Wondering how to wear florals this summer? Look no further than our Pacific trend for style inspiration. Florals for summer have been turned up a notch. They’re bold, beautiful and best worn clashed against bright colours and contrast prints. Florals worn with wide stripes or front print tees with full and floaty skirts appeal to our endless love for retro-inspired style, with neon crops, cut-out dresses and skinny heels adding a cool, modern day twist to the look.

Freshen up your look for summer: these whites have lots of spirit. Head-to-toe white was MADE for long hot summers. This season we’re making a luxe statement with this warm-weather hue and opting for ornate embellishments on everything from jumpsuits to jackets. Intricate beading, fringing and gem embellishments are the details du jour for this trend. Opt for a beaded shell top with classic white skinnies or try out our crystal encrusted jumpsuit for full-on white heat.

A dark summer is on the horizon via Noir, our trend where all black everything rules. Of course it’s nice to brighten up with a bit of colour in the sun but sometimes you just can’t beat black when it comes to looking chic. Versatility knows no bounds when it comes to this shade: from clean and sleek camis with skinnies to girly floaty maxis, this is a hue that works across the trends and fits in and around your personal style.

Bye bye track, hello trend. Varsity style has quietly been ticking over for some time now but it’s making noise in 2013. Sportswear has clawed its way out of the gym and onto the catwalk, via the street that is: off-duty models and street style stars alike have long championed Varsity looks, so a runway influx was inevitable. The result of the model-meets-street influence is a fresh way to work sportswear into your wardrobe. We’re talking wearing an oversized sweater or jersey - long time casual staples - with towering, barely-there heels, or throwing a letterman jacket over a sleek bodycon dress for style that arguably should be wrong but looks and feels oh so right.

Hidden Rihanna for River Island extras will appear
What can you expect from the summer line? Rihanna’s picked up where she left off with spring and created a range of brand new designs plus reinventions of some of your favourite pieces from her first collection. Remember the navy hooded jumpsuit that was an instant online sell-out a few months back? Rih’s created a new version for you to covet in tie dye print for summer. The overall dress Rihanna wore on the cover of ELLE UK has also been reimagined in a monochrome floral print, a print which features throughout the collection on shirts, shorts and more. Other highlights include billowing dresses, crocheted beachwear and Rihanna’s first swimwear designs, including statement one-pieces and tie-detail bikinis. Let’s not forget the accessories too, featuring bejewelled snap-backs, cut-out boots and skinny-strap heels which are synonymous with Rihanna’s style. Rihanna’s summer collection will be released in selected stores and online on SATURDAY 25TH MAY. Until then, check out her edit of must-haves for summer below and download Blippar on your smartphone or head to riverisland.com/rihanna on your desktop to access more Rihanna for River Island content.
rih-edits Summer collection faves as picked by Rihanna “I couldn’t wait to wear this floral print set from the summer collection. I wore it in Hawaii for my 25th birthday.”
“Simple skinny heels like these are so chic. They transform any look.” “These dresses come complete with built-in shorts. I love the sheer fabric – it’s super sexy.”
