Summer brights

We just love this time of year! We've had those gorgeous spring flowers: daffodils, tulips, bluebells and now the promise of a sunny, warm summer to come (well, so they say). 

This year’s spring/summer colour palette reflects the flowers and signposts of the seasons: blues, yellows, corals, greens and, of course, seaside nautical navy and white.

Floral patterns are popular again, with the 60s and 70s making another comeback, this time with a modern twist. Floaty wide-leg trousers, floral crops, suede fringing on anything from waistcoats to handbags, denim, pantsuits, glam rock … it all brings back memories of the Summer of Love, Marc Bolan and Ziggy Stardust.

Textures and fabrics are important too. Suede, different weights of denim, sheer panels, crochet, linen and sport luxe are all in the mix. Leather is always bang on trend and can be teamed with virtually anything to give a rock chick, studded vibe or a luxurious, supple textured outfit with a light cashmere top, heels or ballet flats.

Dresses of all types are still in vogue, from demure tea dresses to boho maxis. Easy to wear, just slip on a cardi or jacket to dress up or dress down, we love dresses. Toni Pickles here at Get Waisted can create any style, bespoke to your shape, skin tone, fabric choice and event so whether it’s a day dress for the office or holiday, something special for an anniversary or party, cruise wear or wedding day, you can rely on being the only one wearing it.

Beautiful maxi dress ideal for a cruise or that special occasion
