Summer Chic - your summer essentials

'Here comes the sun'!!! We show you how to stay chic this Spring/Summer in sun soaked days and balmy evenings.

Summer is the time to flaunt your fab figure and to go playful with all the bright hues. And girls with a generous side need not sulk, as smart summer styling will hide your flaws and accentuate your strenghts.


Shorts StyleEffortlessly stylish - simply pull-on a pair of denim shorts and an easy tank. Team it with smart slingbag, comfy flat sandals or wedges and a pair of summer sunglasses and you're ready to rock.

Wear your shorts to a party by dressing them up like Eva with a nice pair of heels and a clutch or keep it casual with basic white tee or nautical stripes for some fun look. What ever way you wear, it's definitely going to be stylish and keep you comfy in the heat.

Your choice of accessories will be the key to your shorty look so make sure you pick the best. You can wear your shorts with a white silk shirt (tucked in) for a more feminine look. You can wear this look from outdoor soirees to pool parties and just look perfect..

Our Picks


.
Kain Washed tank top for $155, Joe's Jeans The Destroyed Short in Brigitte for $143, Aldo Otega sunglasses for $12, Aubin & WillsWellingham Straw Panama Hat for £54 (Aldo Mallinger hat for $20) and Aldo Wyatta Beaded Gladiator Sandals for £45.

White Wash
Nothing says summer like a white ensemble. Replace your LBDs with LWD (little whote dress) or team white separates to create a chic head-to-toe white look like Blake Lively. A summery white dress can be worn from day-to-night with the right accessories. And the best part is, a white dress will complement that tan you’ve been working on over the last few weeks.

Work minimalism with a elegant white blouse teamed with white pants, add statement gold jewelry for a sophisticated evening look. And if you've watched the Royal Wedding, you know lace is this season's hot fav. And what can be a better way to work the lace than wearing it in white (like Taylor Swift). A nice short white lace dress styled with an elegant belt can be worn for the day and teamed with a white jacket (Stella McCartney) for the evening look.

Girls if you're worried that 'white will make you look fat', pick a different hue to white like cream, ivory, beige to flaunt the style. Absolutely anyone can work this trend perfectly with ease. And just like black, white works with almost everything.
.

Stripes
Add fun to your summer wardrobe with stripes - they are versatile and can be worn by everyone and with everything. Team a striped tee with your jeans, shorts or a skirt, pick a stylish striped dress, pair your stripes with other prints (abstract, geometric) - there's no dearth of options.

We think the best way to wear the stripe trend is to wear a stripe tee under a blazer and team it with smart trousers or jeans.

.
Flower Power
Bring your summer look into full bloom with all things floral. Floral prints are an epitome of spring/summer chic. Read Botanical Love - Florals for Spring and Winter for how to wear the floral look.
