Traffic-light fashion: the perfect summer outfit

Today is the 101st anniversary of the traffic light. Never one to miss an anniversary, we’ve translated this event into a celebration of fashion. Behold: our perfect summer traffic-light outfit. Less fancy dress, more a spree of colour blocking. First up is this perforated faux-leather red backpack from Topshop. Add to that a natty raglan summer knit from Cos and, in between, these light woollen Max Mara trousers in amber (sort of).
