Style It: Summer Daze
The weather has been pretty erratic, vacillating between hot & humid and wet & humid. But Summer Days are here (apparently). This issue, our Curator puts together four looks that keep you cool and chic without looking sloppy.
Smart Fabrics
With the sweltering heat, the right fabrics to wear are of utmost importance. Opt for linens and high tech materials that can keep the sweat at bay.
Michael Michael Kors Two-toned woven shorts, SGD 114; Prada Leaf Appliqué Blouse, SGD200; Tabitha Simmons Dolly Cricket Striped Silk and Linen Lace-ups Sneakers, SGD90; Balenciaga Linen Motorcycle City Bag, SGD 700
Easy and Breazy
Casual and comfortable does not mean boring, a neutral toned silk dress with interesting detail or texture will set you apart from the crowd immediately. Pair it with a straw hat to shield the sun and brightly coloured espadrilles to make sure you’re prepared for a day of walking at the beach.
Chris Benz Fringe Tunic Dress, SGD 220; COMME DES GARÇONS Derby Straw Hat, SGD80; Christian Louboutin Galia Espadrilles, SGD 220
Chilly Daze
It may get chilly at the start of summer or maybe you’re one of the lucky few who is attending a music festival which goes on to the late night. The trusty and classic washed denim jacket is a must have in every summer wardrobe for its functionality and style.
D&G Tube Daisy Dress, SGD 250; Christian Dior Denim Jacket, SGD 180; Mansur Gavriel Lady Bag, SGD 1,200; Charlotte Olympia Marina Denim Sandals, SGD 200
Colour Me Summer
Summer is the best time to bring out the loudest colours and tropical prints as everyone is trying to outdo each other with vibrant hues. Don’t be afraid to go all out, save those dull colours for another season.
Clover Canyon Banana Scarf Dress, SGD 200; Fendi Micro Baguette, SGD 1,500; Bottega Venetta Strappy Platform Wedges, SGD 580
