It’s summer time again and the wheel of fashion is set to take a turn to its Spring Summer avatar. With all the runway shows happening around us, trend spotting is an interesting game for fashion enthusiasts.
Sheer, that borders on complete transparency, laces, ruffles and layering, all for romanticism are one of the interesting looks to sport this summer. It’s time to get diligent about our workout as the bodice is the focal area and we see the return of the quintessential corsets. Keeping the bodice sheer and accentuating it with power shoulders is another element that we may widely see. For those who may not be big fans of corsets, the trend may be embraced with tank tops or decollete necklines.
Structured maxi silhouettes that are heavy on textures and craftsmanship should keep the emphasis on the upper half of the body which is how SS25 wants you to keep.
While we may celebrate feminine & dainty on one hand, on the other, the 80s power dressing for women’s fashion is back with structured blazers with power shoulders. Pant suits with double breasted look, bordering on oversized, shall define boardroom comfort.
Colours this summer shall celebrate tints and tones of sunset, giving a range of yellows to pinks to oranges to blues and a red, all these shall be balanced with the white, black & beige.
It’s time to pull out our handcrafted artisanal pieces in knit & crochet, whether it is a full garment or an accessory like a bag or a scarf, feel free to flaunt it.
Also while you up your spring summer fashion game, be mindful of your carbon footprints your choices may leave as sustainable accountability is true & absolute high fashion regardless of the season.
