Armand Basi One, Gucci, Michael Kors, DKNY. All have one thing in common: their prolific use of the shade to be seen in this sprin – electric blue. Fitting in fabulously with fashion’s current obsession with all things 80’s (without being as garish as the neon shades saturating the revival), the colour adds a classic intensity to any summer ensemble and will suit all skin tones. Wear head to toe, a la Michael Kors or mix with black for striking, 80’s glam. Feel like injecting some print? Stick to animal print as seen at Lanvin.

We love this Temperley London Kayla leopard-print tunic which is bound to add some glamour to our beach attire.

 or why not try a reptile print bag, like this patent beauty from Marc by Marc Jacobs (£245).

or keep things simple with a slick injection of blue with a statement ring. You really can’t go wrong!
