Creating Your Summer Look

Late spring is an ideal time to clear out your wardrobe and make room for some new items for summer.
This season, the timeless floral trend is again a key player, coming in all shapes and forms. And Milford Shopping Centre has got your floral fusions look sorted, as well as carrying a whole heap of new accessories perfect for those warmer days.
Make sure you’re ready to hit the streets - and the beach - keeping it practical and stylish.

Red, Red, Red
You can’t go wrong with red, so why not be doubly on trend with this gorgeous red floral dress from Flying Saucers. Perfect for summer days or nights.   

Cornflower Blue
Cornflower blue is another trending colour this spring, which is soft and flattering on the skin while still being fun and lively.

Dark Botanics
There’s an edgier option to the floral trend this season, so if you aren’t a fan of wearing vibrant colours there is still plenty to choose from. Veronika Maine has some great examples of how you can wear dark floral. The colour in the flowers is enough to enable you to wear black on top, as well. A more subtle way to infuse your outfit with the floral trend while still looking fabulous!

Cut-outs
Cut-outs were huge last spring, and they’ve maintained an equal place this year. Invest in a floral item with shoulder cut-outs, or a dress with waist cut-outs if you’re feeling more daring. Cut-outs add another layer of edginess to complement your floral fashion. Cut-out jeans look hot! Wear plain black or white shoes with the cut-out/floral combination so that you don’t overdo it.

Colourful Sunglasses
What would we do without sunglasses in summer? If there was only one accessory you could have this season, make it sunglasses. This summer the fashion world is embracing colour, so give your classic black or tortoiseshell eyewear a rest and buy a bright pair instead.

Floppy Hat
A floppy hat is essential for beach days, weekend walks and casual everyday wear. Not only do they protect your face and neck from the skin, they add a fashionable element to your outfit, too. Opt for a wide-brimmed felt hat to give yourself as much coverage as possible. Pair it with a summery dress and sandals and you’re ready for a chilled day out!

Small Bag
Thankfully in summer we don’t need to carry as much stuff around with us. All we need for summer is a compact bag that can fit the essentials – sunglasses, makeup, keys, sunscreen, compact mirror and phone.

Open Shoes
Finally, we can let our feet breathe a little and put our heavy winter boots aside. Owning a comfortable pair of open-toe heels is a must for summer. Choose a pair that aren’t overly high and are a more neutral tone so you can wear them to the office, out shopping or your local café. Casual chic for those sunny days.

Statement Earrings
The must-have jewellery item for the season is statement earrings. Now is the time to let your creativity shine – go as big, bold and crazy as you like! Think loud, contrasting colours, long tassled features and big geometric shapes. Wear them with a simple top so you don’t detract from this eye-catching accessory.
