Colour me pretty!

Pop-your-colour! Neon is big this season, so whip out those fluorescent hues for an instant pick-me-up. Highlighter shades of yellow and green are perfect when paired with darker tones, and effortlessly enhance darker skin tones. My favourite way to work this trend into your wardrobe? Accessories please! Neon satchels, belts and scarves allow you to subtly pull off this craze, without looking as if you just spray-painted yourself with a neon highlighter.

  

Pastels are an instant way to update your look without splurging your budget. There’s something so chic about shades of lilac and mint – think ballet pumps, cupcakes and delicate looking ladies-in-waiting. Sweeten things up with a lavender blouse or a pale pink dip hem skirt. Just remember to keep things simple – you don’t want to end up resembling an ice-cream cone!

  

Peplum! The peplum craze has been around for a while now, and I feel that I really have no excuse to ignore it anymore. Beware: wear the trend correctly, or it could possibly enlarge the size of your derrière, thereby forcing others to assume that you just left an ‘all you can eat’ buffet. Pair a peplum blouse with sleek pants for a cute office combo, or style a bright peplum skirt with a fitted muted-down top. My tip? Heels are always a plus when trying to pull off this larger-than-life trend!

Mad as a hatter? Geometrics, bold graphics and swirls of colour are definitely not for the faint-hearted! Bold prints don’t seem to be making an exit any time soon, so keep things fresh by adding a statement piece to your wardrobe - Mr Price has a great range of Aztec inspired prints for the girl who wants to assert her power. Try to pair a bold print with a less dominant shade, so that you don’t scare off anyone. And, remember this is one trend that works better when it is looser and not-so-structured.
