DRESS TO IMPRESS
Stripe it Right
The eternal sartorial staple gets a refresh this season. From crisp pinstripes that channel quiet luxury to wide painterly lines splashed across flowing maxis, stripes are an exercise in versatility. Whether in classic navy and white or unexpected citrus hues, this season’s stripes are bolder, braver and infinitely more experimental.
Vintage Maximalism
Spring ushers in an era of excess—riotous florals, ornate embroidery and an unabashed love for all things gilded and grand. From brocade jackets layered over floral silks to tapestry-like prints, maximalism is having a renaissance. Whether you lean into the old-world charm of corsetry or the eccentric glamour of ‘70s prints, this trend invites you to mix, match and make it your own.
THE SEASON’S ‘IT BAGS’
Bucket Bags
Structured yet soft, effortless yet impactful—the bucket bag continues its reign this season. Woven raffia, sleek patent leather, and even sculptural resin iterations make this silhouette the ultimate companion for a warm-weather wardrobe. Wear it slung over the shoulder or nestled in the crook of your arm, it’s the perfect blend of practicality and polish.
East-to-West bags
If last year’s micro bags were an aesthetic experiment, this season’s elongated ‘East-to-West’ arm candies are a practical revelation. With their sleek, rectangular proportions, they whisper sophistication. Whether in supple leather or structured croc-embossed finishes, these bags bring a touch of restrained glamour to any ensemble.
THE ACCESSORY EDIT
New Codes of Elegance
When it comes to jewellery, pearls have shed their prim reputation, morphing into sculptural, modern forms—think asymmetric chokers and baroque pearl drops. Layered necklaces continue their reign, mixing metals, textures and lengths for an undone-yet-intentional effect. Meanwhile, dainty watches with their barely-there straps and vintage-inspired dials will serve as the ultimate finishing touch.
Step out in style
Footwear is taking a nostalgic detour with the return of the clog sandal, lending an effortless, bohemian edge to breezy summer ensembles. Once a countryside staple, it is now the epitome of off-duty cool. Reimagined with sculptural wooden soles this season, they appear in everything from pastel leathers and buttery suedes to embroidered versions. Comfortable? Absolutely. Chic? Undeniably.
COUTURE FOR YOUR HOUSE
Neutral palettes remain a classic, but they come with an unexpected jolt now—pops of electric blue, zesty orange and deep emerald breathe new life into minimalist spaces. Artful lighting takes centre stage, with sculptural fixtures becoming conversation starters. For those with a bolder aesthetic, colour-drenched rooms—where walls, ceilings and even furniture are swathed in a single hue—are making an impact. And in case you need more drama? Say it with wallpaper. From bold botanicals to whimsical chinoiserie, walls are getting the couture treatment.
BEAUTY BIBLE
Summer beauty is all about a fresh-faced glow. Dewy, luminous skin remains the ultimate canvas with romantic blush lending a naturally flushed effect. Brown mascara softens the gaze, lending a lived-in, effortless charm. And the season’s go-to trend? Strawberry lips—a juicy, bitten effect that sits somewhere between soft coral and deep berry, making for the ultimate understated statement.
While trends are the perfect starting point when planning looks for a new season, the most important tip of all? To stay true to your style and just have fun with it. Happy summer-ing!
