This is what those in the know are wearing on holidays right now …
Statement shorts and flip-flops
While boxer-style shorts were once the be all and end all, this season has seen exaggerated shapes and decadent details take hold. There are full silhouettes that conjure old fashioned bloomers, while silk styles with lace-trims by brands such as Dôen and Reformation have gone viral. When teamed with flip-flops, this combination is both laid-back and ultra-cool.
Sheer trousers and oversized bags
The trend for sheer trousers – think: crochet and lace styles – has been gaining traction all summer, especially thanks to cool brands like Dish (its Loula lace trousers are a hit with those in the know). Offset the flash of skin with an XL bag which will instantly make your outfit seem effortless rather than too thought out.
Pyjama trousers and scarf belts
In case you missed it: a silk or linen scarf knotted around your waist is the secret sauce to summer outfits. We think it looks particularly good when paired with loose, linen trousers.
Pretty cotton dresses and shell necklaces
A pretty white cotton dress – preferably one that looks like an antique tablecloth – is a holiday dressing power piece. Team it with a shell necklace (we love Les Beads’ red conch necklace) for a unique look.
Slip skirts and tiny bags
Slip skirts in champagne shades are the last word in decadence right now. While the style set is dressing theirs down with simple sandals and a tank top, the addition of a small pouch bag (look to vintage-look styles with unique details such as embroidery and beading) is the final flourish.
