Trend of the week: Pale and interesting

Inspiration

Soft and subtle shades make long summer days a breeze. Try 90s-inspired sombre hues as seen at Acne, candy colour-blocking from Stella McCartney or John Rocha’s diaphanous confections — dreamy and aquatic.

We love the high street’s homage to the trend, especially COS, Reiss and Zara, who’ve made sorbet an office-appropriate treat.
