THE future’s bright as bold colour is back and bigger than ever.
To really pack a punch, think fresh, clashing shades.

Follow in the fashion footsteps of Victoria Beckham and pair together unlikely hues.
Pinks and blues, purples and oranges, red and yellows – there is no end to which shades you can wear together.
Here, Abby McHale shows you how to make a statement by forgetting the rulebook and going colour crazy.

TIP: Rich colours such as mustard and forest green are a great option if you don’t want to go all out with the brighter shades.
