As always, our aim is to keep you one step ahead of the trends, which is why we've picked out the six colours we think fashion will adopt for spring so you can buy into them early.

Style Notes: Dustier in tone than Millennial Pink, this is how grown-ups do the romantic shade. Invest in a clean-cut blazer and wear it with jeans and statement accessorises.
