On the Streets

CHERRY ON TOP

Blame Carmen Miranda if you must, but there’s no denying the delightful nostalgia of fruit-themed jewellery. Add the accessory to your everyday wardrobe for a touch of cheer and whimsy; and pile on strands of beads if you want to go all fiesta chica.

Embrace warmer days ahead with all things light and bright

IN THE CLEAR

See-through acetate frames are perfect for people wanting an understate­d look without having to compromise on style. Add a touch of mystery with tinted ones that drip with retro-chic fun.

SPRING KNITS

Knits are not only meant for the cold. A light and bright spaghetti-strap top or mini dress worn by itself lends a cute peekaboo effect, while pairing it with other wardrobe classics offers a personable twist.

SHEER DELIGHT

A lightness of being is what this season has to offer with its array of sheer looks that serve up romance in spades. Fendi paired a streamline­d frock with a bodysuit in a contrastin­g hue, while Loewe presented a dress with a white overlay that enveloped the body like a cloud. Whichever way you decide to go, this trend does audacious femininity like a dream.

PRETTY LITTLE THINGS

Anklets are having a resurgence and we’re calling it. Take your cue from Versace and dress up your strappy heels with a gilded chain, or opt for a darling lace-like sparkler from Miu Miu and make your feet the new jewellery zone.

LET LOOSE

Get comfy with this season’s trousers, which are relaxed and hang off the hips. At Chanel, the roomy number was balanced with a tiny bandeau, while Tod’s revisited the ’80s with an update on parachute pants. For a more prim and proper look, do things the Chloé way and play up the hardware.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

Live vicariousl­y through your clothes with feather-trimmed separates that fly in the face of these travel-less days. Pair it with a duvet-like coat like at Fendi, or embody bohemia in a luxurious Saint Laurent robedress—there are plenty of styles to tickle your fancy.

ON THE FLIP SIDE

Flip-flops (or thongs) are no longer the footwear du jour for just the beach or a quick pop to the shops. Stella McCartney, Kenzo and Valentino have put their spin on the casual number. Be it meadow flowers for a free-spirited take, a cushier rainbow-hued sole for ultimate comfort, or even rock studs for an elevated spin, opt for fancy details for that dose of extra.

CHAIN REACTION

Hermès’s newest Nantucket sees the House melding two brand icons into a modern whole. Henri d’Origny’s distinctiv­e silhouette created in 1991 is now paired with an update of Robert Dumas’s 1938 Chaîne d’ancre bracelet for a watch that exudes subtle luxury, class and elegance.

WATER PARADE

Get ready for your next Zoom meeting with the season’s offering of statement collars that add oomph to your ensemble— both on screen and off. Whether it’s a Victorian-esque high, ruffled collar for a formal look, or an oversize panel-like one for a more rustic effect, these guarantee some unforgetta­ble face time.

FANCY THIS

Save the turtles and ditch plastic mineral water bottles for one of these instead. As stylish as they are practical, these multi-use water bottles and holders will keep you hydrated in the chicest way possible.

TAKE A BOW

Pussybows add instant finesse to the most casual of looks. Whether to complete a scene-stealing Victorian blouse with puff sleeves, or to add truant schoolgirl vibes through a velvet number, this sartorial gesture can’t help but drip with personalit­y and charm.
