Trending: The Cosmos!

It started with leggings and now cosmic print is starting to seep into the high street in all shapes and forms!

The print can be a bit daring so I would advise pairing it with other pieces not so daring, perhaps colour block or monochrome: thus making your statement piece your cosmos.

One shop that is loving the print is Topshop with all sorts of tees, skirts and leggings on offer; but search the high street for a piece that suits your shape and colouring as now the monochrome stars aren't the only ones on offer...

Prices: 1. Purple cosmic print tube skirt £28.00, 2. Orange pleated galaxy skirt £15.00, 3. Pink space print midi tube dress £25.00, 4. Dress £59.99, 5. Cosmic tee by Tee and Cake £25.00, 6. Black galaxy print leggings, 7. Te Amo pink galaxy print blazer £24.99
