Wear CORAL!! Styles to suit you

I came across this great article in how to wear CORAL!! I love this color, is fresh, stylish and you can find it in the shops this season.....

Why you need it now

With brights being such a big thing on catwalks during this -summer season, coral has found a happy niche. In its brightest incarnation, it is almost crimson in intensity but subdued with a dash of pink. However, coral, like the feminine lingerie style popular since last spring-summer, also comes in paler versions. The catwalks of the international shows that have just wrapped up had more coral delights from Antonio Berardi, Jil Sander, Bally and Diane von Furstenberg.

What to look for

The great thing about coral is that it's equally fabulous in clothing or accessories. A bright dash of coral will play nicely with other brights (look to Jil Sander's latest show for inspiration), or will lift up neutrals such as beige and white. Also, those slightly softer corals will work perfectly with nude tones. A great leather tote can be your go-to nod to brights for the season and will make a quick and easy wardrobe update. Or, if you're comfortable with a lot of colour, a block-colour dress will make a great statement. If you just want to dip a toe in the water when it comes to this trend, why not find a sexy coral wedge? And don't forget the lipstick.

Style to suit you

Athletic shapes A gorgeous draped dress in a bold tone will be perfect for summer cocktails, worn either with a jewelled sandal (avoid doubling up on the colour) or a sexy, strappy heel.

Petite shapes Coral shorts are playful, worn either with tanks and tees for casual wear or with a contrasting cropped jacket and heels for a smart, chic look.

Busty shapes A wrap dress in a coral print is a great option for summer, or look for a deep-coral V-neck jacket.

Pear shapes If you can find a ruffled coral top, you'll be ticking off two top trends for spring. Wear with jeans during the day or a slimline skirt in the evening.
