5 Summer Micro-Trends That Are Worth Your Attention
By Sarah Macken
Style savants, take note: these outfit tweaks will set you apart from the crowd …
Unretro hats
A distinctive hat has been a fast-track to a personality-filled look, of late. What’s trending now? 1950s pillbox hats that aren’t too polished or ladylike, especially when teamed with casual separates to ground them in the now.
Floral appliqués
Rather than hyper-real prints, this summer’s floral tribute hinges on appliqué details for an artisanal look. Look for floral-pattern lace accessories in shades of cream or white.
XL corsages
Blame the new season of And Just Like That, but Ms Bradshaw’s finest accessory is being tapped by Instagram’s coolest dressers.
Printed scarves as tops
We’re not sure there’s a more effective way to nod to riviera chic. Large silk headscarves as bandeau tops is the 2000s trend that works for holidays and summer occasions alike. (See the dress trend that does the same here.)
Feminine ties
Ever since Annie Hall dressing came back into the fashion spotlight earlier this spring, we’ve been thinking a lot about ties. Namely, ties in soft colours and floral patterns, subverting a masculine staple with a sprinkling of the feminine. Will we try one? Watch this space!
