Here are the top 5 trends that fulfill my heart with desire. Perhaps refining the edges and maintaining the tracksuit trend and pyjama sets, is a bit too flat for me. Instead, let us be reminded of style, detail, and how proactive life can be with lustful elegance yet, fun!
GILET.
The perfect layer. Seeing leather and embroidered gilet’s above relaxed, loose fit shirts. Think crop with shape or oversized below the hips. Paired over dresses, cropped over midi skirts or loosely hung above the carefree bermuda shorts.
SHOP THE TREND.
2. ALL OVER PRINTS.
A storm of prints walked the runway at some shows like Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Giamattista Valli and Xula.Bët.
Vibrant mixed media of florals, fruits and polka dots. Soft, misty and earthy tones. Designers passionately infused garments with a tribal influence of shapes and colours.
SHOP THE TREND.
EASY SUMMER SEPARATES.
From pleated skirts to crop bra tops, Summer separates are easy to mix and match and if mindfully selected, they will be here to stay. Think of sunset drinks, fluid skirts, knotted styles and indulge in warm yellow and oranges.

4. POETRY. EMMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS.
During a year of disconnections, we want nothing more than to feel that emotional re-connection with others. We have spent time focusing on ourselves and reflecting. A year filled with dreams, urging for the feeling of freedom, love and life.
Designers have embodied these emotions through designs that are fluid, sheer, embracing their cultures and sustainable techniques. Hand embroidery, recycled fabric and silhouettes that allow for freedom of movement.
SHOP THE LOOK.
5. SHIRT DRESS.
Effortless yet flamboyantly sophisticated. This season, opt for a shirt dress that gracefully moves with you in splashes with colour and print.
Drape your silhouette with accessories to suit, 70’s waist belts, head scarves or effortless and cool. Pair your skirt dresses with statement flats or rope tie-ups.
SHOP THE LOOK.
WHAT BRA SHOULD YOU BE WEARING BENEATH YOUR CLOTHING?
FIND YOUR BRA.
AND WEAR IT WITH THE RIGHT TOP.
Did you know the style of bra you should wear under a T-shirt is different from the type of bra you should wear with a shirt or blouse?
Wearing the right bra can make you appear slimmer.
Choosing the right type of bra for your top also plays a major role in the shape of your silhouette.
Focus on the following points to ensure your bra is the right fit.
The centre of your bra should lay flat between your breasts.
The back of your underwire should reach all the way back to the front of your armpit.
If the band of your bra is constantly riding up in the back, this means the band is too big.
YOUR T-SHIRT.
The goal shape when wearing a t-shirt is to lift and round the bust, rather than neglect and soften your shape. This will make your silhouette appear taller and slimmer.

2. YOUR BLOUSE & SHIRT.
A blouse and loosely fit shirt, deserves to have a soft lace bralette beneath.
This will complement the feminine silhouette your shirt/blouse fulfils.
Keep in mind.
If you are heavy chested, your bralette must be the right shape to cover and shape around your bust.

3. CAMISOLE & OFF THE SHOULDER
Strapless bra’s can be tricky and become unflattering. Avoid those that drop off the bust requiring you to constantly adjust!
Find one that hugs you well and forms the right shape around your bust.
3. STRAPLESS BRA.

4. YOUR DEEP V-TOP.
The plunge bra is perfect for deep V tops and open shirts.
The selected plunge bras below have padding for the extra lift and shape. The plunge bras that act like a bralette are great for those with an A or B cup.
