comes naturally with La Redoute

It’s not a myth. Nature is one of the main catalysts of wonder and awe. Have you been feeling a little down lately? Not surprising, since many of us are in unnatural surroundings, sitting in front of computers or under fluorescent lights at work. Research shows that spending time outdoors reduces stress and mental fatigue, while nature’s colours enhance serenity. Let’s escape into the wild with colours, prints, cuts and combinations by La Redoute, gifted by Mother Earth.

Quarantine times showed us how important it is to return to the essence. As we walked half the planet earth, we recharged our batteries and sought connection in nature. No wonder that one of this season’s fashion trends is the great outdoors. Nature is literally built into our identity.

4 key nature fashion trends

• Colours au naturel : Colour therapy states that green is a balancing colour, in the middle of the visible spectrum. It represents harmony and can have a very therapeutic effect in times of stress. From grass green to khaki, opt for dopamine dressing with colours that put you in the right vibe. Go back to basics with earth tones and brown hues, such as camel and chestnut. Stand out in nature’s colours by blending in.

• Garden looks : A little secret? You don’t actually have to be a gardener to dress like one. Forget about your gerberas and style yourself instead of your garden. Functional pieces, short skirts, high-waisted shorts and checkered patterns like gingham give you that ‘ready-for-good-weather’ look. Bring in the spring garden parties and summer vibes!

• Floral fest : Nature’s prints are real mood boosters. Flowers, tropical prints and exotic patterns bring out your feminine side. Fancy a long floral dress or skirt? Top it off with a sturdy pair of boots or cool sneakers for a bolder look. A short dress or a jumpsuit with a flower power print goes best with a pair of empowering high heels or elegant sandals.

• Straight from the meadow : Spring is calling. Wrap yourself in all the softness that nature has to offer: comfortable fabrics and soft linen in creamy colours like mint green, Spanish pink or misty rose.
