Use contrasting patterns to streamline your shape – a darker belt or middle panel will whittle your waist

Looking to make a sartorial impact with minimal effort? A bold, colourful print is your one-stop solution. From showstopping floral dresses to bolshie bags, more is more when it comes to this style. If you want to go all out, clash two different prints – just make sure the colours coordinate. Alternatively, ease yourself in with one vibrant piece that makes a statement.
