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.

2. Totally Tropical Day Dress: Make like Kate Bosworth in a tropical printed day dress for an easy summer look. Pair with tan accessories for a laid back approach to daytime chic.

3. Leopard Love: Love a bit of leopard print a la Miranda Kerr for a full on take on print. Keep the shapes simple and your accessories clean and pared back for a chic approach.

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. Pictures: Catwalk Etro SS13, Paisley halterneck dress, blue printed Roberto Cavalli kaftan, white Issa embellished kaftan, coral Notte by Marchesa dress, Musa jewelled sandals and Givenchy gold heels all from www.net-a-porter.com. Saloni Ria printed dress and Rosantica earrings from www.matchesfashion.com and Kotur clutch for Operation Smile available here.

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. Pictures: Catwalk Roberto Cavalli SS13, paisley black, white and purple pants by Etro, Temperley pastel palazzos, The Row simple tunic blouse, Mario Testino for Mate T shirt and J Crew printed shirt all from www.net-a-porter.com. Saloni Iris print trousers, MSGM blue panther print pants both from www.matchesfashion.com, wedges from www.topshop.com and Saber tooth necklace, Kotur Morley in Raffia and Kotur exclusive Chiawa scarf all available here.

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.)

Obviously…) we couldn’t help but think of what kind of look we would go for this time round. Would it be Saint Laurent inspired sultry (ever so fitting for this year’s Punk theme,) would it be fashion forward (all the better for pleasing that particularly tough crowd,) or would it be Gala staple pretty, ball gowns from De La Renta et al that are designed for big fashion moments such as these. Here are the three options laid out for you to choose from. Met Gala Glamour – which way would you work it?

1. Sultry Chic – As inspired by Saint Laurent, and particularly fitting for this year’s ‘Punk: Chaos to Couture’ exhibit, coming over all moody on the red carpet could be quite the way to make a statement (not to mention incredibly Spring Summer 2013…) Pictures: Catwalk, Saint Laurent SS13, Rochas bustier red and black dress, Alexander McQueen corseted dress and embellished prom style black dress by Jason Wu all from www.matchesfashion.com, red and black printed chiffon dress by Saint Laurent, leather bodiced and tulle gown from Valentino and Loree Rodkin earrings all from www.net-a-porter.com, gold belted gown by Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent sandals and Kotur Pearce clutch available here.

2. Fashion Forward: Make a statement with the it crowd wearing this seasons’s hottest designers and statement making looks – no wallflowers need apply here… Pictures: Catwalk, Jason Wu SS13, Roksanda Illincic pink and black gown and Christopher Kane printed chiffon dress from www.net-a-porter.com, Marios Schwab crystal embellished gown, Tom Binns earrings, Alexander McQueen choker and Alaia nude sandals all from www.matchesfashion.com, Kotur Espey in sand available here.

3. Perfectly Pretty: Nothing says gala quite like a pretty gown. Here’s our pick of the season’s best.
