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.

SPRING BY A BOY NAMED SUE

goodies from a boy named sue

Whew! It's been hot and muggish to say the least for the past few days, so I was very thankful to A Boy Named Sue for the abundance of chilled sangria during their spring launch last night. We were treated to a preview of this season's pieces whilst enjoying cool drinks and delish treats (see chocolate donuts above) at Common Ground in Sheung Wan. A Boy Named Sue is an online store based in Hong Kong dedicated to sourcing sustainable and cultural fashion by dux from across the globe. One of my favorite pieces, the THU THU biker jacket with colorful cross-stitch embroidery, is constructed from ethnic blankets made by women in Sapa, Vietnam. Another, the Hien Lee white perforated skirt, is actually made out of Alcantara vegan suede, a eco friendly alternative to leather.  The quality, modernity and level of detail of these pieces is pretty amazing. Just look at the embroidery on the Filip + Inna piece (2nd from last photo), completely hand-sewn with beading too. Another standout line was Partimi, featuring silk tees and dresses with digital prints of patterns and nature. I've been really impressed by the progression of eco fashion in the past years. It's definitely come a long way from the homespun worn by hippies in the 60's. I guess it's time to go eco chic!

If you're an eco person, check out A Boy Named Sue's spring collection on their website here.
