No doubt sorbet shades are the ultimate match to your summer tan. And not just as a boll in an icecream cup. A solid SS2018 wardrobe should definitely include some pastel pieces. To get your inspired we’ve selected some runway looks in every shade or the sorbet rainbow. From Hermes and Valentino to Dries van Noten and Galliano. And there’s even a trend within this trend; combining pastels! Like we saw at Céline and Delpozo. Light, fresh and high season ready; what flavours will you choose?
It’s sexy without wearing a tight dress and high heels. It’s about showing off different body parts that have a high level of sensuality/sexiness. Like the ankle/heel we spoke about shoulders and collar bones work the same kind of magic. So off shoulder dresses go up in the effortless femininity category. Perfect for dinner nights, those loose dresses let you eat as many courses as you like. And perfect for showing off some (beautifully tanned) skin and give that new necklace or pair of earrings some extra spotlight. And you might think: well we’ve seen this season after season. Yet there is a new twist to this trend! Underneath that off shoulder can be a sexy piece of lingerie subtly showing through/popping up. Giambattista Valli gives you the ultimate example. A little lace piece or just a tiny sexy strap giving you a hing of what’s underneath it all. So off shoulder with some li la lingerie shining through.
If we have to name the ultimate streetwear item of this season it would have to be the blazer. It was all over the streets of New York, Milan and Paris. Boxy, oversized tweed blazers in particular. To give a scrunchyy look that formal twist. To top off an elegant look. Or to form the ultimate contrast with this summer’s feather/fur skirt. Rock it as a suit with matching pants and for those hot summer days with no pants at all! Might you need style advice on this Balenciaga inspired piece? Just click through our streetwear images.
Long, short, floral printed, sleeveless, stone washed, deep blue or bleached; the denim jacket comes in many shapes and sizes. And thus giving everyone the opportunity to rock this trend to the fullest. So will it be that oversized vintage Levi’s version? Or are you opting for last year’s Balenciaga jacket? And do you dare to go for some denim on denim? Or will it be the touch touch to your floral summer dress?
After midriffs, under boobs, color bones and buttocks the most sexy parts to show off this summer are your ankle and your heel. And so slingbacks and slippers are all the rage the upcoming months. In shiny pink satin or patent red, velvet, fur lined or Swarovski encrusted; looking sexy yet careless and cool was never this easy. Best combined with a statement skirt or a pair of ripped jeans. And the best part? In those kitten heels you’ll easily be able to strut around all day. Good shoes take you good places. There’s no denying that.
If last season was all about grey colored tweed suits, for summer keep it crispy in an all white suit. Fully buttoned with a shirt underneath (as seen at Jil Sander and Acne) or a little (a lott) more seductive like the way Tom Ford pictured it. Either way a full on white suit can make you look sharp and summer proof at the same time. Shoes and bags can be the touches of color. You just make sure you don’t spill any coffee in that business meeting you’re gonna kill wearing that suit.
Who ever still holds on to the thought red and pink make for a bad color combination should think again. After a few seasons of absence it’s a thing again this season. Oscar de la Renta, Coach and Isabel Marant it can look both tough and girly. No powder colors or faded shades; opt for bright and keep it vivid. Go all out with shoes, bags and accessories like Isabel Marant or keep it clean and focus on the clothes as seen at Oscar de la Renta. Think pink and look red hot!
We could see Megan Markle or Kate Middleton rock any of these designs in the near future. Given that these summer dresses are a great fit for a summer tea party with the (royal) family. Knee length and chest covered, black and white; very British, very modest. Quite the classic tea dress attire, but as for SS2018 very on trend as well. Marc Jacobs crazy spike hairdo aside this trend translates perfectly into any modern day woman’s wardrobe. A colored pump to match and it’s tea time (to party)!
Want to add a little of drama to your outfit? Opt for some asymetrical necklines. It just breathes sexiness and seductiveness and can stress just the right parts of your upper body. Haider Ackermann and Prabal Gurung showed how light shades like white and yellow can create the ultimate asymmetry on a female body. While Calvin Klein and Isabel Marant proved those lines work well in black and at nighttime too. A trend that says summertime as well as partytime. Now let’s get ready to create some asymmetrical tanlines to match!
If a dress should be anything this summer it would be ruching. Tight, body hugging and ruching that is. Making both the silhouette and fabric look even more interesting. Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford and Peter Pilotto showed their ruching designs in the prettiest pastel shades. Sorbet sweet and extremely feminine. Nice little side note: you can eat that extra plate that might make your dress wrinkle even more and no one will notice. No need to iron and not (even) suitable for ironing either. Just look ravishing while ruching along.
