Think Pink
This season think pink - in particular the warm, dusty rose seen in a big way at Gucci and Topman Design. Incorporate the trend easily without getting quite so bold, simply add a burst of it by slipping a pink crew neck T-shirt under your tailoring or a crisp linen shirt.
Stone
Not khaki, but the colour that hits between white and sandy beige - was the most popular colour shown by designers for the season. The great news is that it’s not only a fantastic colour for a suit, but it’s also a sun-friendly alternative to stark white jeans and will warm up all skin types.
Stripes
Vertical stripes - a menswear classic, but the difference this season is that they were also seen in varying widths - what we’d be inclined to call "deckchair prints" - and injected with pastel colours clashed with darker ones, as seen at Ami and Fendi.
Notable Accessories
The most notable feature on catwalk footwear was a fold down back - that's a heel with more supple, unstructured leather that can flatten underneath your foot to make the shoe into a mule. And while the styles we saw at the shows were mostly loafers, this detail is now starting to appear on a whole range of styles from espadrilles to skate shoes. Slip a pair to add an instant summer vibe to your outfit. Sunglasses were bolder with patterns, tinted lenses and super-thick frames trending in designer collections across the board. Frames were either strong and angular or perfectly round, with eye-catching patterns or extra details like acetate overlays.
