SUMMER STYLING

Key Looks and Trends with Rose Horsfield
Pookie Womenswear Pot House Hamlet Silkstone Barnsley


After the never ending rain of last summer, the look on the catwalk for this summer is optimism, with cheerful shades of yellow, floral prints, out in full bloom and the hottest look for 08, the summer dress.

The maxi dress – long and free flowing, maxi’s suit many figure shapes. For daywear, cotton maxi’s are best worn with flat sandals and in printed styles for maximum impact. Luxurious chiffons and silk fabrics with dye effects, dipped, tied or marbled add a touch of evening elegance to this look along, with high wedge shoes.

Grecian style - draped dresses, in one shouldered gowns of chiffon and toga styles in jersey add an air of ancient simplicity. Large cuff and bangle accessories finish the look along with a pair of gladiator sandals. Its high wearability factor makes the draped dress one of the season’s most flattering trends.

Bandeau dresses – found in an array of fabrics, mainly simple but effective if patterned. Short in jersey for the daytime, and either short or long for evening attire in block colours or check type tablecloth patterns. Bandeau dresses are a great way to show off your summer tan.

Shirt dresses - Taking inspiration from the safari summer neutrals palette with pocket and belt detailing. This is a flattering trend for the 40 -50 age bracket as they have all the structure on the shoulders of a jacket and nip in at the waist.

Fifties dresses – a vision of timeless elegance with belted waists and full skirts in structured fabrics, emphasising the sexy hour glass and femininity of a woman.

Which ever styles you prefer there are plenty of dresses to suit all figures and looks this summer. Finish your look with the new shape sunglasses, round frames in varying bright colours.
