Another fashion week has been and gone in London, but as the clothes are squirrelled away until spring, there's time to reflect on the key trends of the season. Metallics, florals, colourful stripes, pristine whites, sportswear and flats are key looks for spring/summer 2015 -- but don't wear them all at once. (Photos and text: AFP) Vibrant colour: London was filled with pale pinks and blues, bright oranges, reds and yellows, offset with nude and cream shades. Mixing many of them, Burberry Prorsum turned to nature for a vibrant collection of dresses, jackets and skirts in poppy red, fern yellow, dragonfly blue and beetle green.

Flats: This practical trend has been around for a while, but thankfully designers are no longer vying to make the ugliest versions possible. Temperley London styled lace-up printed trainers with its elegant collection of calf-length trousers, jackets, waistcoats and dresses in stripes, prints and checks.

Flower power : Ignore Meryl Streep's withering put-down in "The Devil Wears Prada" -- "Florals? For spring? Ground-breaking" -- and embrace the power of a well-placed petal. Luxury label Marchesa led the pack with exquisite floral threadwork trickling across silk tiered ruffles and billowing sleeves. Matthew Williamson had gorgeous prints on flowing dresses, Jonathan Saunders used simple petal designs, and Simone Rocha applied red poppies onto sheer dresses.

Stripes: Deeply flattering if you wear them the right way and hideous if you don't, stripes featured heavily in this week's shows. Jonathan Saunders used his in shimmering blue against black velvet, while Giles had baby pink pinstripe trouser suits. Topshop Unique used different sized horizontal stripes in blue, white, black and red on dresses and vertical stripes on trousers and jackets.
