To fete the arrival of spring in Berlin Silin Hua shares her top styling tips - plus her insider's guide to the city.
My top three style tips…
1. Invest in great vintage jeans and a black leather biker jacket. They make dresses and statement pieces feel that bit more dressed down and easy going.... just the Berlin way.
2. Don’t be a slave to trends and buy things you love... you need to feel like YOU.
3. Think in opposites. A sequined dress with trainers, T-shirt and jeans with red lipstick, a tweed jacket over a silk slip dress…. Opposing textures or styles can sometimes make the best combinations.
One thing you’d be surprised to know about Berlin style…
Leave your stilettos at home; trainers are much more in line with Berlin’s low-key style.
My insider’s guide to Berlin includes stops at…
A stroll down Kudamm and Friedrichstraße; a tea at one of my favorite bars The Monkey Bar and or The Klunckerkranich (if it’s sunny); a film at the cinema Berlin Zoo Palast, and a day at The Museumsinsel with lunch at the famous TV tower.
