IT’S official. The mac is back.

Gone are the days when the macintosh was just saved for those going on a long walk who have packed a waterproof into their backpack for a ‘just in case’ moment, or those people dressing up as Inspector Clouseau for a Pink Panther-themed party.

Now they are back with a vengeance and you will be hard pushed to avoid them down any self-respecting high street.

What I love about this season’s style is they aren’t just the classic sand-coloured look.

You can add a flash of colour to any spring day with such a versatile and classic piece of tailoring.

So, here is a pick of some available in and around Worcester.

City fashion show had something for everyone

I WAS invited to a fashion show at Stripes in Foregate Street, Worcester, last week.

Not only was it a great chance to catch up with some friends, but it was an ideal way to see the season’s latest trends and colours, and try on and buy some really gorgeous clothes.

The show, which was open to the store’s customers, was very refreshing as not only did they use some really gorgeous models of all shapes and ages, but they were friendly and looked great in each and every item they wore.

It made you realise that there is always something out there that can flatter your good bits and hide those not so great parts.
