The sun is out, the skies are blue, and it’s almost summer again. From fun-filled beach days to long, relaxing evenings with friends, there’s plenty to look forward to...not least this season’s dazzling colour trends.

Inspired by London Fashion Week, we’ve uncovered the top statement shades to keep an eye out for this year. If you’re looking for the perfect gift, or a little something to get you through the final few days of winter, these pieces will add an irresistible pop of colour to your stationery wardrobe. Sure, we’re yet to see *biro-chic* on the runway, but why not lead the glamour pack by matching your pencil case to your outfit, you fashionista!

Orange Overload

We’re loving for these warm, vintage hues, reminding us of an art-deco sunset on Miami beach. Say “you’re the zest!” by sending your penfriend one of these citrus delights.

1. Behind every great success is a notebook full of ideas. Make sure you always have a notebook handy with this pocket sized leather journal.

2. Parker Duofold pens were first launched in 1921, and this stylish red edition is inspired by its modernist roots.

3. It’s rumoured that the US space program spent millions of dollars developing a pen that could write in any conditions, while the Russians just used a pencil. The cult Worther Shorty Pencil is the ultimate sidekick.

4. Add some luxury to your stationery collection with this year's special edition Lamy Al-Star. Feel like you rule the world when using this rich and debonair fountain pen (but don't worry, its not as expensive as it feels).

Summer Meadow

There’s nothing better than spending a day in nature, but even if you’re stuck at your desk, you can bring some wildflower vibes into your life by incorporating a dapple of rich greens, pinks and blues.

Strawberries & Cream

Good enough to eat, this juicy colour palette makes us think of days spent at Wimbledon. From the perfectly manicured court, to the burst of a ripe berries, instantly transport yourself into an endless afternoon.
