SUMMER STYLE: The White Stripes!

by Michael Mulligan on May 17, 2012

Nautical and Breton stripes are a classic way to keep your style clean and chic this summer. Don’t think full on sailor suit, instead opt for well tailored simple pieces in simple stripes. These summery stripes are also a great way to incorporate this seasons trends for sporty details and crisp whites.

This zipper swimsuit by Lisa Marie Fernandez is great – it has that cool, sports chic feel. Team with these retro-inspired sunglasses for a glamorous pool-side look. Simple striped tunic dresses (like this one by Aubin & Wills) are a great investment – They’ll keep you stylish for summers to come.

A simple white summer dress is great for teaming with stripes, especially if you prefer bold patterns in smaller doses. Go for a pretty striped cardigan on the cooler days, or cinch in your waist with a sporty striped belt.

Keep it casual with structured white trousers – Pinstripes are classic and flattering great for any age. Floppy hats are big this summer and can add elegance to both casual and dressed-up outfits.

Cool Breton stripes have a tendency to look casual. If you want to take this look into the evening you don’t have to play by the rules. This Cavalli dress with sheer striped panels is perfect for grown up glamour. Think outside the box, strappy sandals and pleated accessories add will add complimentary finishing touches to a striped look.

Michael Kors SS10

With Valentine’s Day approaching what to wear on a date looms high on all our radar’s. As a Personal Shopper I am continually on the lookout for dream dresses that transform and make us feel like a goddess. Look at this superb, flattering Michael Kors Goddess dress. Stunning, this works best on women over 5 `6”.

Givenchy SS10

My favourite collection is…… Givenchy. The nautical theme is superb, impossible not to make a movie star entrance in this. First impressions count as we make decisions on people in the first 30 seconds of meeting them.

Givenchy SS10

This is another gorgeous Givenchy dress with lycra to hold you in, it looks amazing on curvy women and flatters bigger breasts.

Moschino SS10

Moschino make great dresses and suits for hourglass women and this is no exception Italian Chic here we come!

Burberry SS10

For those with great legs a Burberry mac in shell pink feminine, flirty and sexy too.

Basso and Brooke

For the very slim this exuberantly coloured dress will add needed curves.

Mary Katrantzou

The trend for graphic prints as shown by Mary Katrantzou now at the new 4th Floor Harvey Nicks.

Matthew Williamson SS10

For the curvy, try Matthew Williamson’s wonderful feminine number.

From the high street Zara have produced a fantastic copy of this classic style Celine skirt. Also at Zara and selling out as we speak is a wonderful nautical black and white sweater with Balmainesque embellished shoulders. This is very chic and an absolute bargain. Great worn with Emporio Armani black sparkly jeans.
