When it comes to dressing for sunshine, you really can’t go wrong with a pop of colour, and there is one shade in particular that seems to be a favourite with the fashion set right now, and that’s cornflower blue.
Softer than royal blue and warmer than a pastel tone, this hue is ideal for any sunny weather wardrobe, as it treads the line between contemporary and classic. Susanna Reid clearly got the memo, as the star showed off the pretty colour thanks to a gorgeous dress by British clothing brand, Phase Eight, while presenting Good Morning Britain earlier this week.
The star wowed in the zip-front design, which also featured short puff sleeves and a belted waist, and Susanna styled it like a pro with just some understated jewels and a pair of classic court shoes in a similar blue tone. The good news is that the dress is still available and it is currently on sale, and you can find it along with some other similar cornflower buys below.

The zip-front gives this classic sundress a sporty spin that can easily be dressed up with heels or given a relaxed vibe with your best white trainers and a denim jacket. It's currently on sale, though, and it'll likely sell out fast, so don't hang about too long.
This pretty frock has a lovely swishy feel to it, while the skinny metallic belt adds structure for a more defined silhouette.
Stripes are huge news for spring and this lined number is a subtle way to tick off the trend. Add some chunky gold earrings and you'll be all set.
Got a special occasion in the diary? This silky number gives the cornflower tone a luxe feel that will look gorgeous with silver heels.
This lovely blue hue feels very fresh and joyful, and if you invest in a midi dress like Susanna's, you'll find plenty of ways to wear it over the coming months. The block colour lends itself well to a printed jacket or a statement bag, and switching up your footwear can completely change the feel of your frock to suit different occasions too.
Alternatively, take note from the star and keep things simple with just a matching pair of heels. This will tick off the colour-drenched aesthetic nicely while letting your dress have its moment.
