Have fun with colour in unlikely block combos this summer. Tangerine, acid lime and cobalt will give your wardrobe a wakeup call with their lively hues. Be bold and pair this look back with strong eye colours in blues, greens and pinks.

Leave the coat at home, now is the time to sparkle and shine with metallic fabrics designed to speak for themselves under city skylines. Dresses are embellished with sequins and sure to shine just in time for the party season. Finish the look with statement metallic accessories, the perfect heel and lashings of mascara for full effect.

Not just for the cooler months, leather is sticking around for summer by ditching its favourite shade of black to embrace lighter hues of nude, rust and tan. Perfectly transformed into soft jackets, structured tops and short shorts, leather is here to stay for summer and one to wear year round.

This is the colour of the season so inject some vibrant red into your summer wardrobe. This colour packs a punch so wear it with confidence! If the full red look isn’t your thing, why not hunt out the perfect shade for your lips and prepare to get noticed!
