Downtown
cool meets patrician posh for this new take on a classic 1960s look. Think
Edie Sedgwick and the Velvet Underground’s Nico and you’re half way there,
as candy stripes and geometric op-art tees provide a preppy, uniform-like
touch.
Topshop
BLACK AND WHITE STRIPE TOP
£20 €30
NAVY POLKA DOT CROPPED BOLERO JACKET
£35 €53
Straight poplin shift dresses and cutwork
lace-trimmed pinafores strike a clean silhouette, maintained by box-waist
suits with stand-up collars and tulip skirts.
Capri trousers are worn under Brocade and
taffeta frock coats or short summer trenches while Princess Margaret-style
heels and flat patent sling-backs are topped off with newsboy caps.
Topshop
NAVY DRESS
£35 €53
Dresses are studded with beadwork while
outerwear has large, flat buttons and disc-shaped belted fastenings. Pale
nudes are paired with navy, pistachio with dark mustard and black with
white.
This
is a glamorous, excessive look, gorged on extravagant beading and flamboyant
metallic trims.
Topshop
TURQUOISE VEST
£6 €9
GREY LONG SWEATER DRESS
£25 €38
UNIQUE LACE UP SHOE
Dark figure-hugging dresses with plunging
necklines and striking hemlines are piled with strings of chunky gold
jewellery. Look out for slinky black jersey in simple silhouettes that makes
way for over-the-top accessories. Twisted and draped fabrics are cut to fall
to the waist creating sultry backless shapes.
Platform heels, curved-wedge shoes and sandals of gold
chain puncture block-coloured looks of mocca, tan, sage and mushroom. Throw
in a chain strapped leather bag to finish this decadent look.
