The Top Four Summer Style Classics

IT'S JUNE! Rainy season is coming but the summer heat is still on. I'm lucky enough to live in a tropical country like Philippines where it feels like summer all year long. The good thing is I can wear airy, carefree, flowery and fun clothes anytime.

Summer is the time of year when the latest fashions come to the forefront. But it can be hard to pick styles that suit you. If you want to follow this season’s trends, and keep your look chic and classic, invest in the top four summer style classics. Just visit the www.littlewoods.com for all your styling needs.

Shorts

Finding the right shorts to suit your body shape can be a nightmare. But "classic denim shorts" in the right cut look great on everyone. If you’re tall and thin, short shorts will look great with floaty floral tops and gladiators. If you want to lengthen your leg, choose mid-thigh shorts and wear with wedges and a fitted top. For a smart look that you could get away with at the office, choose tailored dark denim that stops just above the knee, and wear with a crisp white shirt, loafers, brogues or heels.


White vest

A white vest is essential for summer because it’s so versatile. You can team a white vest with shorts, wear it under a shirt or blazer, or pair it with a pretty summer skirt. Using a white vest as a base, you can dress up any outfit with necklaces, belts and bangles, or keep it simple during the day. You can even team it with a sarong skirt and hippy beads for a great holiday look.

Summer dress

Everyone needs a summer dress that makes them look and feel great, and a 1950’s cut with nipped-in waist and loose skirt looks good on all body shapes. Go full-on retro with costume jewellery and a bolero jacket, or choose a leather belt and flats for a more casual style. The fifties cut will never go out of style, meaning you’ll be able to wear it again and again.

Light trousers

If you want a pair of summer trousers that will help you look slimmer and taller, choose a wide leg pant with a high waist. This cut flatters every figure and can be easily worn at night or during the day. For a casual look that ties in with this year’s 1920’s trend, team wide leg navy trousers with espadrilles, a nautical tee and bracelets. Lace is big this summer, so you could try combining your trousers with wedges, a silky cami with lace detail, or a lace bolero.
