Don’t be a wallflower – go for minimum lines and maximum colour this summer
Patrizia Pepe Sandals Price: £185 Stockist: ASOS www.asos.com
Get used to it ladies, because whilst gladiator sandals might still be retaining their place as our favourite summer shoe, this season’s sandals are all about clean lines (à la Jil Sander), neon colours and multiple buckles. Think Louboutin’s tangerine-coloured wedges or this turquoise pair from Patrizia Pepe.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag Price: £315 Stockist: Start Boutique www.start-london.com
Churning out ultra-modernist clothes with a vintage twist is Marc Jacob’s speciality, and this bag is no exception. Resurrecting a style better associated with prim matrons of bygone days, Jacobs adds a pillar-box red finish, et voila it’s the bag of the season.
Lanvin Strapless Dress Price: £780 Stockist: Browns www.brownsfashion.com
Alber Elbaz’ show for Lanvin’s Spring Summer collections was a swirl of ruffles, feathers and brightly coloured chiffon. With a seemingly spooky insight into what we gals want to wear before we even know that we want to wear it, the man’s done good with this strapless gathered gown in the perfect shade of fuchsia.
Ella Cardigan Price: £50 Stockist: French Connection www.fcukbuymail.com
If you can look past the cringey, branded tee-shirts and memories of drunken teens, French Connection’s coming up trumps with some pretty fashion forward clothes this season. This cardigan has the brights trend down to a tee.
Orange Mini Skirt Price: £22 Stockist: Warehouse www.warehouse.co.uk
Get two trends in one with this full and swishy skating-style skirt in an eye-popping shade of orange.
Ray Ban Wayfarers Price: £120 Stockist: Topshop www.topshop.com
If you thought (or hoped) the Wayfarer had had its day, think again. Still seen decorating the most famous of faces on both sides of the pond, this classic shape is just as big in 2008 as it was last year. If taking the plunge, go for the original (and the best) from Ray Bans – in red, black, white or yellow….
Marni Resin Brooches Price: £95 Stockist: Net-A-Porter www.net-a-porter.com
These Marni brooches – in the prettiest shades of turquoise – are fab for adding neon colour to an otherwise drab get-up. Frivolous? Yes. Gorgeous? Totally.
Chloe Silk Blouse Price: £320 Stockist: Browns www.brownsfashion.com
The Chloe spring collections were full of so many gotta-have-em things, that it’s hard to pick out just one. New recruit Paulo Melim Andersson retained much of the brand’s traditional prettiness, but added a hipper, cooler edge to the clothes. Think painter’s stripes, washed out 80s style neons and patent sandals for the Chloe look.
Blue Ruffle Dress Price: £38 Stockist: Miss Selfridge www.missselfridge.com
If the whole geometric, straight-edged vibe is giving you cold sweats (i.e. you’ve actually got some curves), then opt for something frilly and feminine like this button-up dress from Miss Selfridge. The ruffles hide a multitude of sins don’t you know?
Corsage Dress Price: £45 Stockist: Oli www.oli.co.uk
Blame the imminent return of Carrie Bradshaw to the big screen if you will, but corsages are making a serious comeback for summer, and we’re not complaining. Stick them on jackets, tees or dresses like this bubble-hemmed one from Oli.
