(Summer) clothes for everyone!
First things first! Sexy comes in all shapes, sizes and skin tones. And though it has taken quite a while, the fashion industry is finally starting to embrace inclusivity. Don’t be discouraged from wearing sleeveless, short, brightly-coloured or more daring items. You are beautiful just the way you are and you should take pride in who you are. There is no ''if'' in ''you've got it''... just flaunt it! Having said that, let’s get started.
Short, shorter, shortest
Warmer weather is finally here and after spending the better part of a
year in comfy loungewear and sweatpants, we are all ready to embrace some
sexier styles for summer. Well hello, mini skirt! Even though we love maxi
dresses and skirts, this season is all about the short variety. A dream come
true for all sixties lovers. Having doubts whether your skirt might be TOO
short? Then it’s actually totally on-trend for summer 2022! Let’s take a look
back at the origins of this still popular fashion trend.
In the early 1960s women hardly wore trousers anymore and the mini skirt
started to appear in more and more shop windows. The young ladies that were
bold enough to wear these daring skirts, were referred to as the ''Ya-Ya
girls'', a term derived from ''yeah, yeah'', which was a much-used catcall at
the time. Fashion designers Mary Quant and André Courrèges made their designs
shorter and shorter, setting a new trend. By 1966 the skirt was at its
shortest, so short it was even referred to as 'micro skirt''. The mini skirt
stayed in fashion, but by the end of the 1960s the length of the skirt often
went from short to long and thus the midi and maxi skirts were born.
Mini skirts are an excuberant and flirty trend. And the mini skirt has many fabulous advantages.
One being that it makes your legs look endless! But it’s not just your legs
that are endless when wearing a mini, so are the ways of styling this beauty! Opt
for a full-out sixties Twiggy look with a tight top and a wide belt or go for
an oversized sweater or blouse and rock this youthful trend in style. And last
but not least... this trend is also perfect for warm weather. Keeping cool
never looked more stylish! But don’t worry, we are happy to have those maxi dresses and skirts dance along
in the background and of course you can still find those in our shop ;-).
You can never have too many stripes
It’s true… we’ve never met a stripe we didn’t like! This cute and
much-loved design has been a trend since forever, but it’s even more popular
when the summer rolls around. ;-). Dresses, skirts, tops, blouses and even bags
and shoes, stripes are everywhere and a real fashion staple. Of course, we are
all familiar with the classic stripe, but this season you can have your pick of
any stripe you like whether it’s horizontal, vertical or even diagonal. My favourite?
All of them!
All aboard? Because I want to draw your attention to the nautical or
Breton stripe… because that’s the stripe pattern that’s really hot and
happening again right now! Opt for a luxurious, comfortable and glamorous
Cruise look by pairing a stripe top with breezy, summery palazzo trousers or
create a cute sailor girl look by matching a stripe top with navy-blue capri pants
and red accessories. Multi-coloured stripes are also making a splash this summer.
This season’s fashion trends are quite diverse and so are the trend colours. There’s
lots of bright colours for the bold ladies among us, but you can also have your
pick of more muted colours. There is something for everyone really.
It’s also an advantage that stripes can be easily paired with other
items, minimising the risk of a mismatch and helping you to create a different
look in an instant. Goodbye fashion faux pas and styling struggles! Using
different accessories will help you transform your office look into a dinner
date outfit in no time! Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the versatile
stripe design in all its guises. ;-)
Fresh outfit, fresh start
Even though bright colours are everywhere this season, white is also back. One of the
latest trends that is quite tricky for me, since I can make a little bit of an
unintended mess sometimes ;-) but it’s perfect for the less clumsy ladies among
us. White symbolises new beginnings and immediately brightens up your outfit. Now
that we are slowly but surely moving on from the pandemic, it’s time for a
fresh start. And that’s exactly what we’ll be doing when it comes to our
wardrobe: out with the dark tones and in with the white items!
We either wear head-to-toe white or match white items with other neutral
hues. Create a fifties look with wide trousers, a blouse and white pumps or opt
for a playful, groovy seventies look with flared trousers, a crop top and white
sandals. Match your outfit with light and warm hues to add a touch of boho
style. Don’t feel like going all-in? No worries! White items really go with
everything and that means they are never wasted, regardless of trends. An
investment that you will enjoy for years to come. ;-).
