Ostrich Feathers

Ostrich feathers are making a strong showing on the Spring/Summer ’18 runways, and while we love how glamorous they can be, it takes guts to wear them. Here’s how you can wear feathers without looking like Big Bird

1 Ground your feathers with contrasting textures in similar colours.

2 Since you’ve got plenty of drama going on in your outfit, stick to a simple handbag.

3 Complement your feathers by picking other pieces in a similar colour family.

4 Choosing a feathered piece with duller shades helps to tone it down.
