FAIRY TALE SUMMER STYLE

By Felicia Mancini

It is that time of year again and romance is in the air, or at the very least it should be in your closet. After yet another horrid winter, it’s now time to ditch the drab for some fairytale fashion for the modern woman. ‘Tis the season to bid farewell to skin tight spandex for figure flattering items and flowing fabrics and it has never been a better time to fall in love and take a few risks with yourself and your style.
Romanesque maxi dresses are a pivotal and practical part of any woman’s closets thanks to delicate draping that pairs well with the everlasting gladiator style skyscrapers or sandals depending on the occasion. Sheer fabrics and crinkled chiffons set the tone as extravagance and classicality have given birth to summer’s clean cut style that is not without an edge.
Infusing dainty garments such as crinkled chiffon with structured yet slightly unconventional pieces is the way to go, as mixed of pretty patterns, fabrics and floral invade runways and sidewalks alike. Everything from leather to lace to pattern clashing is game, as splashes of colours are taking a few steps away from the past seasonal trends of androgyny.
This summer, it is forbidden for curves to be hidden as the days of minimalism are gone for now thanks to structured designs and accentuated silhouettes. Dare to glitter by wearing gold and metallic because less isn’t more, especially not with statement jewelry from layered ethnic inspired necklaces to chunky earrings. As far as footwear goes, go big or go home.
Be confident, be comfortable and be fearless when seeking your summer wardrobe pieces. With a season filled with romance and risks, go and make the most out of it by turning a few heads on the concrete runway we call our lovely city. V
