Fashion: Dressing Well's Summer Fashion Tips

Society | May 16, 2003, Friday // 00:00

High-Impact Colour
From shocking fuchsia to bright canary yellows, high impact colour takes centre stage for spring and summer 2003. Tone these colours down by pairing them with khakis; play them up by wearing them together. While brights will look great with anything white once summer is officially here, be aware that these strong colours paired only with black can look a bit harsh and dated. Think light and fresh when donning all your brights this season.

Utility-Style Pants
Inspired by military attire, the hippest pant choices this season sport cargo pockets, carpenter details, zippers, toggles and drawstrings. Roomy and comfortable, their signature side pockets are streamlined and not as bulky as they have been in the past. They are most popular in khaki and denim fabrics and in Capri and cropped lengths.

Retro Prints
Want to celebrate all that is retro this season without looking old fashioned? Pick up a polka dot A-line skirt (the shorter it is, the more fashionable you'll be), add an oversized tote with a bold print such as one that depicts the wild west or select a scarf with a turquoise or baby pink theme and pair it with a chocolate brown suit. As with any whimsical print, be sure it is the focal point of your outfit and don't
overdo it.

Coral Accents
If you want to accessorize with more subtlety this season, load up on coral! Real and faux coral stones are everywhere and can give your wardrobe a fresh look. We consider tops accessories, because of the way that they can alter the presentation of an outfit. Consider adding a few coral tops to your base wardrobe in addition to jewelry pieces. Coral looks most modern with chocolate brown, white and silver this season.

Shirt Dresses
There is something about slipping on a dress when the temperature starts to soar. It can be a quick, feminine fix and an easy choice on both work and play days. A shirt-dress, which features a straight silhouette with buttons down the front, can be ideal for the office when it is presented professionally. More casual styles can double as beach cover-ups.
