more sense to dress in layers so you can add on when it’s chilly and take off if the sun ever comes out! “Scarves are also another great way to
add colour and texture to any outfit.” Summer brights can also be seen instore
at Lorna Ruby in Exeter’s Paris Street (
www.facebook.com/LornaRubyClothing), as the shop’s namesake herself explains: “The current trends that we’re seeing for summer include a strong element of vivid colour. Statement brights are appearing for the second summer in a row and appear not to be going anywhere! “Our Devon-based label Abide has
followed these trends closely, using the highest-quality fabrics. We’ve picked some key pieces from their collection, such as wonderful silk dresses in bright cobalt or fuschia pink. Summer stripes are also a key look season. We love a lightweight knit from our Danish label Oxmo – with

Pastel or colour ‘pop’? Maggie Clarke, owner of ladies’ boutique Plume in Fore Street, Budleigh Salterton (
www.plume-devon.co.uk), says: “This summer has three main trends, but with expert guidance they can be tailored to suit clients’ specific needs, and even cross-matched. “Monochrome in spots and stripes, both
in dresses and separates, can be seen in jersey pieces from Frank Lyman and black and white floral crops from NYDJ. “The best way to wear this look is with a
pop of bright colour such as New York cab yellow in a shoe, bracelet or bag to give the look a fresh new charm. “Pop art brights are everywhere and
great fun, but don’t be afraid to clash them,

teaming lime green with shocking pink for instance, and at Plume we have an amazing collection of jersey tees from Germany made by Backstage which can effortlessly team with our jeans in lime or pink which are made in the UK by Amazing Woman. “Pastels are also present, but mixed in
a new way: aqua with saxe blue, marigold with grey and clover with sage green. These combinations can be found in both the Sahara collection and some beautiful pieces from Elisa Cavaletti. “Dresses are increasingly strong, and are
available in a relaxed fit from Sahara and more fitted in jersey from Frank Lyman and Backstage. A slim-fitted jacket teamed with a fitted dress is a look very reminiscent of Mad Men and will allow you to wear pumps, wedges or heels dependent on the occasion and your mood. A breezy Sixties vibe is present on prints with spots, stripes, borders and animal looks abound.” EL
