FASHION SPEAK MINI MAGIC The summer mini finds a special place on the beach or for a resort holiday. White plays an important role, with lace being the favoured fabric. One of the cutest additions in the wardrobe is a white strappy mini worn with scalloped shorts. The simple printed shift or a white long-sleeved 96 I APPAREL I May 2019 shirt dress looks great, as one steps out of the pool and moves for brunch. Another white embroidered strappy top with sheer shorts or a pretty sack dress with painted flowers is one of the freshest options to look for. An elasticated round neck for a printed top with a peplum hem goes really well with white shorts. For a beach cover soon after a refreshing swim, it’s the lacy white mini that will get all the compliments as the lady tans under palm trees. Cutwork on white is the most feminine look for a white mini with three-quarter length sleeves that will look amazing under the blazing sun. Perky and flirty is a white cutwork empire-line mini with a flared skirt that will create magic on the sands. The bright multi-coloured floral mini has to be part of any beachwear fashion chart, while the sheer, tiered mini with a tasselled hem and embroidered posies is a perfect poolside cover.
