Summer fashion essentials

What are the trendy colors for the summer season? Where do you get your inspiration and ideas from?
Don’t be afraid to experiment with color. Monochromatic color schemes are stylish and will always be on the high end of fashion, but it’s time to break out.
One of the hottest colors to look out for is coral. So vibrant and generally suits most skin types. Orange, jade, and bright yellow are popping up everywhere too. If you are not so sure about wearing such bright colors, choose accessories, shoes, bags or adorn yourself with beautiful jewelry.
Look up ideas online at websites like ASOS, Net a Porter. Online magazines like InStyle, Vogue or Elle, see what celebrities are wearing. What was fashionable on the catwalk?
Be brave, mix textures and patterns.
Temper your outfit by tempering your bold and colorful pieces by pairing them with black basics. A beautiful coral dress with black accessories or the other way around, a classic little black dress combined with sassy accessories and you have an instant wow factor.
Swimsuit: essential for you to feel comfortable. If you don’t have that perfect body bikini, don’t despair. There are some amazing tankini or one piece outfits that you can mix and match colors and styles. Go for an eye-catching beach dress, either in a bold color (choose your swimsuit color) or in a crochet / lace style. Pair with a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, an eye-catching pair of flip flops, and a beach bag.
Shorts: Look for street style shorts, knee length or shorts for mature women, they are just as sexy as short shorts!
Skirts: This is summer, so the more fabric in the skirt, the better, it should move with you when you walk, it should feel feminine. Asymmetric hems are all the rage this season. Try before you buy!
Day dresses / sun dresses. The ‘Royal Wedding’ drew exclamations of adoration as Kate walked down the aisle in her stunning Sarah Burton lace gown for Alexander McQueen. Fashionistas and designers around the world were frantically trying to copy or design for the high street and shops; stylish / vintage creations.

Shrug v pashmina or both! Short cropped jacket or crochet lace cardigan. The choice is yours. Experiment with styles and shapes.
Pants: linen, linen, linen. Pants must be partially or fully lined to avoid wrinkling too easily. Look for a cotton blend to minimize wrinkles. Silk Hareem pants are elegant and beautiful. It can be worn with heels or with a flat sandal with rhinestones.
