summer styling ideas - part1

 

1. Crop tops

Nothing screams 'summer' quite like crop tops - the top du jour for SS21. Layer a bandeau style under a blazer jacket (Hermes) for a warm-weather take on tailoring, or try a printed bralette style (Alberta Ferreti, Jacquemus, Versace, Dior), which will look right at home when trips to the seaside resume. Alternatively, embrace all things 'extra' with statement puffy sleeves and embellishment (Isabel Marant, Versace) for evening cocktail vibes.

2. Puffy sleeves

Voluminous sleeves are back for another season and, to be honest, we couldn't be happier about the larger-than-life detail sticking around. Wear with statement trousers (Isabel Marant, Alberta Ferreti) for a fun 'day to night' look, or with short shorts and sexy split skirts (Jacquemus, Alberta Ferreti) for sun-worshipping park hangs. And the puffy sleeve midi trend ain't going anywhere, folks, with soft white cotton or silky leather options offering a fresh spin on the laid-back look (Gabriela Hearst, Isabel Marant).

3. Pastel

When shopping for new season buys, designers are looking to ice cream shops for inspo. Soft sorbet hues bring a little sweetness to everything from billowing maxi dresses (Alberta Ferreti, Fendi) to dungarees (Isabel Marant) and even trouser suits (BOSS).
