May Style Edit: Fashion Trends to Bloom In

May is the month to refresh, reset, and revamp your wardrobe! With the warmer weather teasing us with sunshine and spring socials on the rise, it’s the perfect excuse to step out in style. From pops of pastel to retro revivals, we’ve spotted the must-have looks landing in stores and the best bit? You can get your whole spring/summer look sorted right here at Wellington Shopping Centre.

1. Soft Pastels & Sorbet Shades

Think peach, pistachio, lilac, and lemon, soft, dreamy colours are everywhere right now, and they’re surprisingly easy to wear. River Island has absolutely nailed it this season, with floaty blouses, wide-leg trousers, and matching co-ords in every pastel under the sun. Try pairing a pale yellow blazer with white denim for a crisp, sunshine-ready vibe.

Style Tip: Pastels don’t have to be girly. Balance soft hues with bold accessories or structured tailoring for an edge.

2. Sporty Spice: Athleisure Gets an Upgrade

Athleisure is still having a moment and JD has everything you need to blend comfort with cool. Think branded cycling shorts, oversized tees, cropped hoodies, and the return of the classic Adidas three-stripe look. Whether you’re gym-bound or brunching, the “effortless sporty” aesthetic works all day long.

Look Out For: Retro trainers and statement socks. It’s all in the details!

3. Statement Accessories from Claire’s

Accessories are going maximal again! Chunky rings, layered necklaces, pearl hair clips, and beaded everything. Claire’s is your go-to for playful pops of colour that turn any outfit from simple to standout. Expect to see butterfly clips, retro scrunchies, and bold resin jewellery making a major comeback this month.

Hot Trend: Personalised pieces! Think initial pendants, name necklaces, and zodiac charms.

4. Glowing Skin & Bold Beauty

Fashion isn’t just about what you wear,  it’s how you finish the look. At Superdrug, the shelves are full of fresh drops in glowy, dewy makeup, lip oils, and skin tints. Think “clean girl aesthetic” meets festival fun. For May, we’re loving coral blush, glossed-up lips, and pastel liner for a playful twist.

Beauty Buy to Try: A shimmery body mist or highlighting balm to give skin that just-back-from-holiday glow — no boarding pass required.

5. Mini Bags & Mega Confidence

Mini shoulder bags are back in a big way, and you’ll find some gorgeous options in River Island perfect for holding your essentials without weighing you down. Pair with wide sunglasses and you’ve got a very “It Girl in Spring” feel.
