www.womanthismonth.com 95 July-August 2015 STAY COOL For grown-ups, GAP’s collection is perfect for sand, sky and ocean. One of the hottest trends of the season, the white factor, can be easily spotted in the ladies’ line. Essential cotton tops and light-weight slip dresses showcase feminine knot and cut-out details. The nautical influence and workwear references are represented by shorts and shirts with accents of embroidery and an array of different textures. Must-have pieces include slub rayon, eyelet and linen across dresses, skirts, tops and shorts. GAP’s high summer collection has new volumes and simplistic shapes and interesting silhouettes in easy-to-wear shorts mixed with the brand’s casual American style. Shorts are always a summer staple and this year they are a bit longer in fabrics such as linen, denim and light-weight poplin. The designs include stylish culottes, Bermudas and track shorts for women and girls. For men and boys, turf, track and hiker shorts are the jazzy picks this season. The essential pieces can be paired with pastel shades, colourful or even neutral-toned tops. The high points of this collection are not confined to contemporary designs and delightful fabrics. An explosion of amusing prints is also part of both women’s and men’s collections. New tropical and exotic motifs stamp novelty short-sleeved shirts in a variety of new colour compositions. To finalise your look, don’t forget to look for the brand’s eye-catching accessories. You can add crisp white basics or a funky pop of colour to complete your look.
