Frill-seekers, rejoice. With a new season in blossom, style is craving a little reprieve from our off-duty essentials and the four walls we are well too familiar with.

Whether you’re a kid at heart or in dire need of a little fantasy, take a trip down nostalgia lane with our top 5 films to enchant your mind and wardrobe.
Marie Antoinette, 2006
Quintessentially Sophia Coppola! Delicious pastels, extravagant bejewelled gowns and blossoming gardens soundtracked with an equally bubbly mix of The Strokes, New Order and Siouxsie & The Banshees. If this doesn’t pop you into a new spring vibe, we don’t know what will.

Ever After: A Cinderella Story, 1998
Nothing like a romantic 90s banger to raise the spirits. Starring our girl Drew Barrymore plus a few classic faces. It’s the fairytale remixed with a modern twist, the perfect dose of sweet and sassy. The masquerade ball scene is just brimming with puffy, frilly and velvet style inspo that could be re-appropriated now.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest, 1992
A total throwback millennial cartoon set in the Australian rainforest. The feel good factor will be soaring just for the mere reconnection with your inner kid plus add onto that psychedelic plants and magical fairies with rapping bat pals (voiced by the legend himself Robin Williams). It’s everything we’re craving — colour, nature and fantasy. The family will want to watch it with you too.

The Secret Garden,1993
More exotic than it is enchanted but not to be dismissed as any less magical. A time-honoured classic of friendship set in Edwardian England. Explore foggy marshes and the grandeur of a dusty old manor with secret rooms, keys and of course a mysterious garden that the protagonist Mary regenerates with the help of her newfound pals. It’s a tearjerker for sure, but the kind that leaves you with hope and joy.

A Midsummer's Night’s Dream, 1999
Spoiler alert: Michelle Pfeiffer as a glittering fairy queen! Silky gowns and this season’s must-have white cotton midi-dress are rife throughout this Shakespearian fantasy. Alongside familiar Hollywood faces like Calista Flockhart, Christian Bale, Kevin Kline and Rupert Everett. It’s a rom-com in an enchanted forest with elves and talking animals, come on what more could the heart want?
