The balmy summer weather is upon us at last! With temperatures rising, it’s often harder to put chic looks together when we’d rather be wearing nothing at all. Luckily this season’s hottest looks were filled with great pieces that also happened to bare some skin. Although it can be tricky to achieve that perfect summer ensemble while staying cool and looking appropriate, there are plenty of options.

dress

Breezy dresses can be found everywhere and are great to keep you cool and looking stylish. Pair them with a lower heel, wedge or strappy flats to keep the look casual while staying feminine and flirty.

shorts

Shorts have made a huge comeback this season and come in an endless array of styles for different body types. Whether they are a tailored city cut, high-waisted and fitted, chambray denim, loose linen, or to-the-knee, with so much leg on show it’s important to balance out the silhouette by covering up on top. A billowy blouse, button-up shirt or tailored blazer will add some sophistication.

If shorts and minis are too much skin for you, try summer pants in full wide-legged or cropped cuts ideal for day-to-day wear in the city or on the beach. For a one-stop statement, maxi dresses in bold prints and colours epitomize bohemian effortlessness and can be dressed up or down.

Whatever your choice, don’t shy away from bold accessories like chunky jewelry, bright handbags and embellished footwear.

What colours are in for this season?

Now that spring is officially here, we can all look forward to more sun and the fresh, vibrant colours that come with the new season.

While men tend to gravitate to basic flattering colours such as greys, blacks, navies and whites, it is time this spring to add a splash of colour to your outfit.

Many of the fashion houses tend to conform to this standard, as these are commonly accepted as traditional colours for business attire. It is generally easier many busy executives to manage a grey and black wardrobe that does not require a lot of creativity. But, for those who have the inclination to experiment beyond simple greys and blacks and would like to be considered amongst the most stylish and up-to-date, there are several options to add greater variety of colour and style, while still maintaining a professional appearance.

Be on the look out for a colour named “Coffee Liquor”. This shade of brown is the shade you will see heavily in menswear and in men’s suits this season. Blue makes an appearance in casual, formal and beachwear as its versatility allows it to be utilized in a variety of ways. Beige was the biggest hit shared between men and women on the runway this year, so you can expect to see it quite a bit. This is the subtle and more blushy take on the pinks men like to wear, but since pink is now more widely accepted, spring will test the waters with violet as well.

Generally one would not expect to think of Vivienne Westwood, however this season, they are now offering many stylish suits for anyone who wants to break the mould. This season’s collection colors are kept light and breezy with pastels dominating the palette. Salmon, cream, and sky blues are used in various combinations. These are worn together as a suit and shirt ensemble.

Bear in mind that the cotton suits now available are more sophisticated, making them better suited for the office (business casual) or an evening out. If you want to keep it more conservative but sleek, a long sleeved dress shirt or sport shirt combined with a cotton blazer or sport coat can look fantastic with a well-fit pair of jeans. Opt for linen and cotton over polyester. Cotton (and linen, especially) you’ll find are much more breathable in the warmer weather.

This spring/summer the hot new shoe is none other than the strappy sandal.

These sandals allow not only provide complete comfort for your feet but also give you a very hip appearance. They come in various colors and are perfect with a pair of jeans or casual cotton trouser. They are bound to generate compliments outside the office.

 Which skirt to incorporate into your Wardrobe?

 Well, Spring is around the corner and one of the trendiest fashion items this season is the mini skirt. However ladies, don’t despair if you are not in love with your legs or feel a mini is too young for you, as the fitted pleated and pencil skirts are also a sure-fire way to add a dynamic new look to your wardrobe this season. This season is all about sensuality, so think prestigious fluid fabrics and slit skirts.

skirtzThe Mini-Skirt or Mini-Dress - though versatile and fun, the mini is reserved for casual and evening occasions. Try a knit mini in a neutral colour with a fitted tank in a bright turquoise to create a chic day wear look, and don’t be afraid to stand out in a elegant mini-dress, belted at the waist for that evening party. Choose a drapey fabric that skims rather than clings to your shape. Add a sexy heel to perfectly finish your long-legged silhouette.

The Pleated Skirt - pleated skirts are everywhere and every length this spring and their beauty is that they flatter all figures. You can opt for a mini with pin tuck pleats or for a more versatile look that can carry over to the office, opt for a knee length skirt, slightly flared at the knee with box pleats. Combine it with a fitted, brightly coloured collared shirt or silk blouse for a stylish, professional look. Keep the top simple, so no big prints or embellishments as the pleated skirt itself will be the highlight. Be sure to complete the ensemble with a fabulous waist belt to enhance your femininity.

It’s professional and trendy all in one and works for most body types. Whether your more slender or curvy, the pencil skirt will create a flattering, feminine classic silhouette. Combine it with a colourful underpinning and a fitted black jacket for a simple up-to-date elegant look. A pencil skirt accentuates the waist and the jacket should do the same, so ensure the jacket or separate blazer is fitted properly. Make sure it is knee-length or falls just below the knees, but is not longer than that. Otherwise it will look frumpy. Choose a style with a slit for an extra touch of feminine. Finish off your stylish, sleek look with bold, colourful accessories. Opt for heels in a colour other than black to give an fashion forward edge to a monochromatic ensemble.
