After more than a year of sweatsuits, loungewear and decidedly more relaxed wardrobe choices, what fashion may look like this spring and beyond is a bit of a mystery.
As we emerge from what has been, for many, a very long and monotonous winter at home, will our preference for comfortable, stretchy clothes continue unabated? Or will we be more than ready to dress up again and to stock up on cheery colours and statement-making combinations in anticipation of future date nights and celebrations? According to fashion seers, the answer may involve a little bit of both scenarios, different as they may seem.

We re all used to online clothes shopping - but what about buying new clothes that you never actually receive?
A new trend is seeing people buy virtual clothes that are superimposed onto photos of themselves to share on social media.
Like a normal online store, customers select the garment they want and click buy.
But they also provide a photo of themselves and within 48 hours, the image is sent back - with their newly purchased clothes digitally altered on, ready to share with their followers.
