Buyer’s pick courtesy of Lizzie!

By The Buying Team in Top Picks, Trends, Womenswear on Wednesday 7th July, 2010

Hi, I’m Lizzie, one of the buyers here at Tesco. As a buyer my job entails sourcing the right products, at the right time, and at the right prices for you!

I look at key trends, fabrics, prints and colours, making sure we get the best pieces instore and online for you, our customers.

Lets talk trends…Prints are always a key trend for Spring/Summer, nothing says summer like patterns and prints, and it’s an ideal way to show off your tan! Floral prints were heavily featured on the runway this year, especially during Milan Fashion Week. If you like earthy tones and exotic influences then this trend is the one is for you. Tribal prints are very big currently with their colour and  fun nature they’re very wearable. If you needed any more convincing, the late Alexander McQueen had a beautiful, futuristic print-heavy collection for Summer which proves that prints are one look too hot to miss this summer. But remember, this doesn’t mean you need to wear prints head to toe. Work them in to your wardrobe subtly with a floral cardigan or tribal summer dress.

In honour of all things print, here are my top 5 picks from the site:
