With summer in full swing, it's time to embrace colour- and lots of it.
If you're guilty of filling your wardrobe with a sea of black hopefully we can convince you that wearing colour is the way to go this season.
Not only does it look super stylish, it will lift your spirits instantly- that's why we like to call them 'happy hues.'
But where do you start?
Well you don't have to pile on every colour under the sun straight away, instead start introducing them into your wardrobe slowly with a bright bag or colourful footwear.
White is also another way of breaking up block brights in a summery yet stylish manner.
See below for some style inspo- we simply added an oversized white shirt to a pair of purple trousers.
However if you really want to embrace the trend, some colours were really made for wearing together.
Pink and green for example, all you need to do is look up the colour wheel and see which opposites attract.
