Now that the sun has finally deigned to shine on Manchester the city has come alive in a riot of colour and fashion styles.
It’s so nice to feel warm and not have to lug around a giant coat and umbrella to fend off a freak torrential downpour.
And now the weather has improved, however briefly it may last, it seems Mancunians are leading the fashion pack and embracing their own eclectic styles.
Piccadilly Gardens is the perfect place to spend your lunch break so next time you’re down there instead of grabbing a sun-drenched 40 winks, check out the cosmopolitan catwalk around you.
The last time I perused the streets of Manchester I discovered some heavy 80s fashion influences, a sprinkling of vintage glamour, a healthy dose of colour pop and a dollop of punk.
