When it comes to summer trends, our fashion editor Elizabeth doesn’t play favorites. In fact, she loves both of these flirty looks too much to choose just one. Here, she’s breaking down two sunny styles and how to nail them – just in time for the dog days.
The Look: Oversized Ruffles
How to Get It
Wrap Shirtdress: “I’m obsessed with the new take on banker stripes. The classic borrowed-from-the-boys pattern is so sweet in a figure-flaunting silhouette.”
Block-Heeled Sandals: “Platforms (and flatforms) are here to stay. This Prada pair’s elegant curve and contrasting cork gives it that extra bit of sophistication.”
Straw Accessories: “Woven handbags are everywhere, but I like that this isn’t your usual oversized tote. Opt for a classic FENDI Baguette with novelty embellishment instead.”
The Look: Feminine Florals
How to Get It
Asymmetrical Midi: “I’ve been seeing a lot of handkerchief hemlines lately. I love how they lend an easy boho vibe to Victorian-inspired florals.”
Itty-Bitty Box Clutch: “The mix of floral appliqués and crystals on this bag is breathtakingly beautiful. I just know it’s something I’ll use for seasons to come.”
Textured Slides: “The juxtaposition of a casual sandal and in-your-face fringe makes these all kinds of fun. And in my favorite hue of the season (yes, pink), they’re a must-buy.”
