Piccadilly Gardens on a sunny day brings out the best in Manchester summer fashion.

We could NOT have carried on without some styling tips from the lovely Grace.

Between the cute indie romper, her Rosie the Riveter bandana and ombre hair we could lean a thing or two about summer style. She is a smart lady, shopping vintage and local to keep up her indie image. We noticed her Gryffindor socks, which is a rarity for to wear matching socks.

In her own immortal words "Life is too short for matching socks!"

Art students are always bold and stunning in their style. We were particularly taken with Ruby and her lime look. With so much happening, you would thin it would be too busy an outfit. Nope! This is a brilliant balance of bold colour and Strong geometric patterns that mesh amazing. A combo of old and new with some Blue Rinse thrown in too.Even pulling of the often kitsch socks and sandals with flair! Ruby, you are a diamond in the rough!

We bumped into Ronan in Afflecks and had to snap a photo because he looked so cool!

After quizzing him about where he got his outfit from; Primark pants, fab River Island jacket and, of course, Doc Martins. But we also found out he is a budding fashion designer in his own right - wearing one of his own designs, a hand drawn portrait of Audrey Hepburn printed on a plain t-shirt.

Brilliant to see a local example of fashion stretching to the streets and becoming a passion!
