Fishnets

Fishnets are making a comeback, in a big way, specifically under distressed denim.
Try the peekaboo effect paired with a crop top, to see the top of your tights peeking out of the waistline of your jeans.
Dress them up or down with accessories, and add some edgy yet glamorous Tom Ford sunnies to complete the look.

Wellies

For the August month in the UK, summer showers are bound to happen.
Better safe than sorry, drudging through mud in sandals is never fun.
Have your bright, printed, or polkadot wellington boots at the ready.
Pair with shorts, a strappy top and your trusty mac for the ultimate dancing in the rain ensemble, and don’t let the rain clouds dull your shine.

Dungarees

Yet another fashion item that has made a big comeback.
Whether you choose denim, linen, cotton or even leather; long or short, dungarees are the new it piece.
Pair with a crop top underneath to beat the summer heat or even add a frilly jumper if you are feeling particularly chilly.
Those front pockets are great for keeping essentials close.

Off Shoulder

A trend that has taken over high street and runway alike, is the off shoulder top.
Choose your colour or print; lace, frills, stripes, they are all readily available.
And feel the (hopefully) sunshine on your shoulders.

Kimono

The kimono trend is not going anywhere anytime soon.
They just keep getting more elaborate, from floor length to cropped, sheer, appliqued, lacy, or with a fringe, or all of the above if you can pull it off.
It is the ultimate cover up, and adds instant drama to any outfit.
Another item that does just that, is this pair of statement sunnies.

Reminiscent of a tropical getaway, printed cotton shorts are breezy, comfortable and fun.
They come in a myriad of colours and prints.
Pair with your choice of your top, from graphic or slogan tees to bardot bell sleeve masterpieces.

Crop Tops

Pair a crop top with high waisted bottoms to flatter any body shape.
The strappy-er the better.
The faux suede number, above, adds the perfect boho touch to any outfit.

Gingham

When it comes to prints, nothing is trending more than gingham right now.
Whether tops, bottoms, or a matching set.
Pair high waisted gingham shorts with an off shoulder top for the perfect festival fashionista ensemble.
Don’t forget to add some intrigue with a fun pair of geometric sunglasses.
