Key fashion trends : Floral print trousers and playsuit from Miss Selfridge
Trousers, £29
Only a true fashionista will venture into this domain. To pull this look off we suggest a cool approach: try layering a plain vest and T-shirt and wear with flat strappy sandals. Very Alexa Chung

Playsuit, £38
If you love this print but the trousers are a little too 'out there', we suggest the playsuit. Break up the print with a vest underneath

This sharp shape and geometric print works on all body shapes. An alternative to the bold floral print, we love the ecletic feel of this dress

Key fashion trends : Paul and Joe Print Dress from Fenwick.co.uk
Dress, £235
A little more pricey, but we adore the colours and bold print on this dress. A great wardrobe brightener against the sea of neutral colours this season

Key fashion trends : Monochrome print skirt from Hobbs
Skirt, £129
If you find bright florals too much, go for a monochrome version. The secret is to keep it short and playful - mix with a cool T-shirt and strappy sandals

Key fashion trends : Paint effect dress from Matalan
Dress, £22
We love the smudgy, painterly effect of this print contrasting with the graphic silhouette of the dress. If girly florals aren't your thing then this is the dress for you

Dress, £60
There is nothing subtle in this print. This season the bolder the better, though we suggest toning it down with black opaque tights and black ankle boots

Some prints are so beautiful you just want to hang them on your wall. This maxidress is definitely a work of art
