By the time summer gets here the high street will be awash with pastels - get in early with coloured jeans. We like this soft peach pair

This offering from Gap is a great smart-looking denim shirt. Wear with beige slimline chinos for a preppy look or a pleated leather skirt for a bit of edge

Bleached denim looks great with a fresh white shirt, worn tucked in, or a simple cashmere navy knit. Save this for the sun, though - tights don't work with this look

Continuing with the Americana theme, try out a baseball bomber jacket. We'd wear this with cigarette pants and candy coloured heels

Carry this sunbleached clutch to soften a sharp tailored look or to toughen up a pretty pastel sundress. It's a great all-rounder
