Keeping up with fashion colour trends sometimes feels like a full-time job. Is it still butter yellow, or should I be wearing aqua? Is tomato red out? How about pistachio, matcha and mocha? Confusing, right. And it's making me hungry...
Of course, the most important thing is paying attention to which colours actually suit you, but if you want to have a bit of fun with trending colours, footwear is an easy way to work them into your summer capsule wardrobe.
And our favourite comfortable shoe brand has just made things a whole lot easier. FitFlop has teamed up with colour experts Pantone to launch a limited collection of trainers, flip-flops and chic flats in three pastel tones - yellow, pink and green.
FitFlop make far and away the most comfortable shoes I've ever tried, and this collection proves that doesn't have to mean compromising on style. According to the brand, "every shade is selected not only for its visual appeal, but for its emotional resonance, designed to lift mood, create balance and enhance the everyday experience of footwear."

The buttery soft leather matches the buttery soft shade, and not only does the elasticated cuff help you get the perfect fit, high vamp ballet flats are a huge trend this year. The lightweight cushioning helps reduce pressure on your joints, and they offer natural arch support.
There's absolutely no doubt FitFlop make some of the most comfortable trainers you can buy. Our favourites here at woman&home are the FitFlop Rally and the FitFlop Dash, but this retro silhouette is next on our wishlist.
The FitFlop iQushion flip-flops are a favourite of our editor Kerrie Hughes. She called them "so comfortable to wear, they have become my go-to shoes for day and night in warm weather." This limited edition iceberg green colour will be a fresh addition to your collection.
These feature a gold foil Pantone Colour ID embossed into the leather, plus like all FitFlop shoes, they're ergonomically engineered to help optimise your body's alignment, natural movement and energy. If you're bored of wearing trainers on repeat, these Mary Janes are a great swap.
FitFlop shoes have the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance, for footwear found to promote good foot health, so even though these are pricier than a pair of trainers you might buy on the high street, they're worth every penny.
Pair these butter yellow flip-flops with everything from white jeans to your best summer dresses. Trust me, flip-flops can be just as stylish as leather sandals!
Louise Noble, FitFlop's Chief Product and Brand Officer, says: "Colour has the power to influence how we feel, just as comfort influences how we move and how confidently we experience everyday life.
"With Pantone, we wanted to bring those two ideas together, combining emotional expression with the science of movement in a way that feels modern, uplifting and genuinely wearable."
