CEBU, Philippines - Summer is almost ending. But there's still time to enjoy the sun, the beach and the sand. And these fun summer activities are always better done in style.
Following are four key summer-look suggestions for a casual boyish look, girly clothes with tomboy undertones, monochromes and the bold, bright and colorful pieces to complement the clear summer days and the high ambient temperatures.
Skate Away
Provides a fresh antidote to all the hi-tech sporty styles from previous seasons, to create a casual look that is in line with this summer's boyish slouch aesthetic slant.
Kiss Me Margate
A celebration of the seaside days past, of endless summers and quirky picture postcards. This look includes A-Line shift dresses, cropped blouses and the modern "ankle grazer."
New Monochrome
A strong catwalk trend, where outfit building is contrasted with black or white separates to create a rather commercial monochrome look.
Tropicalism
Clashing prints are key in this style as are the newest up-scaled, embellished necklines and craft-inspired shoes and accessories. Clean, modern shapes bring this look up-to-date, and let the patterns do the talking!
