Orange is definitely the new black as it dominated the catwalks of the spring summer collections.

Brown, blue and white are perfect to make it pop and if you’re the adventurous sort, then wear this trend from head to toe and embrace the 50 shades of orange! FLORAL FRENZY It wouldn’t be spring without flowers. Florals, this season are somewhere between English garden and abstract sketches. Some brands made it very obvious and others gave a gentle nod to the girly side, with enchanting styles seen on the catwalks of Alexander McQueen and Calvin Klein Collection. Summer dresses in vibrant florals gave Gucci’s and Tommy Hilfiger’s youthful collection a fun vibe. Men can also wear this trend by pairing a floral shirt with casual rolled-up trousers. The trend also trickled down to footwear, as seen in Carolina Herrera’s floral patterned shoes. This season is all about romance, so go on and get flirty with this oh-so-feminine trend.
