Summer is hot, and no person wishes to be confined in clothes that are too constricting. That’s why loose skirts, pants, tops, and shorts often trend during hot weather.  When temperatures start to rise, ensure you have flawless outfits to rock out all through the summer. New season, new wardrobe!

You do not need to look poorly dressed during summer just because you have run out of options of what to wear. From matching separates to bright colors, here are some of the hottest flawless trends you can rock:

1.  Blasphemy Tops With Jeans

Blasphemy tops are available in different designs and a range of styles and colors for both men and women. These tops have words or actions encrypted on them that, in a way, spreads some message. They are one of the best choices for summer because they are simple and can go with anything.

Matching the blasphemy tops with jeans, skirts, or shorts will give that flawless look. You can pair the tops with jeans shorts if you are relaxing on the beach or match them with a skirt or pants for a casual day. Their free nature ensures that you remain cool and not sweat during hot weather.

2.  Button-Down Frocks

Button-down dresses are feminine and give that polished look, and you can wear them in different events during summers, such as lunch outs, date trips, and girl outs. So, whether you choose a long, midi, or mini dress, button-down dresses make you look flawless during summer.

Women’s button dresses have both an official and casual appeal with an elevated style, and since most of them are sleeveless, you get to enjoy the day without too much sweat or heat. So, get yourself that dress and rock it to the office, work, or even the beach this summer. Also, you can match them easily with flat open shoes, high heels, or trainers.

3.  Breezy Jumpsuits and Flowery Hats

One-colored or multicolored lightweight cotton breezy jumpsuits are a summer deal, and they make a perfect option whether you are enjoying a quick getaway or hitting a weekend party. Jumpsuits are very stylish, and if you are going to the beach, you can complete the look with shades and beach waves.

There is no doubt that the summer heat can be too much and even cause sunburns. Therefore, the best way to wear your breezy jumpsuit is to match it with a summer hat. This look can work well in the office and even as casual wear. You can never go wrong with jumpsuits because they look good on anyone regardless of shape. However, you have to know what you are looking for before you buy.

4.  The Fitted Polo and Short

The summer look is not complete without a plain or colored polo shirt. However, it is crucial to ensure that the shirt is not loose or baggy to have that flawless look. A fitted polo shirt will help show off your muscles and give you a simple tailored look. Remember, you are not looking for the tightest shirt but one that fits you perfectly.

The fitted polo is incomplete without a short. It would be best if you had a fitting slit-front short tailored through your upper leg and thighs such that it is not loose. You can try fitting a few pairs of shorts and shirts till you get one that feels most comfortable. Once you get what you want, buy them in multiple colors and enjoy the summer looking flawless.

5.  Chiffon Chinos and Top

Chiffon tops and woven fabric chino are perfect wear for summer since it is a lightweight fabric that will not make you sweat. It breathes well to help you stay cool throughout the hot days. However, ensure that you go for high-quality chiffons.

Chino pants have become very common and are a classy output that gives that elegant and casual/official look. Pairing them well with matching chiffon tops or color-blocking with a color of your preference will help you remain flawless during summer. The good thing is that you can get chino pants for both males and females, and they both look absolutely beautiful.

Conclusion

Summer is a period to rock those beautiful outfits that are breathable and light enough to reduce sweating. But when you don’t know what to look for, picking your summer outfit can be a headache. However, it doesn’t have to be a gruesome task. Just make sure to go for high-quality materials, designs that you find appealing. Also, ensure that you fit several clothes to select an attire that is not too baggy or too tight.

You can go ahead to try these top five laid-back yet cool outfits to give you the cute summer appearance you want. A perfect matching stylish sunglasses, a hat, or shoes are an excellent way to compliment your look.

Sandals

Sandals, whether flat or heeled, trendy or more classic, are always perfect with slim jeans. See those wide strap sandals we’ve seen all summer? Well they also work very well with a slim fit. Yet with their rather massive allure and their ultra-minimalist side, no one would have bet on this improbable association!

Wearing slim jeans with Denim Sandals, strappy sandals or is the guarantee of remaining simple and feminine without too much effort. We validate!

Exit the skinny, the flare jeans are back on the front of the stage. Star of the 70s, it is more trendy than ever. Indispensable in our wardrobes, we can wear flare jeans in winter as in summer. We show you how to adopt flare jeans in 15 inspiring looks.

Since jeans are constantly being renewed from season to season, you can quickly be spoiled for choice. But the one that never disappoints and that suits all body types is flare jeans.

How to choose your flared jeans?

Flare jeans adapts to all body types because they are endlessly available. Short, wide, slim, long … we love it in all its forms. For the older ones, we adopt the wide, slim or cropped flare jeans, also called the kick flare. What shoes to wear with flared jeans? Sneakers, block stylo shoes or pointy toe ankle boots.

If you are shorter, leave aside the wide flare jeans which may create a “bag” effect. Instead, go for a pair of slim flare jeans: tight at the thighs and slightly flared at the bottom. The kick flare is also your ally, as long as you don’t wear it with sneakers, which will compress your figure. Short, wide, slim, long … we love flare jeans in all their forms!

Choose the color of your flare jeans

When it comes to colors and washes, flare jeans offer many possibilities. We avoid faded jeans to the extreme, a big trend of the 2000s that has not survived the ages! We also leave aside the torn or worn flare jeans, at the risk of falling into the too much.

We adopt dark blue or black jeans with our eyes closed, ideal for slimming and lengthening our legs. In summer as in winter, we opt for white flare jeans that we break with an oversized gray sweatshirt and camel suede ankle boots.

What should you wear flare jeans with?

Wearing flare jeans in winter

Stay warm, put on a big knit sweater that you blouse in your high-waisted flare jeans . Pointed-toe heeled ankle boots and voila!  For a winter evening, wear black flare jeans with a beige satin camisole. We stay in a rock spirit with a leather perfecto placed on the shoulders, a gray scarf-plaid around the neck and pointed black vinyl ankle boots.

Wearing flare jeans in summer

In summer, we fall for a pair of flared jeans and bohemian white blouse. We adopt nude wedge espadrilles on the feet, a big trend that comes back every summer. We leave our leather bag in the closet and we go into the basket fashion with our eyes closed. We add a small scarf on the hawse: the little detail that changes everything!

The high-waisted flare jeans go perfectly with the white message t-shirt. If you’re shorter, swap the sneakers for block heel sandals that will lengthen your figure while remaining comfortable during the day. Flare jeans for a summer evening? It’s a big yes! We opt for slim flare jeans, more tight-fitting than the classic model, in dark blue. In top, we dare the maxi neckline with a polka dot wrap, and we adopt sandals with thin golden straps on the feet. And since we love to mix prints, we tie a floral headband in the hair.

The tale of two Valentino’s is – in classical Italian fashion ladies bags – a dramatic and frequently fiery affair. If not a story of warring families, then certainly of contrasting approaches, with dips and piques of fortune, masked identity, heroes and villains alike clothed in finest cloth and leather, supported by a cast of young and beautiful characters against the backdrop of the highly competitive fashion industry. 

Ladies Bags

Two central characters: Mario Valentino – the [perhaps wrongly] perceived villain of the story. Creator of quality leather bags and clothing since the 1950s who became a celebrity favourite in the 60s and worked with up-and-coming designers and photographers in the 80s to enhance a solid reputation. 

And the master: Valentino Garavani – the acknowledged darling of fashion week since the sixties; the beautifier of women, the most French of Italian designers, who looks down on the ‘other’ Valentino with a degree of disdain and frustration.

Certainly Valentino Garavani can lay claim to being the most famous and relevant of the two brands heading deep into the 21st Century. Current designer Pierpaolo Piccioli has embraced the marquee’s reputation for uptown elegance and fused it to an edgier silhouette. Still relaxed, still roomy, but with downtown dynamics and easy time on its mind. 

Mario Valentino doesn’t exist in the same stratosphere. Its concerns are almost exclusively with leather (or faux leather) goods, and its current reputation rests on quality-constructed bags that retail at downtown/premium prices for those who want a look without a cost.    

How they are different

They are very different indeed. By way of comparison, a Valentino Garavani Roman stud the shoulder bag in Nappa is yours for £2,100. Don’t expect to be paying these kinds of prices (and Valentino Garavani bags go much higher still) for edgy style experiments. You’re purchasing elegance with a certain Gaelic ease. Valentino Garavani are your Louis Vuitton alternative, or what you settle for if a second-hand Hermes cannot be justified. In short, this is as good as luxury gets before it leaves on a couture-bound jet. 

Mario Valentino bags are a premium affair that trade on leather or vegan polyurethane in bold colours and ‘designer’-aspiring looks. By way of example, the Red Elfo Shoulder bag is a lovely Michael Kors alternative that wears its bright red Italian heritage all over.

Valentino Garavani’s SpikeMe Nappa clutch is a padded delight at £1,550. The MV clutch appears more intent on hitting the same clubs that Love Moschino frequents. And why not at a price shy of £100? 

Elsewhere with Valentino Garavani, simplicity reigns supreme. The Valentino Garavani Small Rock stud Hobo bag exemplifies an approach to design, short only of the more formal couture pieces that emphasizes simplicity, quality materials (a textured leather finish and silver hardware) as opposed to superfluous adages, a myriad of pockets and flaps or eccentric and culture referencing prints. 

The Valentino Garavani Round Bag 03 Rose Edition is the label’s concession to visual experimentation. Flowers have been a longstanding focus, consolidating and freeing the romantic idealism that is more modern or sexualised in many of the more daring European concerns. 

A Mario Valentino Doxy woven backpack is somewhat imitative of the classier Italian statement for simple texture and bold lux colours, in materials at a price to suit and a design that doesn’t illuminate the room. Or the Mario Valentino Doxy Woven Briefcase, which is actually a punchy, pretty and summery carry-all, again in non-leather materials that don’t sing to a luxury tune (although it is better for the environment and animal kingdom). 

Clearly Mario Valentino’s current legacy has been hit by its comparison with the superior luxury brands name. What’s more, a legal battle currently ensues between the two: Garavani claiming [with some justification] that Mario Valentino has unethically traded off the Valentino name with products and logos that mislead and confuse. 

To calm things down a little, it’s important to note that imitation and creative use of other brands’ name and reputation is a fairly common fashion practice. Not saying it’s right, but the current boom in fake goods speaks of a generation of consumers who want ‘the look’ without the exorbitant cost, whilst current darling of the athleisure world Virgil Abloh had a less than auspicious start trading Off-White under the name Pyrex Vision. What nobody mentions that in Paris if they want to get invited anywhere.

MVs bigger problem in recent years has actually been its tendency [again not unique amongst Premium brands with global reach, Michael Kors being an example] to creatively copy the look of luxury brands like Celine.   

Their Popularity

Popularity is a rather misleading reference point in the fashion world. It can refer to a brand’s ubiquity; to the extent to which the whole world (especially the traditional high street) have latched onto a particular style or trend, and are wearing it (out!) with increasingly diminishing returns. 

The classic light brown and tan Louis Vuitton bag is a case in point: no longer an art piece, the brand somewhat manoeuvred itself away from this standard/luxury symbol into more adventurous territories (although it still sells like hot cakes), whilst the Burberry check, its 2000’s calling card, became a burden it no longer wished to bear. 

Valentino Garavani avoids fashion clichés and over-exposure largely because of its mandate for elegant upscale simplicity. It is a look the stylish will wear, but that their kids will ignore, owing to an (intentional) lack of both web-baiting pizazz and extravagant logos. In short, Valentino Garavani is a brand that is popular amongst those for whom simple style is the primary concern.

Perhaps surprisingly, Mario Valentino also goes somewhat under the radar in fashion circles. Some of the aforementioned reasons account for this, including that long-raging battle with its upscale namesake. But also, because the MV look is relatively conservative – trading on quality construction and materials, choosing to imitate the season’s trends rather than push forward in the culture arena – and because of its relatively to profile compared to other premium labels like Coach, Michael Kors or Love Moschino, you’ll find it a choice that retains a certain novelty factor. At prices that encourage a move away from your usual premium picks, this is a win-win situation. If only the two warring Valentino’s could see it such.
