16 | June 2013 www.womanthismonth.com Fashion Fashion Forward The WTM team has handpicked some wardrobe essentials to keep up with spring/summer 2013 trends. Add any one of these pieces to take your outfit to new heights. Collar Necklace If you are a fashion observer, you must have noticed that lately collars are getting lots of attention with decorative motifs, in different colours from the rest of the shirt. The trend has now moved into the world of accessories. Add a cool collar necklace to any top or dress. You will find them in different materials and shapes; Hobbs made it in delicate lace. Maxi Skirt The dress is a symbol of femininity. Summer days are the best period to take them out for a walk. The long skirt stretches your silhouette and is best paired with flat sandals. Don’t forget to highlight your waist like in this printed option from Marks & Spencer. Vibrant Scarf Scarves may have a winter connotation, but they also feature in women’s summer looks. It is a versatile accessory that can be teamed with a fluid dress or shorts. Mango has an array of pieces in bold colours that will match with the season’s energy; most of them are found in patterns, but your focus should be on the colour palette. Sandal Boots Who wears boots in summer? Celebrities and fashion trendsetters have given this winter icon a fresh touch. In most cases, the toes are open or the feet are wrapped in straps. Light colours and materials give to it a softer appearance. Victoria Beckham embraced the concept and took it to her runway show in high and flat heels.
