Get The Look
White Out
Summer's hottest trend is pure as the driven snow. Go for head toe brilliant white in the simplest of silhouettes for a look that's perfectly angelic.
The sun's out, meaning you're officially allowed to wear white without sticking out like a sore thumb or looking like an extra from Wham! First, brush up on your fake tanning skills - white looks best on slightly sun-kissed skin tones. When you're ready to glow, cut a dash in a tailored, Seventies-style tuxedo and waistcoat combo for sharp-suited glamour; wear the separate of the moment - the tunic - with white or silver leggings or your favourite jeans; and dare to bear with a Sixties-style mini dress. An oversized bowling-style bag is the essential summer accessory. And don't forget the oversized sunnies - you'll need them to handle the glare!
