Tell me what's your choice and I'll tell you who you are

Completely imperceptibly but the spring is now gradually growing into summer.  Unlike the weather, which stayed prodigiously unusual and unpredictable but steady at least (where we are); this year's fashion arena surprised with extremely contrasting collections.

Two utterly opposite but equally compelling trends turned the fashion arena into a battlefield : breathy and fresh whites versus bold splashes of colour .

At some point it seemed that the high street retailers were not quite sure about what to display on their shopwindows.

The great advantage of this year’s variety is that it allows you to choose and combine. You may decide to go the safe way- investing into a nude palette, or may feel brave enough to make a statement by opting for colour-blocking. As long as the trends are not capricious or mutually-excluding, you will look great in any of those by sticking to a couple of rudimentary rules.


This season the spectrum of nudes allows you to layer multiple textiles and combine totally different styles in a single outfit. Ethereal fabrics are particularly prevailing and are great to streamline layers of various pale shades in unusual ensembles and endless variations. This is a great chance to put your ruffles of organza along with ribbon bows and sheen laces.

Make a lucrative investment into an ivory Chiffon blouse or white trousers and wear it with whatever other white garment you have.

But as much as delicate, the excessive amount of floaty pale is extremely treacherous and can unflatteringly derive you off a bodyline. To avoid this, you can conciliate alluring chiffons by balancing them out with heavy cotton and slubbed linens. 


Alternatively if you feel you are ready to make a statement raw and exuberantly saturated colours will suite you just right.  The trick is to keep the silhouette simple and devoid of plump lines and decorative frills.
Can be a good solution for somebody looking to disguise their body shape. Keep it ample but rigid. Go for blatant, loud colours and the straight lines will do the job. For a chique look embellish with a tiny gold belt buckle, broche or a gold chain entwined in your bag’s strap.

Just do like Kazimir and success is guaranteed.

But however much I love the style these flashy outbursts are not bound to last long. So enjoy as long as you can and go BANANAS!
