Candy Colours


Enjoy that head-to-toe black while you can because whether you call them sorbet shades or candy colours, many of this season's hues are good enough to eat. Lemon yellow, eau de nil, mint, lilac, and cotton-wool pink appeared at numerous shows, and the high street is set to come over just as pretty.
Make sure you keep the look modern. Firstly, stick to the very palest, lightest versions of these shades, rather than E-number brights, and look for sharp modern shapes, or the kind of rebellious undercurrent seen at Christopher Kane and Miu Miu, where dresses in innocent colours came with sheer or cutaway elements. Try sugary shades with boyish separates; team a rose-pink silk vest with rolled-up chinos or a boyfriend blazer. Watch out when pairing pastels with black; shades of khaki, camel and tan look more expensive. After all, this look should evoke an upmarket Parisian patisserie.Check out the new shades of Dior's collection
