Sunset boulevard
Well marked
Make a strong statement by layering your summer coats over trousers and tunics, mixing your stripes with desert tones and blocks of colour.
Squeeze extra style points out of this trend and marry your hot hue with black and khaki block separates in graphic shapes.
Get the look... Wallis
Learn your lines
The majority of designers showed a super stripe in their collections. Graphic lines ran the gamut from Oxford blues and sporty bands, to multi-colour mash-ups. Bold strokes benefit from minimal silhouettes: 60s suits, mannish shirt dresses and spaghetti strap dresses power up with simple stripes.
Orange is the new black
If you’re going to pick one bright to update your wardrobe this season, you’d better make it orange. Designers embraced a new lightness in the SS16 collections and it came in the form of happy sunset shades and citrus colours. Tangerine tones are the juiciest option for fashion-literate shoppers this summer.

Quick march
Pared-back, the checks felt town as opposed to county this season. Square up to the trend in loosely tailored pieces with neat lines for an urban edge.

Country life
Pastoral aesthetics created idyllic clothing with picnic checks sitting pretty on relaxed lines, while faded florals worked daywear with ruffles and frills. Prairie girl mash-ups can be chic: team Broderie Anglaise blouses with worn denim, or slip checks underneath a flyaway dress with plunging neckline, to demure effect.
Military mood
The collections took their tailoring orders from the military-minded and championed khaki as the new-season neutral. No-frills workwear included zippy jumpsuits – hero item of the season – safari jackets and trenches in shades ranging from jungle green to French navy to golden sand storms. Pick combat kit and march out in style.

The athleisure trend is proving a winner, season upon season. If you’re inspired by our sports-luxe shoot but don’t have time to stop and shop, you can still master this summer’s top trend by going online and buying these hero pieces at intu.co.uk/shop. This look is ALL about body-con, but give yourself a helping hand – do you look better in a two-piece? Then pair your top with tracksuit bottoms in a bold colour and go faster stripe. If one-piece is more your thing, then team with a bold silhouette to add interest. This season’s bomber (check out our top picks on page 11) is the perfect accompaniment. Then mix your sport with some bling. High-shine fabrics and plastics are great for accessories. Gold jewellery and fierce reflector shades are your new best friend this season. What’s stopping you?

Our home-grown style maven has mastered dressed-up and dressed-down chic in her own eponymous style
V
ictoria Beckham is one smart sartorialist. She’s graduated from girl band member with an alarming fondness for questionable bling, to a savvy businesswoman with a global designer fashion brand. She’s her label’s best ambassadress, evolving her personal style as the collection grows; now mastering the art of masculine dressing for both day and night. Her postAW16 show outfit was a masterclass in ‘smasual’ – that’s smart/casual to you and me – a big funnelneck sweater, a sharp pair of tailored trousers and the plainest Stan Smiths are today’s fashion insider’s uniform of choice. The pieces are borrowed from the boys and are at home in either wardrobe. Stiffer jeans look cooler, bigger jumpers look sexier and we feel ever so slightly slinkier in the slouchy stuff. So how do you play the boys at their own game when it comes to eveningwear? Packing a punch in a white tux is Mrs Beckham’s signature move. Mannish silhouettes in feminine fabrics add allure. Teaming masculine suits with lace edged camisole will keep your look confident as opposed to frothy: the perfect solution for easy cocktail attire. Just don’t forget the heels!

Grey matter
50 shades of our favourite foggy tone ruled the SS16 catwalks. Grey is a colour that all men have in their wardrobe already, but it’s all about how you wear it: varying shades and patterns of grey should be worn all at once to create a look that’s big on texture.
Devil in blue jeans
Next season’s denim is ripped, patched, bleached. And while jeans that are slashed to pieces might only be for the most fashionforward among us, note that your jeans should look lived in – whether that’s through a lighter wash or a repair or two.
