New year new colour combinations {summer}

This is such a great combination to banish the winter blues - lift your spirits with ethereal soft white and silver, with a splash of soft orchid to give a hint of colour. This is the perfect example of that effortless harmony that Summers can manage.

Adding brown can be a great way to shake up your Summer palette if you've been sticking to your grey and blue neutrals for a few seasons. Make sure your browns have an ashy or rose undertone so they fall safely within your Summer palette.

Blue is definitely Summer's happy place. Layer up tonal shades for a timelessly elegant but simple look - a variety of textures will keep it interesting, from silk to knitwear and denim.

Summers can do brights, in their own way. Play with contrasts of light and dark, bright and neutral to create a bolder look than is traditionally associated with this palette. Throwing in something unexpected like cherry red for maximum impact.
