ON THE STREETS

Make a statement with barely there pieces and calls from the wild. Not for the faint of heart.

"Inject fresh edge to your sheer look with primary colours and team with statement-making boots to balance the girlish notes. From top: Keep it timeless in monochrome. Go short and sweet in crimson. Make a maxi statement in bold violet"

1 CLEAR AS DAY

Reign supreme in sheer pieces for day. Opt for separates that are sensuous and sweet, with dramatic details such as pleats and frills. Add extra coverage with a coordinating slip or a contrasting bodysuit.

6 DARE TO BARE

Soft, feminine fabrics can make for a strong and modern statement. The bright, voluminous see-through frocks at Chanel and Gucci were worn with elegant extras. At Fendi, a sense of playful innocence came through via sheer babydoll dresses that played peekaboo with hand-knitted undergarments. It’s naivety that’s dripping with sexappeal.

7 IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE

After months of staying home, go loud and proud with prints of the wilderness when you hit the streets. Whether you decide on a nature or animal motif, the look evokes a sense of wonder and exploration. Keep to tailored pieces for a sophisticated take on this trend.

10 BULLSEYE

It’s about time we talk about the underdog: Cow print. Thinkof it as an organically shaped polka dot that offers just as much versatility and easy styling with other wardrobe staples. Plus, it offers an unexpected, quirkytwist.
