Get set for summer with the key looks you need to know now. These easy additions are all you need to be style savvy right through to AW15/16.
Denim is a staple. That one, short sentence can save your life in style. Find the right denim look for you; whether it’s dark selvedge jeans or light wash skinny cut then elaborate. No longer to be avoided, double denim is the new uniform.
The easiest way to adapt is with a denim shirt at the helm. The tone is important, a great way to work the all denim look is to mix up the washes. A personal favourite is a workwear look with tough, dark selvedge jeans. Here you can even add a structured denim jacket to really up your denim game.
Next up, the colour blue from head to toe. Here’s another fast track into the SS15 street-style books. You can mix denim in here too. Tonal dressing has been prevalent through street and celeb style this season and top to toe blue works the summer’s’ trend into your wardrobe without fuss. For the casual dressers among you, opt for an indigo jean paired with a light blue shirt and dark blue sweater. This gives you layering options and you can change your cuts depending on the event. For the preppy, a navy blue polo teamed with a blue chino short and blue boat shoes will give you the Hampton’s meets Riviera vibe. And for the inevitable summer wedding try a suit in a pastel shade of blue, with navy blue suede loafers and a dark blue T-shirt, you’ll be the hottest (and most stylish) guest in attendance.
Safari – so good? Summer after summer we see the safari trend emerging on the catwalk and it’s not an easy one to work, that is, without looking like your geography teacher. But this season, you can add cargo pants to the trend. They give not only a nod but a huge wave to the workwear trend too so, a good buy. This versatile trouser can be worn in denim, khaki or camel with the latter being great to wear if you are actually heading out on safari! Otherwise they’re the practical summer pants, from the extra storage to the lightweight canvas they come in. Team yours with a white T and denim jacket for an urban explorer feel.
