POWER pastels is the sweetest trend hitting your wardrobe for spring/summer ’18. Sweet like candy, nothing says “Here comes the sun” more than a delicious ice cream hue.

A summer favourite, think pretty pale shades from yellow to lilac and mintgreen to baby pink and blue.

A big hit on the runways, designers such as Preen, Hermes, Chanel and Victoria Beckham all sported sugary hues in their SS18 collections.

Speaking backstage at her SS18 show, Beckham told Vogue: “Delicacy can be strong.

“They’re ice-cream colours but it’s not too sweet or saccharine.” As much as we love the designer gelato-inspired pieces, the high street offerings will leave your bank balance a little more healthier.

A trend worth spending money on this season is a tailored two-piece, and you can nail two trends in one with a pastel suit.

We love Hobbs London’s dreamy pale purple suit and Zara’s relaxed blue double-breasted jacket and matching trouser.

Up the romance with Mango’s floaty maxi dress (€79.95), or just dip your toe into the trend with Topshop’s smart summer coat, €98. Ashleigh Crepe Truster Coat, €98, Topshop
