A matter of taste: Nine servings of foodie fashion
Serve with a cocktail and a side of confidence and you've got this season's tastiest trend.
On the menu is a River Island's 'Atlas' short sleeve chilli sequin dress—a spicy little number that turns up the heat for festivals and nights out.
For daytime flair, add a dash of Mediterranean flavour to your summer capsule with an olive print wrap skort.
Pair with a tank top and strappy Greek sandals or upgrade your culinary experience with its co-ordinating blazer.
Bananas, it appears, are also having a moment (check out this week's How to Wear It).
Expertly pleated and soaked in colour; Brazilian brand Farm Rio understood the assignment with its joyful 'Aquarela' dress.
Ditto for British retailer Reiss. Inspired by 16 plates of illustrated exotic and tropical blooms from the New York Botanical Garden's archive, its satin 'Winona' shirt, part of an NYBG collaboration, giving citrus a sport luxe edge.
More of an acquired taste? Fair enough. Why not whet your appetite with Bimba y Lola's lemon charm scarf - an amuse-bouche for the time-strapped and style-centric?
Add zest to a t-shirt and jeans; dangle from a bag handle or elevate a ballerina bun. Their papaya nylon shopper bag is on-brand for a market stroll.
Ditto for Zara's produce-inspired necklaces, which look surprisingly sexy over a swimsuit. Now, who said you can't wear your five-a-day?

Next's €45 trendy tomato print shirt hailed 'ideal' loose summer fit
Fashion trends come and go in the snap of a finger, and this summer, we move away from the butter yellow trend and into tomato print. High street giant Next is also calling it one of the three "need-to-know" summer trends alongside Amalficore and brown tones. From tomato-embroidered clutches to salad-themed co-ords, the Tomato Graphic Long Sleeve 100% Cotton Relaxed Lightweight Shirt stands out from the crowd and has amassed a solid customer rating of 4.8 out of five. The fun print has given the subtle pinstripe shirt a twist, with a tomato and basil graphic on the front chest pocket and a bigger graphic at the back. Deemed a "must-have holiday piece," the long-sleeve shirt is available online for €49.50. READ MORE: 'Best teeth whitening treatment' that's half price works in '7 days' READ MORE: Charlotte Tilbury cult 'magic' cream slashed to 'unheard of' €42 in huge summer sale It comes in both regular and petite fit and shoppers can pick between UK6 and 20 depending on stock availability. The 100% cotton fabric helps keeping customers cool and comfortable and the breathable fabric is absorbent, which means it can help wick away sweat whether you're hiking up a Greek island or strolling at a food fest in Lisbon. Elsewhere at Oliver Bonas, they offer a Cream and green Striped Tomato Print Short-Sleeve Shirt, €66, which comes as a coordinated set with matching shorts. The print is subtle and dotted along the dark green stripes, with details like an open collar neckline and turn-up sleeves for a laid-back feel. Fancy wearing tomato print on a date? Nobody's Child has a lovely White Tomato Print Frill Top to offer, and it's currently on sale, reducing to €42. If shoppers put in code EXTRA15 at checkout, this brings the price further down to €35.70. Designed in a relaxed fit and with a classic shirt collar, the button-down top is something shoppers reach for time and time again in summer. Wear it with denim shorts and trainers for an easy daytime look, or throw it over swimsuits and use it as a beachwear cover-up. The back of the shirt has large tomato and basil graphics Social media users were over the moon with one saying: "Obsessed, this is my type of collection for sure." Another said it is serving "ultimate summer feeling". Customers who bought the shirt were also satisfied with their purchase. A five-star shopper said: "Nice and light. Great for the afternoon in or out of the wine bar or along the promenade with the girls day out." "Lovely lightweight material, super colours and motif. It is oversized and slightly longer than normal shirts but I think it could double up as a cover up over swimwear," a second shared with a four-star review but some said they would not consider buying the top because of the price as one said: "Next has upped the price a lot and I can find something cheaper elsewhere." But a customer disagreed and added: "The quality is superb and the colours are vibrant. Value for my money. I would recommend this as an extra for your summer wardrobe. It can be worn with many accessories and you will feel eyes on you as they admire your outfit." Another shared: "I bought it for my wife and she loves it. It's an ideal loose summer fit too."
