How to Get the Look - Feminine

The Feminine look is huge this spring-summer with many a 'no fuss' girl getting in on the act.  You don't have to go all and out for a fluffy and frilly look, there are lots of ways to  add a little romance.

Go for a toned down, muted and understated look to be on trend.
Colours to shine in include nudes, pinks, creams, mauve, blues, grey and white.
Look for soft fluid outfits that drape and fold.
Add a floral item, a scarf, flower brooch or floral printed dress.
Accessorise with pearls, delicate jewellery, nude coloured shoes, sheer natural hose and a soft handbag.
Wear soft and luxurious fabrics like lace, broderie anglais, sheers, silks and satins.

                 

Men - The Chino is Cool all Summer Long

When jeans are too casual, and trousers too formal, the chino is perfect for any occasion. 
It works with a tee, shirt or jacket and is cool and comfortable to wear.   The latest look is cuffed, shorter and worn with boat shoes, great if you are tall and slim.  Note though if you want to look slimmer, shorter cuffed pants make you look shorter and thicker.  There's lots to choose from this Summer:


Blazer - cream flat front chino for $79.95.
Blaq Premium from Myer - cream cuffed chino for $89.95.
Marcs - End on End grey pants for $159.
Gant - Cream Tyler pants for $199.
Ben Sherman - Light blue chino for $129.95.
