IN THE RED

Sitting somewhere between vibrant geranium and confident poppy, orange-red is perhaps the most flattering of all the crimson hues. But if you’re unsure how to wear it, this midi dress is a fail-safe place to start. Featuring a subtle print, it offers a refined take on the bold colour trend that’s ideal for everyday wear. It’s crafted with a nipped-in waist to accentuate your figure and features a versatile calf length that works effortlessly with everything from sneakers to ankle boots. And because we’re big fans of considered details, there are delicate ruffles at the hemline for an added touch of romance. Add a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, grab your trusty biker jacket and go.

right reasons in
head-turning colour

ANIMAL INSTINCTS

If you love animal print but feel like a change from your beloved leopard, why not make a new stop on the fashion safari and give this chic zebra-print number a go? With a button-down front, tied waist and V-neckline, this dress is super flattering, and will take you from the office to an evening out with no problem. Add style points in the form of bright accessories: a black and white palette like this is the perfect backdrop to experiment with a pop of colour, like a bright trench and heels.

FEELGOOD FLORALS

Let me introduce you to this wonderfully stylish and eminently flattering dress. With its suits-everyone navy shade, drawstring waistband and long sleeves, it has great potential for fuss-free styling throughout the coming months. Layer over a skinny-rib polo neck and a suedette jacket and you’re ready to take on your weekend plans in style. Finish the look with white ankle boots or sneakers.
