From Mustard to Custard | SS13 Bright Trends

The sun may still be in hiding but take your look from strength to strength as bright colours just got bolder for Spring/Summer 2013. The yellow hues have gone off the chart this season- think sunshine, fluffy baby chicks and everything from custard to mustard. 

Take a leaf from the FROWers at Fashion Week; In Milan, trendsetter and fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni wore a mustard Gucci coat and clutch to the Gucci A/W 13 show. During London Fashion Week, MTV presenter Laura Whitmore was spotted front row pulling off a divine gown at Maria Grachvogel. Other inspiration came from Victoria Secret model, Miranda Kerr,who made an appearance in a sublime casual/chic attire and a yellow blazer by Stella McCartney (inspiring several outfits for the office this spring) back in January. And back in December, we saw fashion-forward model Lily Aldridge, quick to grab two trends in one, as she combined leather pants with a pleated yellow Alexander Wang blouse.

Straight off the catwalk in ready-to-wear pieces from Oscar de la Renta to Alice+Olivia and Michael Kors, this look is sleek and grown up. My personal favourite of the trends looks this season was spotted at the Kate Spade show – predominantly yellow with her classic minimal designs. Focusing on pattern and texture she created pieces that can be playfully dressed up or down for any occasion.

Want to wear this trend? Here’s some tips: Try this Michael Kors wool crepe Jacket,( £1400) as an outerwear. Make a day-to-night statement in this yellow Jimmy Choo perforated sandals (£650), to add pops of colour to an otherwise basic outfit. For an head to toe mustard look, I recommend this Stella McCartney fringed lace dress (£1,560). Cheaper alternatives are available also, like this Tibi dress, perfect for a Michael Kors inspired look. Topshop has a purse-friendly version in the form of this mustard coloured brocade cut-out dress for just £59. Or rival Miranda Kerr in this Toshop blazer, for only £195.
