Sugary pastel shades are at their most modern when paired with black, white and grey staples.

Make it oversized. A louche slouchy version in wool, mohair or cashmere looks invariably of-the-moment.

Toughen up a candy-coloured look with tactile textures of denim.

One of the most flattering outerwear styles, the wrap coat looks best belted as it naturally accentuates the waist.

With longer versions, always style with vertiginous heels or fitted boots to avoid being swallowed up by the fabric.

Create a tonal look with pieces in colours from the same palette.

Black, white, nudes and browns are winning combinations.

Wear with sweeping wide-legged trousers or a full skirt for a modern way of layering.

Style it like street-style stars and pair with a classic stiletto heel and a sleek trouser or cropped denims for an even leggier look.

Make the print the focal point by pairing with same-length skirt or shorts.

Knee-length fringe boots in classic shades provide just the right touch of drama.
