Antonia Apostolou's guide to summer style
Looking to hit refresh on your wardrobe this summer? With social events back in full swing, now is the time to try this season’s trending pieces.
summer blues
While candy colours might have taken the spotlight in spring, this summer is all about oceanic hues. Dresses, skirts and shirts arriving awash in blue set the tone for holiday parties, date nights and gatherings with friends that last long after the sun goes down.
Whether you choose pastel or pop-colour, keeping your outfit tonal is a sure fire way to dial up the drama for any event in the dairy. Remember that classic neutrals offer the perfect palette cleanser, giving you the flexibility for more subtle styling if you prefer.
bold and beautiful
Embrace the optimism of the season with vibrant styles that are packed with personality. Get your colour fix with energetic patterns and sunset hues that spark energy and joy for every occasion, from summer weddings to cocktail dress codes. Choose fluid fabrics and draping silhouettes that let prints shine, while offering figure-flattering fits you’ll feel most confident in. From crop tops matched with wide-leg pants to A-line skirted mini dresses, the key takeaway is to have a little fun. Mix and match or go head-to-toe – the world is your oyster.
celebration style
Whether you’re lunching with friends or spending time with your family, tap into the holiday season with dresses in fiery pops of colour and playful prints. Look for mini hemlines with flounce, sleeves that cast a dramatic silhouette or separates that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For a more pared-back approach to celebration style, create tonal looks in white or beige and let your accessories do the talking.
monochrome moment
Black and white is a classic for a reason. Effortlessly elegant and always striking, a monochrome moment is the ultimate way to feel pulled together during the busiest time of year. But simple doesn’t have to be boring. Let little details bring life to your outfits: think a waist-cinching belt, ruffled hem or balloon sleeves. Try an all-over print on a sleek midi dress or double-down with matching separates to really make a statement.
