Building on the success of last year’s rebranding campaign and featuring model agency boss Alison Campbell and former Miss Northern Ireland Joanne Salley, Menarys is stepping into spring with an action-packed programme across its stores.

To officially launch the new collections, Joanne Salley donned a range of stylish outfits that have just arrived in Menarys Coleraine.

The new look Menarys welcomes top brands Vila, Esprit, Desigual and Jackpot to its spring collection. Vibrant fashions, luxury brands and chic accessories are ready to complete any look and personal stylists will be on hand to give shoppers expert tips.

Sandra Hayes, Store Manager of Menarys Coleraine. said smart dresses and skirts are must haves this season, but called on ladies to experiment with some stunning new styles.

“Fashion designers have given us all kind of fun fashions offering wonderful vivid prints, stripes, and geometric prints. The main theme will be somewhat tailored and classic but with a touch of edginess. This spring and summer you will find yourself wrapped in heavenly fabrics, adorned with fabulous vivid colour, as well as soft neutrals. Look again this spring to seeing lace, and floral prints on the racks. Katharine Hepburn’s timeless influence as always still reigns. You will continue to see tailored blazers and cute fitted cardigans,” Sandra added.

Spring is closer than we think. Why not get a jump start on the hottest looks with a few helpful pointers? Thanks to Menarys, we have the best tips for looking chic this season!

It’s all about Pink! From accessories, to fashion, to rose blush on your cheeks, this spring calls for a flush of soft rose to complete your look.

Flash of Colour: Add a pop of colour! Bright red dress, or a turquoise fashion ring? These little touches of color will add drama to any ordinary look!

Prints: Yes, prints are back. Exciting flower-print dresses spell out spring! More dramatic print patterns are also gaining a lot of attention. No print is over the top!

Vintage and Modern: A trendy look this spring is pairing modern pieces with vintage ones! Match a chic beige blazer with a chunky vintage-looking pendent necklace, and your favorite skinny jeans!

Aim for Minimalism: Less is more, really. Make-up-wise, simple is best. Pair sheer eye shadow with a light pink lip gloss. Line only the top upper corner of your eyelids. This spring it’s about elegance, with simple, pretty dresses, white laces and to-the-point clutches.

Stripes: Stripes seem to hold a place in fashion year after year. You can’t go wrong wearing stripes, from head to toe.
