Although there is still a chill in the air, the days are getting noticeably longer. This means one thing: spring is in the air. Well, almost. This is the time to consider rethinking the all-black winter uniform you've lived in for the past six months and to inject some subtle colour into your look. Pantone hits of sherbet shades are high on the menu for next season.

Pretty pastels in blush pink, mint green, powdery blues and dreamy lilacs ensure you're tapping into a far softer and feminine spectrum of colour that lends itself beautifully to the lightweight and floaty fabrics such as dreamy chiffon and ladylike lace more often found in spring collections.

Accessories too can be found in frosty ice cream hues. Think romantic, girly and fairy princess, in a stripped-back way, and you have your new look.
