Colour is a key trend with blues in every shade from cobalt to cornflower popping up all over the SS13 collections. As are girlie dusky pinks and underwater greens so don’t be afraid to ditch the traditional tan or classic black in favour of a pop of colour. They’re much more wearable than you might think.
