Mint green is set to be one of the biggest colours this spring – but be quick because it's not a colour you can wear into autumn and winter.

The reason this is such a seasonal trend is that it is so fresh and crisp. While it looks cool and bright in spring and summer, it can look cold and harsh in winter.

For ultimate summer styling, and a look that is perfect for the beach or lunch with friends, team mint with white or cream.

Add pale tan or nude accessories to soften the colour and make it really feminine.

Alternatively, mint works great with the current trend for candy colours. Be brave and mix it with shades you normally wouldn't, like the oyster pink Sherry statement dress.

Or keep things sophisticated by wearing a mint jacket over a black dress for work – like the Sigourney casual dress – and wear with silver accessories.
