Feel the fashion: Textured summer styles you’ll love

Subtle yet impactful 

Among summer’s favourite and most evocative textiles are broderie anglaise and lace details. These unique finishes (when handled with care) offer refined nuances to fashion ensembles through their cut and stitching, adding depth to otherwise simple silhouettes. Ladies can pair an anglaise sundress or a jacquard mini with dainty heels and dangling earrings for easy elegance on the go, while men can wear shirts with ladder lace details or insets that make a statement paired with jeans or shorts.  

*Keep accessories minimal. Think leather sandals, straw hats and beaded jewellery in natural tones to complement the aesthetic of crochet. 

Effortless ease  

Crinkled fabrics are a dream (no ironing!). They move beautifully and signal a relaxed elegance that fits right into a busy life. A crinkle maxi dress or skirt will take you from errands to sundowners; men can pair crinkle cotton shirts with chinos or linen shorts for a laid-back yet put-together vibe. Finish the look with simple plain sneakers. 

*It’s best to let the fabric shine as the ‘statement’. Avoid busy prints and opt for neutral or pastel tones to showcase the texture.
