ONE of the best things about fashion is how good it can make you feel and ANGELA POPLETT, Lakeside’s Personal Shopper, is here to help you pick the best new items from the rainbow of colour that’s filling the shops.

“For men the trend is neon and bright, clashing colours.

"Men are getting much more adventurous with fashion and this trend is a brilliant opportunity to start having some fun.

"It’s not expensive to give it a go, either, as Lakeside’s Primark is stocking some brilliant neon brights at their usual low prices.

“The mainstream spring/summer look for men seems set to be very casual; chinos and t-shirts. You can get the chinos from Zara or Brother2Brother in beige, navy, rust or ochre and I’d team with a bright and bold t-shirt from Jack & Jones.

"You could swap the chinos for coloured jeans, too - try Ted Baker in Lakeside’s House of Fraser for these.

“If you’re not sure about wearing so many colours, you can introduce them with bright belts, sunglasses and shoes, but my advice would be to just go for it! The brighter you go, the better you’ll feel. “For the ladies it’s all about patterns and prints. Tropical prints are particularly popular at the moment in bright blue, orange, yellow and green.

"Lakeside’s Oasis stocks a whole set of these prints and I’ve even spotted a pair of tropical print leggings in Wallis that are fabulous if you’re feeling brave.

“Like we’ve seen with menswear, neon will be finding its way into our wardrobes this spring/summer. Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham are leading the way and wearing cobalt blue, bright pink and yellow too.

"Miss Selfridge has some lovely neon colour block dresses and Zara’s full of neon separates."
