Trucco goes for a summer with a '70s soul

MANILA, Philippines - Trucco says this will be a season of clothes that are classic, corporate yet chic and with a tinge of ’70s soul. Perfect for the señorita who’s off to a power meeting, out for a get-together with girlfriends, or letting her hair down for fancy cocktails. The Spanish brand unveils its latest collection with several looks:

•Navy-inspired items are making a splash. A classic navy and white top or a striped dress exudes crisp, clean lines and understated chic while a tailored navy jacket conveys class. Trucco goes all aboard and makes waves with these nautical numbers.

•Trench coats are top-of-mind. Flattering women’s trenches come in either muted earth colors, feminine hues or the sophisticated darker shades that will definitely add glam to denims, sheath dresses, cargo pants, ankle boots, tights with contrasting colors and textures for a sleek, streamlined look.

•Maxi dresses equals maxi style. With hemlines that hit the floor, Trucco’s throwback trend revolves around maxi dresses bedecked with a burst of ultra-feminine flora. Floor-length and flowing, they are great with gypsy scarves, shoe booties, layered sequined necklaces and a loose and lightweight slouch-body bag.

To the maxi: Maxi dresses look great with a loose and lightweight slouch-body bag.

•Off-center necklines, seams and shoulders take center-stage. Asymmetrical dresses are classy wrap pieces for the working woman. There are long gray dresses with large lapels and pocket details to patterned ones in interesting cuts and lengths that flatter the legs.

•Go black, go brown, go shiny for cocktail hour with Trucco’s cocktail dresses. Slip into a lace-trimmed black or brown satin accentuated by stunning sequins or beads.
