If I Was A Teen Fashion Queen

Ever stuck on what to wear on one of those days when the weather just isn't hot enough for shorts or a skirt, but too hot for jeans? Printed cropped pants are your solution. They can be worn for almost any occasion, from parties to a day out with friends. Whilst also being very on trend this summer, cropped trousers are very practical and comfortable.

This pair from Zara features a bright floral print and can be worn with almost anything.

I think cropped pants are a simple and easy way to feel comfortable whilst looking perfect for almost every occasion. If you opt for a pair that are printed all the work is done- for a casual look wear them with a blazer or denim jacket and scarf as the autumn months approach or just a plain vest top for when the weather is warmer. Finish with a simple necklace, slouchy bag and flat sandals. For a more dressed up look opt for a darker coloured pair and wear with a crop top or silk cami with minimal detailing, complete with metallic accents, such as embellished shoes, structured bags and statement jewellery.

SUMMER 2013

WHITE OUT

For a clean and feminine look try incorporating white, textured fabrics into your summer wardrobe. Adding detail like lacework, crochet, broderie and brocade can add a more complex and exciting edge to this simple look.

How to wear
Layering multiple pieces of fabric creates an effortless, draped effect, whilst wearing clean and crisp separates gives a more modern twist.

Simple white shoes in modern shapes give a sporty edge to the feminine clothes.

Don’t Overdo It

Try to keep accessories to a minimum – interesting, rich-textured fabrics offer all the embellishment this look will need.
