Be bold this season in vibrant colours, prints and patterns…
This is a Marie Claire Advertorial.
Prove you're no shrinking violet and embrace a kaleidoscope of colours for the season ahead...
Go green Designers took us deep into the jungle this season with lush green tones and vibrant prints. Embrace the theme with lifelike designs or abstract print versions like these culottes.
Turn up the heat No SS16 wardrobe is complete without a surge of poppy red and ever since we spotted full-length dresses at the Marc Jacobs and Hugo Boss ready-to-wear shows, we've been on the search for The One. Enter this swishy, pleated number –the ultimate wedding-guest outfit and top of our summer hit list.
Red Santiago Dress, £229, Hobbs
Have some fun Why limit yourself to just one hue? Colour-blocking is a great way to wear bold brights and we love the shift-style of this V-neck summer dress. Simply add nude sandals and layer delicate necklaces and pendants to create a simple and chic day-to-night look.
Agnes Colour Block Dress, £69.50, Oliver Bonas
And accessories? Go for rainbow brights, splatter-effect designs or embellishment with sequins or pom-poms for a little fun. Our current obsession is this bubble print multicoloured block heel – it's our go-to happy shoe.
Multi-Coloured Bubble Print Sandals, £80, Dune
