On paper, the monochrome trend just shouldn't work for summer (isn't everyone supposed to be wearing florals, all day every day throughout July and August?) But in practise, these seven stars are showing us that clean silhouettes and graphic colour combos can be way cooler than yet another strappy sundress.

Suki Waterhouse Origami folds, ladylike skirt layering and metallic accessories? Suki Waterhouse does three trends in one with this new take on the classic LBD.

Rita Ora Another star working something with a conceptual cut, we love Rita's jacket-corset hybrid by Jean Paul Gaultier. Avant garde tailoring is one of our favourite AW15 trends, so Ms Ora's already ahead of the curve with this one.

Lake Bell We need to talk about those flares. Lake's legs look incredible in her Celine 'martini glass' cut trousers, pared down with a classic white tee. See our how-to guide to nail the flares trend for yourself.
