5 pieces that will instantly breathe colour into your summer wardrobe

This spring summer's newest arrivals have been about pastel colours, sharp designs and some nostalgic, throwback vibes. 

And don't get us wrong, there's nothing wrong with a bit of navy, white, black or khaki - these colours could likely be the crux of your summer wardrobe. But for those occasions that demand more excitement, you'll want to inject colour into what you wear. Here are five easy options to add an instant splash of colour to your favourite outfit, whatever your style.

If bold tones aren't your bag, this season's pastel palette is a gentle segue into the world of colour. 

Fred Perry's collection of Ringer Tee's and Twin Tipped T-Shirts are everything you'd need from a plain T-Shirt, without it being a luminous shade of chartreuse. You don't have to completely ditch the Navy and Black, because they'll compliment darker shades perfectly. 

Plus, they work layered up, so you can add just the right amount of colour to your summer outfit.

Belstaff once again dropping their sharp signature styles in new spring summer colours with the Gauge Hoodie in Lime Yellow (is it green or yellow though?). 

Dress this one up with black shorts or baggy jeans and you're good to go. Unfortunately in the UK, we don't have the luxury of a summer without a few miserable weather days- so having a hoodie on hand is sort of a necessity. 

Since this one's eye-catching enough in it's own right, you won't need to overcomplicate it with loud outerwear - it will be the centre piece of your summer outfit.

Another staple in a soft, summer colourway from Lacoste, this Brushed Cotton Sweatshirt will pretty quickly breathe plenty of life into your summer wardrobe. 

This yellow colourway's extra snappy, making it the perfect throw over piece for those cool summer evenings outside, going to and from the gym, or simple day-to-day wear. 

The brushed cotton is sumptuously soft, it almost makes you want to rub it against your cheek. 

A long-standing staple that needs no introduction. Polo Shirts have stood the test of time in the fashion market, and gone are the days of them only being for Grand Slamming, racket-swinging tennis players. 

Heard of the Passenger Polo Shirt from BOSS? No? You must be new here. A slim fitting, three-button placketed, collar and logo embroidered polo shirt that we've got in a handful of colourways this summer, and it comes in every season. 

A true EQVVS perennial. The pastel orange'll liven up any outfit.

And where would we be without an Overshirt to finish off. We harp on about these a lot, but they can really elevate your outfit- they're the secret weapon in your arsenal for adding a bit of colour to your wardrobe. 

We love 'em all, but in this pink, you'll find the perfect subtle colour partner for jeans and cargos alike. Versatile, understated and proper cool. You're welcome.
