2 BLUE

JEAN BABY

When it comes to the trusty

blues, a slightly loose fit that’s

cropped three inches or so

above the ankle is the most ‘now’

shape. Our advice: incorporate

wherever possible. Unless, of

course, you need to counteract

the volume of a particularly

frothy dress, in which case,

you have our permission to

dig out your skinnies.

4 THE RISE

AND FALL

This outfit works because

of one major detail: the

hemline of the dress hits

way above the bottom of

the jeans. This allows for

maximum exposure of

those cool, ripped jeans you

spent an entire weekend

artfully ‘distressing’.

5 GIRL

MEETS BOY

Tiffany’s traffic-stopping

pink embroidered number

is the stuff of romantic

dreams, but it needed

something to toughen it

up – enter the ripped,

frayed-hem boyfriend

jeans. The metallic courts

up the edge factor, as

does her chic bob.

3 TREND

TALLY

This dress manages to tick

three major S/S 17 trends

at once: the colour pink,

sheer layers AND ruffles

(heart-eye emojis at the

ready). With all that going

on, you don’t need much

in the way of accessories

• a hat or full-on necklace
  would swing this look into
  crazy cat woman territory.
  Not the vibe we think
  you’re going for.

1 SHEER

BRILLIANCE

Both the catwalks and the

street are awash with sheer,

floaty dresses for summer.

From punky mesh to dark

gothic lace and ballerina

tulle, there’s one for every

personality. Not into pink

floral frills like actress Tiffany

Hsu? Opt for a sporty,

straight-cut mesh style to

avoid a sugar overdose.
