Summer's Sizzling Style Secrets
Hot Summer Fashion Tips Every Woman Should Know This Season
Apr 20, 2008
The summer season brings out the fashion diva in everyone. This year, accessorize with natural and organic touches of colour. Adorn your summer skin with sparkling stones and chunky beads carved of wood or glass for bangles, earrings, stones and trinkets. Accessorizing with rock and stone jewellery is a great way to add a punch of color and drama to your wardrobe, but still keep with this season's natural look.
It's not guaranteed you'll fit into them, let alone walk in them, but this season's sandals are stunning: jewelled and glittering, studded and sequinned, flat, strapped or stiletto. Another hot item this summer is a pair of big, bug-eyed and bewitching sunglasses. There are plenty of boutiques in which to snag a pair of flattering frames this summer. Or hide from the heat under the wide and wavy rim of a sophisticated sun hat or behind the visor of a sporty summer cap. Rather than toting around a sweaty leather purse this summer, ease your load with cotton, wicker or canvas style bags.
This season’s top ten staple items:
- Classic Sunglasses – The bigger the better, as bold is definitely back
- Bling – Whether they’re real or faux, it's a sure bet that diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend
- Great-Fitting Jeans – Turn them up or down, add flash with camis and heels or dress them down
- Classic Cami Tops – Perfect for a day at the beach or an afternoon at the mall
- Floral Dress – Get soft and feminine in chiffon, silk or cotton this season
- Waist Belt – Perfect for that floral dress or to accessorize a classic shirt
- A-line Skirt – The smooth line is figure-flattering around the hips and the ‘50s style is timeless
- Black Trousers – For a classic stylish appeal that will carry you through a myriad of social situations
- Stilettos – To take you from day to night, whether you wear them with jeans or a dress
- Handbag – This season the bags are big and bold with a focus on designer detail and vibrant colour
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but unusual pieces made with jade, silver and gold get their share of attention as well. Big necklaces are in with the Hollywood glitterati. Accessories are key to every look this season, so remember the three Bs (big, bold and bright) to keep the winter blues at bay.
