Obsessing again and again over this season’s key offerings, a few
palatable patterns have undeniably characterized this eventful season. Whether it is
the cut of a garment, the slip of skin underneath a sleeve, or a signature
colour combination, here are four divine trends that are the
hallmarks of this summer.

Paired with a sleek and clean ponytail, the Couture Athletica look is characterized by its attention to active wear details. Think mesh, translucency and strong cutout lines, liberating you with the freedom to move in an urban, high performance jungle.
Although exposure of skin is an obvious feature of this look, it should be executed in strategic moderation. The use of a translucency, and mixture of both body con and voluminous pieces are two ways to achieve this look. Make-up should be kept fresh and natural, with a dewy youthful finish.
With its signature dispersion of neon and hyper-hued prints, the Neo-Digital print trend was spearheaded by visionary fashion labels Prabal Gurung and Givenchy. With an unapologetic explosion of color, selective styling is key. Be militant with the number of garments you choose, always remembering that clean lines and fewer fashion pieces help to frame and compose the entire look better.
Any accessory accents paired with this look should complement and echo the predominant garment in terms of color. This Iosselliani necklace for example, works nicely with the Prabal top because they both possess a striking jewel blue.
The Colour Clash trend requires a woman who isn’t afraid of wearing a strong rouge lip and a super arched brow. The muted pastels of pink and mint green are unabashedly mixed with the formidable hues of royal blue and electric orange. A combination of different colors and intensities are key for this look.
Whether it pays homage to impeccable tailoring, voluminous draping or fluid simple lines, the Colour Clash look works in a variety of silhouettes and proportions. It requires a bold attitude to pull off this gorgeous confrontation of colour.
Call it a celestial vision or an angelic dream, Flight of White plays with the idea of divinity in its purest form. This season it comes in the form of masculine boxy tailoring, mixed with rich creams, ivories, and silver jewelry. To counteract the strength of the jackets, hair should be kept soft and relaxed with an almost-undetectable waviness.
To add a touch of femininity, try adding dainty lace details, or pieces that move with silken fluidity. Finding that balance between hard and soft is key to Flight of White.
