, team with coloured lenses and a fun baseball cap for a cool geeky look.

Milan gave us handbags, more shiny coats and reasons to look like a tourist. Here goes AW18:
Handbags
Ooooo, look at you! Bags have been getting smaller, so we may as well call a spade a spade.

The future is wipe clean and the quicker you get your head around this, the better.

Diagonal Stripes
Like a walking 70s airline logo.

Distorted Stripes
This could be one of my favourite trends of the season. Not blurred lines, but distorted ones.

The new caping.

Tourist
Nothing wrong with looking like a tourist in AW18. The worst the better. Just don't look up!

Blanket Coat
Any blanket looking design cut into a coat or simply just thrown over your shoulders.

Coloured Lenses
Fear & Loathing lenses. I wore these all last Summer and they ain't going anywhere.

It’s not gone Pete Tong, it’s gone Judge Jules! You don’t get more 90s than a pair of yellow lensed wraparound sunglasses.
I first saw these Gosha Rubchinskiy X Retrosuperfuture collaboration sunglasses at the CIFF tradeshow in Copenhagen in January. They were just about to be released. And, while they’ve sold out, the image stuck with me. There’s something disconcertingly bad about them, yet still fresh.
Style icons, the term used very loosely, such as Bono or Eyeball Paul spring to mind. I expect a lot of the sunglasses companies to start making similar styles for SS18. Lookout for bug-eye shapes and light coloured lenses.
