Doing it without coming over too fancy dress, however, takes an approach to styling that’s a little less Copacabana and a little more chic. Work yours with sleek accessories for a summery yet grown up look. Here are three ways we’ll be working it – scroll through our gallery above for details.

1. Printed Pants: Brilliantly shown by Beyonce here, you can’t go wrong with a tropical print trouser. Pair yours with clashing but simple shaped pumps, a sleek black shirt and some glitzy jewellery for a great day to night look.

Here are three surefire ways to work the look.

1. The Printed Frock: As seen on Jessica Alba, a printed dress works perfectly for a slice of grown up summer chic.

Here. co opting the help of certain trusty outfits can work wonders. Taking in printed shorts and nude coloured dresses, colourful maxis and statement shoes, here are three ways we’ll be working summer in our city this season.

1. Printed Shorts: As seen on Olivia Palermo, the tailored city short is a surefire way to chic and sleek whilst keeping it very summer friendly.

Inspired by three impeccably dressed celebrities, here are three ways we might work it this year.

1. White Lady: As ably demonstrated by Miranda Kerr, sometimes the simplest formula is the most effective. Wearing a white kaftan with simple sandals and a very chic hat (the bigger the better) gives a timeless look that’s romantic in summery in equal measures.

3. Colour your Kaftan: As seen on Jessica Alba, summery coloured Kaftans work wonders for a more glam beachfront look.

Luxe Boho http://www.koturltd.com/blog/2013/06/three-ways-to-wear-luxe-boho/ http://www.koturltd.com/blog/2013/06/three-ways-to-wear-luxe-boho/#comments Fri, 21 Jun 2013 05:44:41 +0000 kotur http://www.koturltd.com/blog/?p=10339 ]]> When it comes to a trend ideally suited for summer, Luxe Boho is pretty much on the money. A favorite of designers when they turn to beach friendly looks, this season it appears again, with a small sheen of gloss over it. From floaty palazzo pants to sleek maxis and tunic style minis, the key elements of this Summer’s take on the trend are glossy and really rather glamorous. Here are three ways we’ll be working the look.

1. Glamorous Maxis: As shown at Etro, when it comes to making a boho statement nothing does it quite like a printed maxi dress. This season’s come in knockout prints, bright colours and with plenty of embellishment, perfect for dressing up with some smart gold accessories for an uber-glam evening look.

2. Perfect Palazzos: Switch your maxi skirt for a pair of palazzo pants for a chic boho look. Pair with a simple silk top for the easy approach, or mix up your prints for the full hippie effect in a look that works as well for day as for summer nights.

3. Try a tunic: There isn’t much that sexier than a summery printed tunic dress – as ably demonstrated on countless occasions by Isabel Marant. Whether paired with sleek heels or simple sandals, it’s an ideal summer staple designed to take you from day to night. (Knockout accessories, essential.)

Long a colour associated more with childrenswear than adults, how to pull of proper brights whilst still seeming chic still presents a bit of a conundrum, however. Taking our cue from the Mrs Burch and Herrera, however, there is a route through the chaos that can be citrus to a chic summer look. Using simple, sleek and feminine shapes in knockout brights creates a summery fashion wardrobe sure to make a statement and tick the trend boxes, too. Here are three ways we’ll be working the Citrus look.

1. Lemon Yellow:  In perhaps the easiest iteration of citrus, lemon yellow as seen at Diane von Furstenberg manages to be bright and pretty all at the same time. Go for minimal, clean shapes, avoid anything fussy and pair with sleek metallic accessories to keep it looking sophisticated.

Necklace from www.topshop.com, metalic shoes by Gianvito Rossi at www.matchesfashion.com and Kotur embossed Morley in croc available here.

2. Tangerine Dream: As shown by Carolina Herrera, there is nothing that needn’t be sophisticated about orange, you just have to pick you hue and shape carefully. Stick to romantic, feminine silhouettes with a touch of embellishment, think burnt rather than bright orange, and work in heavy gold accessories for a decadent, glamorous take on dressing that’s perfect for summer nights.

3. Tutti Frutti: For the whole shebang, work a citrus flavoured print to give a look that just screams summer. Soft cotton shapes (as seen at Tory Burch) work well with crisp cotton tees and natural accessories for a look that’s relaxed and incredibly chic.

This season, there are several ways to work the look. Whether it’s pulled together and preened or mixed in with print, safari style is sure to set the summer mood. Here are three ways we’ll be working the look.

1. Short and sweet:  Working a safari short suit a la Belstaff is a great way to do a look that works well for both smart and casual. Pair with a simple silk blouse and minimal heels to keep it looking slick.

Perfect for parties, beaches, daywear and more, the right one normally proves to be the hardest working item in your summer wardrobe. This season, there are severel ways to work that very dress, florals coming in different iterations for a colourful take on hot weather dressing. Whether dark and moody, a la Yves Saint Laurent or something all together more sugary as inspired by Oscar de la Renta, here are three ways we’ll be working our summer florals this year.

1. As seen at cocktail dress maestro Oscar de la Renta’s show, pretty pastels do florals in a very flattering and lovely, traditional light. Add a little bit of edge to your floral dresses with accessories that give a bit of a pop for a garden party approach to daytime dressing.

2. As shown by Mr Ralph Lauren, florals don’t have to come in pretty colours to make quite the pretty impact. Dark reds and greens and black backgrounds give a sophisticated take on flowery dressing that works especially well for night.

3. For the youthful take on this traditional summer fabric, add a touch of neon and super bright colours to you floral mix as seen at Moschino. Pair with ladylike shoes and statement jewels for the modern way to do summer dressing.
