Spring Awakens: Discovering the Latest Trends at MQ
As winter releases its hold, nature begins to awaken and spring unfurls its vibrant colors. With this change in season comes a refreshing opportunity to replace the heavy garments of winter with lighter, more colorful attire. Madelene Ullbro, MQ’s chief designer, emphasizes the importance of transitioning your wardrobe with tailored trousers in soothing spring hues, which provide a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe.
For a polished look, Ullbro suggests pairing these trousers with a tailored vest and blazer or opting for a cozy knitted sweater in a cheerful spring color for a more casual vibe. "It’s essential to wear clothing that resonates with your personal taste and comfort," Ullbro notes. She champions a monochrome approach to spring dressing, favoring looks that embrace a single color from head to toe, particularly shades like pure white, beige, and pastel yellows. Mixing neutral base colors with brighter pieces can also create striking outfits.
Highlights for Women's Fashion
This season’s women's collection focuses on vibrant tones such as sunny yellows and lively pinks. Key pieces include a chic safari-inspired jacket and a light yellow three-piece suit that Ullbro adores. “The light yellow vanilla tone is one of spring's trend colors,” she explains. Each piece in the suit can be effortlessly mixed and matched with jeans or fitted poplin shirts, emphasizing versatility in styling. Additionally, fabrics like breathable cotton and airy knits add a flowing elegance perfect for warmer days. Ullbro recommends complementing outfits with classic mules, sandals, and tasteful jewelry to elevate the look.
Styling Tips
- Color Combination: Stick to a coherent color palette to maintain visual harmony.
- Silhouette Balance: Pay attention to body proportions; if wearing loose garments, choose shorter tops to emphasize the waist.
- Right Fit: Ensure clothing fits well, as ill-fitting pieces can detract from your overall appearance.

For men, the wardrobe sees a surge in colors and patterns this spring. Marcus Wennergrund, MQ’s assortment manager, highlights the striped shirt, which is now seen in both polished and casual styles. Stripes range from classic to multicolor variants, making them suitable for various fashion applications.
