5 Fashionable Outfit Ideas to Summer Months

During the warmer months, natural clothing is the way to go. Natural clothing is the latest mantra in the fashion world because it is natural and wearable. Also, you can easily get so many different varieties of like cotton, linen or viscose or even rayon. Not only do they give you a cool quotient and help you stay put during the warm weather, it is also very fashionable.

Here Are 5 Fashionable Outfit Ideas For Summer Months

1. Full Sleeve Cotton Shirt

A full sleeve cotton shirt is one of the most versatile and flexible pieces that you can have in your summer wardrobe. And it is essential that you own at least one. It can be something like a button down blouse or even a regular shirt that can be rolled up on the sleeves to give you a cool look. It goes with skirts, jackets, jeans, trousers and almost anything. Plus it works from day to night.

2. Dress Shirt

A good cotton dress shirt is more like a tunic that comes with a belt. It can be worn with either leggings or even just as a dress. Pick a dress shirt that comes with a belt to accentuate your curves. If you want to cover up a bit then just add a pair of leggings.

3. Cotton Trousers/ Capris/ Shorts

You can either own all three pieces in your wardrobe or at least have two from here. These are just right for the warm summer months. For a casual look stick to capris or shorts and if you are going formal, pick from straight or slim fit trousers that offer a more classy look.

4. Cotton Maxi Dresses

For those living in very humid areas, a good cotton-based maxi dress is a must own. Being natural it helps in absorbing sweet and yet makes you look glamorous and sexy. You can pick from a maxi dress style that is either halter neck, spaghetti style or even something that is strapless.

5. Flowy Cotton Skirts

Go for a neutral colored natural material based skirt in print, which is either flowy or frilly. It is the perfect way to flaunt your cool and fashionable quotient and can be paired with anything light on the top. You can also create a clash of prints here.

URBAN UNIFORM

wearing: h&m wide-brimmed felt hat, forever 21 chiffon shirt, cotton on grey pleather pants, black pointed toe heels, celine black trapeze bag, black moustache ring

It's that time again when spring rain takes over the city, and I just feel like never getting out of bed ever. But no fear, something is to be gained from this grey situation. Being a monochrome lover, I composed my outfit to match Hong Kong's dreariness as well as the wonderfully grungy backdrop of Sheung Wan. I feel like this is something I could wear whenever and wherever - it's just so very me.

MIAMI HEAT

With the recent release of the movie Spring Breakers, I thought that it some vividly provocative dressing was called for. Whilst I admit that my outfit is not nearly as skimpy as that of Vanessa Hudgens/Ashley Benson in the movie, the neon palette does evoke some sense of Miami Beach vacations. I'm super grateful to Electric Sekki for lending me these pieces, especially the gorgeous Superga sneakers. As a heels-lover, I stepped into these comfy yet glam shoes with a sigh of relief. Comfort and style is something that my life could do with. On the topic of Superga, they JUST opened their flagship store in Hong Kong recently. In fact, tonight they are launching their construction of the world's biggest shoe in HarbourCity, Tsim Sha Tsui. I'm headed their myself as we speak to check it out. Look out for photos in this space!

Check out Superga shoes at Shop 2607, Level 2, Gateway Arcade, Harbour City, Kowloon. Open daily from 10am to 10pm

In the past couple of seasons, James Franco has been representing the brand 7 For All Mankind in their media campaigns. This season, he has collaborated with them yet again to produce a short film 'A Beautiful Odyssey' as part of the Spring/Summer 2013 multimedia campaign. Inspired by the poetry of William Blake, the film embodies love and connectivity in the setting of a Californian wedding. 7 For All Mankind approached me to introduce you all to their media campaign and also to interpret their Spring/Summer '13 pieces in a way befitting 'A Beautiful Odyssey'.

As soon as I set eyes upon those 7 For All Mankind floral print jeans, I could already feel the Californian sun on my face and the sand between my toes. That shade of aqua is particularly akin to the blue of swimming pools and ocean waves. With the onset of Coachella and the dominating presence of summery festival photos on Instagram, Californian inspiration has been overwhelming the past couple of days. I didn't have much trouble picking out what to wear with the floral piece. As the denim was already a statement piece in itself, I chose to pair it with neutral heels and a simple textured peplum top, balancing it up top with a brightly colored ribbon necklace. I think that the gold, blue and white palette really embodies the perfect California wedding in the sun and the sea.

'A Beautiful Odyssey' is multimedia campaign designed to be interactive for all of you. It has been released in several segments so that fans can vote towards the way they want the storyline to go. I hope that you all will watch the film and vote a happy ending, whatever you feel it may be!

DESERT ODYSSEY

wearing: 7 for all mankind leather blocked tee in black, tribal print skirt, jeffrey campbell black suede litas, jeremy scott x linda farrow mickey mouse sunglasses, gold cuff and leopard print geometric necklace. photos by chris cheng

And to you, ladies and gentlemen, I present the 2nd installation to my collaboration with 7 For All Mankind. This ensemble was inspired by the kaleidoscope shots and the surreal cutting of the 'A Beautiful Odyssey' short film, part of 7 For All Mankind's spring/summer campaign. I guess it may have influenced me to pick these out-of-this-world mickey mouse sunglasses for this outfit. Very Lady Gaga-esque - indeed, I think Mama Monster even donned these sunnies for her Paparazzi music video. I was wholly embracing the fact that there was enough sunlight that day to even CONSIDER wearing sunglasses - a rare occurence in polluted Hong Kong. The 7 For All Mankind piece featured in this outfit is the buttery-soft black tee. I chose it on the basis that I really do have a thing for leather, and I admired the way it looked even when creased. The shapes created by the leather mirror the geometrical patterns of the skirt and the necklace. Overall, I think this whimsical look transforms me from an budding blogger to a surreal desert space creature. And let's face it, who wouldn't want to be an alien?
