WE’RE ALL IN THIS SEASON!

With the arrival of warmer weather and all the summer events on the horizon we’re ready to dive right in and we’re not holding back. I’ve ventured to some of your fave local boutiques to find the hottest trends and of course our seasonal classics.

The runways may have me pushing the envelope in my trend watch this season but as per usual it’s up to you how you choose to put your spin on it. I’m here to bring you the latest fashion but you absolutely have to make it your own. You’re free to write your own fashion story as we’ve tossed the age old ones style rules aside long ago. Don’t be afraid to make a solid statement.

Whether you’re strolling your favourite beach, hitting the office, or attending summer nuptials we’ve got all the style you need packed into our summer issue. Your fresh breezy go-tos get an update this season with some zesty new hues. It’s time to break out our pops of color and not hold back. We’re all in this season! You’ll see our guys are keeping it fresh with linen fabrics, stripes and their own color story to tell.

It’s clear the media has a hold of the fashion steering wheel with the Barbiecore, Mermaidcore and Digital Lavender take over. We just can’t help it. We’re here for all of it! There’s simply no point in resisting. But don’t just scroll, like and save. Make it happen! It’s one thing to be killing it on Insta but let’s take it on IRL.

I want to see you this summer! Dancing on Vic Row in your dreamy dresses, chilling at the yacht club in your laid-back prepster looks. Cocktail/ mocktail it up on your fave patio in style. But, mostly I just want to see you out and enjoying summer, and feeling fantastic while you do it.

Full Bloom

Florals are synonymous with spring/ summer trends but this season’s roses are in full bloom to say the least. Oversized rosette chokers, hair accessories, dress and swim details. Take your pick.

Mermaidcore

Move over Barbiecore, we’ve got mermaid vibes stepping in, I mean swimming up? Resort wear just took a literal dive and we are here for it! From under-the-sea prints, glistening iridescent sequins and embellished fishtail silhouettes the sea of fashion has so much to offer.

We can maybe thank Taylor Swift for putting this hue on the map? But truly this was chosen by a trend forecaster in 2021 to be this summer’s colour on repeat. Though it’s hard to say who’s truly responsible for solidifying it, there’s no question it’s an absolute must.

Sheer FREEDOM

Do you dare to bare? This trend, ripped right from the runways is something to think on. Yes, we’ve played with sheer fabrics plenty of summers gone by, but we’re really risking it all this season in little short shorts and bralettes under gauzy looks from pants to skirts to dresses.

Pocket dial-ed in

Practicality, but make it fashion. Useful or not, there’s no question, we love ourselves some pockets. So why not throw in a few more? Or many more. Skirts, tops and even bags are accentuating the utilitarian vibe this season. It’s hard to say no when it makes so much sense.

Take A Bow

Femininity rules with the resurgence of bow details this season. Though it’s a little throwback to our childhood styling, we’ll really see bows act as the primary focus on dresses, bags, and shoes. The bigger the better.
