Admittedly, sultry crimsons and electric oranges are great pick-me-ups for the winter months but once that sunshine hits the streets, it becomes instantly tempting to ditch the darks in favour of something softer.
Valentino and Burberry Prorsum can't get enough candy-coloured fabrics this season - indulge your sweet tooth with baby blues, light pinks, pale yellows, spearmints and lilacs. Inspiration comes from Gatsby-era flappers, Diana-era Supremes and your nephew's gumball machine. Note: these sugary shades work wonders at toning down a ballsy look – now's the time to chance your arm with a provocative hem or neckline and pile on layer upon layer of over the top accessories.
