Urban safari
Animal prints love them or hate them, there s no denying that safari-inspired print has a power unlike any other to get you noticed. From Versace to Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta, this eye-catching print was everywhere on the SS16 catwalks, a distinctive grunge aesthetic. Too much of a statement? Opt for accessories or underwear with a spot of leopard print to unleash your animal instinct.

Gingham
Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney and Céline all featured pretty gingham prints in their SS16 collections but reinvented the classic pattern with new shapes and wearable textures. You ll find plenty of colourful gingham options at J Crew, from slingback flats, sun dresses, shirts, skirts and summer cover-ups, all sporting fashion s favourite pattern. We love this nude option from Marks and Spencer, just add white trainers and keep jewellery to a minimum for an on-point daytime look.
