Oh what a year! To steal a line from Her Majesty, I’m fairly confident 2020 is going down in the record books as an “annus horribilis” aka, a horrible year.
But it’s not all doom and gloom—the sun is shining again, lockdowns have lifted and things seem to be looking up across this fine country of ours, and if that isn’t a GREAT reason to get together with friends and/or family, I don’t know what is!
As the temperatures continue to rise, have your style follow suit and revamp your wardrobe with some fresh, elevated summer looks. From bright colours to matching separates, I’ve pulled together some of this summer's hottest trends perfect for celebrations big and small—and they look great with Avarcas.
The Co-ord
Take the hassle out of finding and matching separates by embracing one of this summer’s biggest trends—the co-ord.
The co-ord (as in coordinating pieces) is a great way to show off your style and personality without sending yourself into a frenzy trying to mix and match pieces. Plus, they’ll also work as separates—adding extra versatility to your wardrobe.
Blazer: Kmart Double Breasted Blazer $30
Shorts: Linen Blend Co-ord Short $15
Tank: Sleeveless Stretch Tank $4.75
The Dress
Summer is the perfect time to embrace fashion’s power player—the dress. It’s the ideal piece to have in your wardrobe for those times when you’re short on time but want to make a big impact. All you need to do in throw it on, add your Avarcas and head out the door!
