The embroidered design will elevate even the most basic fashion find, especially when paired with these vibrant shades. 


Now that summer has officially started, we’re finally looking toward warm-weather fashion finds: flip-flops, basket bags and sun dresses included. And we’re paying close attention to colour, breaking away from everyday neutrals and basic blacks to mimic the sunshine with bright and bold shades.

On top of the trending Brat green, vibrant red and buttercup yellow, it’s also around this time of year when certain fabrics and patterns become more popular. Crochet is back in the limelight thanks to Taylor Swift, linen pieces are keeping us cool on our morning commutes and the beautiful broderie anglaise is starting to seep through onto the high street to add an extra element of interest to tops, trousers and shirts.

Below, we’ve rounded up our favourite broderie angalise pieces, which combine the embroidery style with a bright pop of colour.
