Our Summer trend top picks:
-
Monochrome
It’s a look that will never go out of season. Black and white is a staple in everyone’s wardrobe and two colours most of us love. Wear your monochrome look this season by blocking the two colours together – try a black top with white trousers or skirt. Add a bit of colour with bright accessories too.
Colour Block Handheld Bag, Select, £14 -
Graphic Print
Be bold this season with a graphic print. Whether its neon or bright colours or a funky print, you can take graphic prints to any level you like. To really make a statement, wear matching prints all over!
Ethnic Print Smock Dress, Primark, £13 -
Pastels
Everyone loves a pastel colour after the dark winter months. Whether it’s a pale pink or baby blue, make sure there’s pastel in your wardrobe. Mint green is a big colour for 2014, so add it to your collection.
Light Blue Cotton Dress, H&M, £34.99 -

Staple Skirts
Midi skirts were a big hit in 2013, and it’s the return of the skirt this season too. Mid-lengths skirts are still super wearable in the summer, but hot right now is the full skirt with lots of volume. Team them with a t-shirt and sandals during the day, or with heels and jewellery to take your look to night.

Flat Shoes
Out with the heels, in with the flats! Not only are they much easier to wear, they’re also much comfier too. In this season is slipper shoes, loafers, flatforms and our all-time favourite ballet pumps.
