This super-hot look shows no sign of slowing since it's recent Spring Summer 2011 catwalk revival, with designers including J Crew and Louise Gray having showed more of this eye popping colour contrast for Spring Summer 2012 too.

Go for individual colour-blocked separates, bold ready-clashed pieces or try adding red nails with a pink outfit for a subtle yet knowing take on this key fashion trend.
