Sheer
L-R Christopher Kane, House Of Holland, Temperley London, Erdem
Sheer panelling seemed to be everywhere to me and I will
admit I always will love it as a trend as it can carry you through seasons and
add a touch of girlishness without being frilly. It can lighten up a heavy
garment and if the fabric is right give you an ethereal floaty look. For SS it
has been used to add length without heaviness and to give a degree of coverage
to peek-a-boo styles.
Yellow
L-R Erdem, Issa London, Jenny Packham, Meadham Kirchoff
I don’t know why but yellow seemed to jump out at me on the
Spring-Summer catwalks. Its bright and cheerful and came in shades between
lemon sorbet to sunflower. Depending on your skin tone depends on if you can
wear this shade as you could end up looking ill. If yellow is a tone you know
you can’t pull off consider using it to accessorise rather than as a clothing
item, this is what I will be doing.
Shorts
L-R Paul Smith, Sass and Bide, Matthew Williamson, Zoe Jackson
Always wanting to give an alternative to dresses, shorts
seemed to be making a comeback but we are not talking about denim hot pants
here, we are talking about city shorts. Longer and looser than hot pants making
the city short easy to wear for day or night. Wear with a tank, hat and heels
like at Zoe Jordan for a sporty paired down day chic or with a shirt and jacket
for evening sophistication.
Monochrome
L-R Acne, Michael Van der Ham, Topshop Unique, Jasper Conran
Black and white will always be a year round staple for me. It
is timeless, effortless but always seems to be the epitome of chicness and can easily
be accessorised as you don’t have the worry of ill matching colours and can be
brightened with a pair of shoes or bag to give some night-time glamour. Use patterns
to give a pop to your outfit or go all out with a monochrome floral patterned
suit for some extra pizazz!

The only issue I have with the sheer paneling is that the high street brands always use a cheap fabric, it snags and can be horrid to iron. It is a pain as it always looks so cute :/.
ReplyDeleteI surprisingly love the yellow. Very bizarre since I usually steer clear of it, possibly as I have a yellow/olive tone to my skin.
Great run down x
Yes i agree, high street can make it look cheap horrid and snag so easily. I dont have nearly enough of it in my wardrobe for this reason.
DeleteYellow is not the best tone for me because of my complexion, unless i go to something like marigold or sunflower yellow i look seriously ill.
Thanks for your support x
