When it comes to styling a statement look, the M&SDresses team suggests: “To style this playful look, we recommend using a triad of patterns and colour across your outfits for a truly bold and confident feel. For example, pair a checked-print pink summer dress with a cropped green jacket and accessorise your outfit with shades of the same tone such as a neon or pastel. If you’re feeling brave, pair withcontrasting patterns such as stripes for a fun style.
