Get styled for summer
An insight into
summer trends
with local designer,
Hayley Rhind
of White Chalk.
It feels like summer has decided to grace us early with these
lovely warm Marlborough days. It’s already time to start thinking
of the wonderful summer events and special occasions coming
up, but wait, have you got your summer wardrobe sorted? There
is nothing more deflating when you throw open your wardrobe
doors feeling excited about an impending event you can get
dressed up for, only to find that there is nothing jumping out at
you saying - “pick me, I’d be perfect”
Luckily, like many local retailers, White Chalk is currently
dropping their new season summer styles like it’s hot!

Hayley, owner and designer of the White Chalk range has her
fingers on the pulse when it comes to knowing what is hot and
what’s not, especially for busy women wanting to feel wonderful
wherever they go.
Hayley points out that v-necks, cold shoulder (which is open
cut sleeves), and off the shoulder tops are definitely the ‘on
trend’ style. Both styles either accentuate the neckline or the
bare shoulder, allowing the wearer to feel a little more carefree,
especially with the heat of summer.
What about fabric styles and colours that will work together? It’s
all about larger prints, stripes & florals. “Go bold, is the theme
of this season” says Hayley. “There is no hard and fast rule
about putting different patterns together, if it works then wear
it! Don’t be afraid to overindulge in the different shapes and
colours a piece flaunts, you’ll love the way they work together”.
