Mellow for the weekdays

Keep your style minimal and mellow for the weekdays. Lavender is a great hue to experiment with, this summer. Lavenders, whites, deep greens, mustards and shades of aqua blue can help beat the summer heat. Experiment with deeper blues and browns for pants. Add some additional details to your weekday ensemble and ornament it with some really cool shades or watches for your wrists.

Collars for Zoom

We all know we’ve been struggling to look chic in this heat and while serving some corporate realness can be a bit of a drag. It is essential to look nice on your Zoom meetings. Try opting for some deep notch collar shirts. You can experiment with the color palette by keeping it pastel and powdery or go color kamikaze with electric blues and canneries. *try experimenting with partially brighter tones and breezy textures to get the fuss free look on and off zoom.

Be playful when it comes to collars. Cotton jackets paired with mellow T’s or Button downs with light weave jackets are some of the style choices you can easily explore. Keep the undershirts mellow or neutral when pairing them with bright outer layers.

Prints and Proportions

Summers are dull without prints. Watercolor prints at Jacquemus paired with some really breezy pants should be an essential part of your SS 2020 manifesto! Especially if you’re print shy. Keep it minimal and experiment with proportions. Manet Blue, Glassy reds, mustards and mint green can help you keep it chic and trendy all at the same time.
You can also let your prints, scream for you! by opting for quirky and loud graphics. You should experiment with the proportions of the print – explore stripes and fauna – or simply take a psychedelic trip with gothic tie and dyes.

Undies on Sundays

I’ve always been a loyal advocate for undies on the weekend. You can find some really cool gender neutral underwear on Ludovic de Saint Sernin and pair them with breezy experimental knits. Or opt for some classic yet boujee Tom Fords and put them together with oversized gusty shirts. Be gracious when it comes to shorts.

Try keeping denim out of the equation for this summer and instead explore the realm of cotton knit – rambunctiously dyed shorts. If you are diving deeper with prints at the top then keep it minimal down below.

This summer asks for a bit too much when it comes to style. Keep things minimal and explore different textures and prints. As a stylist I always advocate for personal style. Keep your personal style intact while experimenting with the current trends. Explore – Experiment and have fun!
