Every summer wardrobe needs a print, and if you’re going to indulge, Etro or Missoni should be your first port of call. What Etro does so well is combine elegant paisley prints with classic shapes – such as this jersey dress. Alternatively, you can kill two trends with one nifty stone (clever slogans and pop art colours) with a Bella Freud jumper.

Take your cue from The Row’s unfussy aesthetic and follow Ellery’s clean lines for the route to modern sophistication. Keep a neutral palette and adopt styles that sit away from the body, for a breezy look that doesn’t try too hard.

We love textured shirts and soft jackets worn in a smart but understated way. Separate dressing is a key trend that we see growing in importance in future seasons. It’s a perfect look for travelling in – comfortable and modern but elegant.

White on white looks to be a prominent trend for SS15. It may sound simple, but by contrasting shades, fabrics and textures, you can style a flattering fashion look. Layering white is a great option for the transitional spring months, and the right accessory can really complete the outfit.

Denim was a key trend on the catwalks for SS15 – but not just in a pure denim way. There was a mix of indigo looks and dyeing techniques, and denim effects were used on a variety of textures, including, knits, jacquards and chambray. Get the look with this denim Tencel asymmetric neckline dress from Kin by John Lewis (£69, available in January).
