NEUTRALS

Neutrals look great on healthy, glowing skin. They bring out a Summer tan and this season it's all about classic beige, soft grey and pale cream.

Marc by Marc Jacobs, Prada and Preen all showcased crazy prints in the form of knee-high platform boots and striped midi skirts with clashing colour. River Island, Topshop and Marks and Spencer are the perfect places to shop if you are feeling brave.
