There was a zesty preppyness to this season’s Margaret Howell show – hues of orange and lime and an old sport flair sharpened her signature mannish tailoring. Silky, buttoned up or down, or simply as fabric – all variations of the white shirt are sure to be casual classics for next summer. A dose of sleek black added contrast to the bright whites. Crinkled metallics and raw denim supplied a textural depth, tailored in the same quintessential minimal shapes.
Slim belts cinched the waist of light shirt dresses and high-waisted shorts and trousers while a sprinkling of small neck scarves, cropped cardigans and a sun-ray skirt added to the seductively crisp mid-century vibe.
