Not quite yellow, not quite cream, this delectable shade is having a serious moment, with nods on the runway from brands like Chloé (available at David Jones) and Chanel. This season, there are a bounty of high street options, like the ‘Sofia’ gown from Sheike, perfect for black tie events, and the Sandro ‘Diana’ dress, perfect for your next garden wedding. For elevated off-duty dressing, Viktoria & Woods Seneca shorts look great with a simple white singlet, and Zara’s gathered top with ties will instantly elevate your favourite pair of jeans.

Call it merlot, call it oxblood, this shade is beloved across the fashion spectrum, from Adidas to Saint Laurent. At the latter, the brand's ‘Jamie’ handbag is available in a delicious plum shade, as is Tory Bruch’s small Kira diamond quilt shoulder bag. At Incu, burgundy separates come courtesy of a deconstructed shirt and at Bec + Bridge party dressing takes center stage with the sequin Celestia mini dress. And Adidas’ vintage-classic Sambas come in a sharp maroon shade this season, with contrasting pink panels.

Switch up your favorite neutrals (beiges and navy's and blacks) with a bit of chocolate. Try a head-to-toe chocolate brown look, like this fitted baby tee and tailored trouser combination from Witchery, or Seed’s adorable structured linen pant-set. On the swimwear front, we love Seafolly’s new-season brown bikini with high-contrast white piping. When it comes to handbags, Oroton’s elegant top-clasp clutch is the perfect day-to-night bag and for shoes, you can either go sporty (these chestnut sneakers from Zara) or feminine (coffee-coloured Mary-Janes from Jo Mercer).
