One of fashion's favourite tropes is to trot out colour blocking as a way to wear colour when the temperature turns up, and with the official beginning of spring this week, the colour blocking memo begs a little more consideration.
Vivid, bright hues pared back with strong neutral tones offer up a thoughtful and fresh way to wear a bright colour.

And when it comes to separates, think of relaxed utilitarian pieces such as khaki pants or tan-coloured tops, teamed with your favourite bright colour.
It's a great way to ease into wearing colour and is versatile enough to consider for both work and weekend dressing.
