This season’s
fashion looks good
enough to eat…
the best possible
River Island
Summer this year is all
about frivolity. Think
irreverent ice cream
shades good enough to
eat: vanilla, violet,
pistachio. Lovely and
lickable too!
If this is too much
sweetness, take a dive
for the dark with deep
blue denim. We saw it at Fendi, Chanel, Calvin Klein and a
whole host of others. And for under that dark blue denim
jacket? Dare to bare! This season is all about exposing
yourself. Yes, that’s right! Sheer skirts, sheer dresses and
sheer blouses. Just make sure you invest in some decent
underwear. Or better still, wear your underwear
as outerwear. That ’90s
vibe is strong this year
with bra tops, net
bodies and
basques all
featuring on
the catwalk.
No, it’s
not the
season for
shyn ess. And
if sheer doesn’t appeal, then why not
rock those primary colours? They were
here last year and they’re here again. So
splash those paintbox brilliants and be
bolder than bold. We want colour pops of
yellows, blues, reds and greens. Flaunt
bright boots and bags with tea dresses
and you’ll be bang on trend.
But do not fear! Plastic is still
fantastic. Chanel, Chloe, Isabel
Marant, Burberry and Calvin Klein
have returned to clear waterproof
wear yet again this year. Perfect for
our British summer. You’ll be
drenched, yes, but oh so chic.
Have you heard?
Even cowgirls get the
blues! This year’s
fashion rodeo features
fringes upon fringes.
We’ve got fringed
leather biker jackets,
suede skirts and
tasseled leather bags
everywhere. Don’t
forget those
embellished cowgirl
shirts too. Gun and
holster optional.
Yeehaw!
If all that
gunpowder has you
hankering after
something altogether
more feminine, then get your sashay on: the pencil skirt
reigns supreme. Think Mad Men, think kitten
heels and white ankle socks and you’ll be in
feminine fashion heaven. And if that’s not
enough fem for you, then get ruffling. Ruffled
necklines, ruffled sleeves, ruffled cuffs. Only
this season you’ll be teaming that pencil skirt
and those ruffles with a bum bag. Yes, that’s
right: the ’80s classic has
officially been raised
from the dead.
Who doesn’t
love a bum bag? Right? Right?
If the purse strings are tight
this year, then do not
fear: old staples still
abound. Pack
away your
winter
wardrobe and
dig out trench
coats, stripes and
pastel colours.
Dust off that trench, get your Breton
on and your beret too and you’ll be
chicer than a French poodle and ready
to strut your stuff!
It’s not the season for
shyness. And if sheer
doesn’t appeal, then
why not rock those
primary colours?

gets tough,
fashion gets fun.
