SS17 : Here Come the Brights!

Seeing that the only certainty surrounding UK weather is its constant uncertainty, you would be forgiven if you were not quite prepared for this heat wave which has graced the country right before the Bank Holiday Weekend. At Pepper Alley, we've been giving summer fashion and dressing a lot of thought over the year. For this reason, we can't wait to share our favourite trends and how they inspired our leather products in three instalments. This week we start with one of our favourites, summer brights!

It all starts with a pop of bright pink at Delpozo's SS17 show ; bold lines, structured sleeves and accessories to match.

It's then the lemon yellow Grecian goddess look; reminiscent of sun, sea, sand and spontaneous, last minute getaways. (Tibi SS17).

While these brights hues may look intimidating, the key to successfully pulling them off is in keeping the rest of your outfit simple and understated, starting with your bag. A few examples? The bright pink can be muted by a clutch bag in the same colour family while the sunshine yellow can be complemented with a grey hued evening bag.

There has also been a not so subtle nod to orange and purple brights this SS17. Starting from Christian Siriano's look in total orange and finishing with Emporio Armani's SS17 purple detailing, it is evident that these colours have made statetements on the catwalk regardless of whether they dominated the whole outfit or simply elevated it through intricate detailing.

While embracing a ton sur ton with these brights may work well, it may simply make too strong a statement and appear over done. We have the perfect solution : considering that fashion is in the details, our Liberty lining is perfect to give your outfit that matching pop without looking try hard!

 So, here we have it, our carefully curated brights selection for SS17. How will you be wearing your brights this summer? Don't forget to tag us in your instagram looks: @pepper_alley
