A: The British designer Richard Nicoll spearheaded this look with his spring/summer collection that revolved around bubblegum, tangerine and sky blue.

The first piece of advice is to choose a colour that suits your skin tone. Uniqlo has sweaters and jeans in every hue, including the pieces pictured right, so you should find something there that works for you.
