New York SS12 Trend: Colour Blocking

Colour your world happy, with shocking new shades this summer.

It’s time to step up and take the challenge. Collide courageous colours from opposite ends of the spectrum as you whip out your new season colour wheel. Break the rules and be seen in blue and green. Take on tangerine tanks and add a pop of hot pink to your pants. Look sweet in a sour lemon dress and finish your look with a rich red blazer.

Mix it up and make a new colour clash. Start with a solid base and build up the colour blocks. Add accessories of contrasting hues and create crazy colour combinations. Choose shades that make you smile and light up your wardrobe with a new, vibrant ‘wow’ factor.

Remember, the brighter the better!

How to: Style the maxi dress

Maxi dresses are this season’s must-have wardrobe item. Fit for every shape and style, the maxi dress is a comfortable and trendy look you’ll love all summer long.

The most important thing to consider is the cut of the maxi dress and how it sits. Also keep in mind you don’t need a model’s height to pull off the maxi dress look. For the more vertically challenged a sleek A-line maxi paired with a simple pair of wedges will help elongate your figure, while giving you a cute and comfortable look.

This summer, try the flowing floral maxi dress and set off your stylish look with statement pieces of jewellery, strappy sandals or military boots and a floppy hat. Add oversized shades and bag for an easy-wear daytime ensemble.

Give your maxi dress an elegant evening overhaul with powerful pumps or wonderful wedges, chunky jewels and an intricate necklace. For a structured addition to take your maxi through the night, add a brightly coloured, tailored blazer and sleek clutch.
