The races and wedding season is now fully in swing and provides a perfect excuse to go all out. Aintree kicked off the fashion frenzy in April with celebrities setting the standard of what we will be wearing in SS12. Coleen Rooney has appeared in a number of fitted skater dresses and high split maxi’s (think Angelina at The Oscars!), florals, bodycon and nude tones featured strongly.

The usual dilemmas of wedding season will be on your mind with weather predictions playing a big part in outfit building. If in doubt team your chosen dress with a cute cropped jacket, Chanel and Burberry Porsum are a great inspiration for SS12.

The ultimate accessory to complete the look is a statement clutch. Coming in all shapes and sizes this season from box to oversized and leather to prints they are exactly what you need to perfect this polished look.

Not forgetting shoes, platforms are a firm favourite at the races and throughout the wedding season, with nudes coming out to offer the leg lengthening solution. If you are a feeling ambitious go for a pop of colour in contrast to a neutral dress, this seasons sunshine yellow is still very much at the forefront. Most importantly, this is the perfect opportunity to glam up and have fun!
