Gingham
This patterned favourite will be seen in skirts, dresses, shorts and trousers.
The high street cottoned on to the catwalk obsession after House of Holland had a hit with the look.

Really, the crazier you can make it, the better, as irregular edging from the likes of JW Anderson has filtered on to the high street.
Iridescent
Move aside metallics – 2017’s version of last year’s look has more of a sweet- wrapper shine.
Let your outfit do the talking by reflecting the light so you stand out for all the right reasons.
Jungle prints
Palm-leaf prints single-handedly defeat the January blues. In an instant, they make you think of summer and of what you’ll be wearing as your staple look on holiday.
