TAILORED TROUSER SUITS

“This powerful and sophisticated look is commonly associated with workwear, but can easily be customised for weddings,” says Katie.

She says vibrant suits make a statement and are perfect in pastel shades – a spring staple.

“Pair your trouser suit with a fitted white top and a matching white clutch or chain bag for a contrasting, clean fit,” adds Katie. Caroline Young, author of The Colour Of Fashion: The Story Of Clothes In Ten Colours (Welbeck, £14.99) is also a fan of bold, block colours.

“Whether it’s a zesty green, lemon yellow or one of the many [shades of] pink, it’s a great way to bring a burst of vibrancy with you,” she says.

“You could also take inspiration from the Duchess of Sussex’s two-piece tailored suit, worn to the Invictus Games. Rather than choosing pristine white, you could go for fuchsia, soft orange, peach or electric blue.”
