Pretty in pastels

From lemon yellow to mint green, designers revelled in sorbet shades this season. Add a borrowed-from-the-boys jacket to keep the look chic, not saccharine, and add character with geometric accessories and fashion-forward mules.

Not so mellow yellow

Yellow was a heavy hitter on not only the SS18 catwalks, but also the AW18 runways too, so invest in the colour now and you’ll be wearing it for months to come. Embrace the shade with our sweeping single-breasted duster coat (above) – ideal layered with neutral workwear – or dip a toe into the trend with vivid accessories.

Wrap stars

Not since the Seventies have wrap styles been so relevant, making a side-tie top or skirt a must-buy this season. The supremely flattering cut is a godsend for all figures, accentuating the waist and creating the illusion of longer legs. Try a simple shirt for everyday office chic, or team a look-at-me skirt with your favourite ankle boots.
