Trend alert: New York City chic

This summer think Carrie Bradshaw stepping out of one of New York City’s iconic yellow and black taxis. This is a trend alert set to take off next season and one bound to achieve an effortlessly high-end style.

Zara’s Tricolour Studio Dress mixes a soft summer cut with a contrasting black, yellow and beige palette, delivering a casual statement piece combining a sophisticated design with the hottest colours of the season, giving pretty a new punch.

ASOS’ bright yellow midi skirt is perfect for summer evenings, with a split to the thigh; this skirt is a perfect burst of vibrancy and teamed with a long sleeved black crop top will achieve sassy evening chic.

If bright yellow clothing isn’t for you, why not keep the look simple and classic, with an all black outfit and a splash of colour from this Johnny Loves Rosie handbag. This gorgeous envelope bag is a quirky addition to a simple black outfit giving your look an injection of city chic.

As summer arrives, this trend proves that it’s wearable anywhere – Red or Dead’s Map bikini combines the buzz of black and yellow with a printed map of London, combining urban style with beachwear, perfect for holiday season.

 As well as sophisticated clean-cut pieces, this trend also offers edgier pieces set to take off this festival season. Tripp NYC’s Tartan biker jacket is a statement piece that incorporates yellow and black shades and a classically punk pattern.
