Comfort. That’s what we all love. And when it comes to clothes, it is no exception.
This Spring/Summer season, comfort is top on the list and designers did not fail to deliver. Clothes have got to be light as air, breathable clothes while not compromising on style.
Again, if we look closely at what the big designers have done this season, we will know exactly what to look out for in the casual wear department.
Let’s bring out what Etro did for S/S 2010. From the picture above, you can see Etro did olive green (military mode) shorts and blazer (with a casual spin to it) and paired it with a bold striped t-shirt. This look is great for a trip to the mall or for tea with friends over the weekend.
I love this look below. Also from Etro, the material is light as a feather silk on pants! (Karl Lagerfeld loves silk pants as well). The colours in this ensemble are pastels pink and blue with a white cardigan. But you know what makes this whole palliate work? The black strip right at the hips. That’s what pulls it together and gives it that sporty spin. You might want to try something similar with pieces you already have in your closet then maybe sling a black leather belt low on the hip.

You can’t get by this season without a casual weekend dress. This one from 3.1 Philip Lim is just so chic. Its floaty, light and absolutely girly. Notice the uniqueness of this dress. It has a pleated skirt that just swirls as you walk. What I love most is how the designer put in panels of different materials all over this dress. It gives this dress personality. Check out my Catherine D collection for dresses with pleated skirts. Those pieces will swoon you over.
Doo.Ri did sheer dresses this season. This piece below has been cut with a gathered skirt that whooshes about as you move. Its sheer fabric adds a dose of sensuality but when worn with appropriate underwear (let’s face it we just don’t see ourselves walking out the door exposing our inside wear!), this dress will look stunning and can bring you from day to night. My new batch of designs would have sheer pieces – blouses and dresses. These will be hitting the boutiques next week. So, watch out for my post.
This dress from Etro is my favourite of all casual dresses. Firstly because it comes in my favourite colour! Second of all, it’s got the frills at the top which I think is so feminine. The sheer fabric gives it a pinch of sexiness and the sleeves make you look so breezy.
This dress is girliness indulgence. And why not. It’s quite enough to have to put on appearances of authority at work or in business. This dress calls for a time for ourselves. It’s my time…my time and so help me God I will dress to please me!
