An All Saints Summer
05-04-2011
As summer approaches we need to start thinking about what to add to our wardrobe that will bring us up to date with trend while importantly replacing the lots of winter layers for some thin loose layering – there is no better place to do this than www.allsaints.com
Shorts
Gunray Lowe Shorts £55 / Chalk Rowe Shorts £45 / Voser Playsuit £65 / Voser Long Playsuit £75
Where better to start a summer wardrobe than with a pair of shorts. AllSaints Gunray Lowe and Chalk Lowe Shorts would be FashionCapital’s choice. The Gunray Shorts are hemmed for a tailored look while the frayed hem on the Chalk Rowe shorts would give a rustic feel to your outfit. A long or short Voser Playsuit gives the appearance of a loose vest top and trousers without the extra weight of two pieces.
Print Dresses and Skirt
Ikat Dress £95 / Aztek Skirt £165/ Aztec Dress £295 / Aztec Dress £295
A loose but flattering summer dress is a wardrobe must have for the summer days going into evenings. The print and gathered skirt of the Ikat dress in neutral colours gives you a playful elegance. AllSaints have a selection of Aztec printed dresses, reminding you of the art of the warmer Mexican climates. They also offer an Aztec print skirt seen here accompanied by a Dano T – £30.
Tailoring and Tomboy
Marvel shirt – £85 / Marvel shirt – £85 / Rebel Jumper £120 / Damery Jacket £295
For the tomboys and androgonist’s out there a Marvel shirt buttoned the whole way to the top will give you that masculine silhouette while the soft fabrics will still flatter your womanly curves. Adding a Rebel Jumper or Demery Jacket will see you into the colder summer evenings.
Coats and Jackets
Abel Tailcoat – £225 / Flava Trench – £195 / Savoy St. Mac – £250 / Parliament Jacket £250
For the classic British summer night it’s a great idea to have something with a bit more fabric when it comes to coats but nothing heavy that will weigh you down. At FashionCapital we love a classic. The Flava Trench and Savoy St. Mac are loose enough that they still let you breath but give you that bit of extra warmth you will need. The Abel Tailcoat is another twist on a classic brought into the 21st Century, while the Parliament Jacket gives you the classic AllSaints Cowl Neck.
Dresses
Malu Dress £150 / Mea Dress £110 / Misae Dress £120
Summer most of all is Party Season! Whether on the beach, out with the girls or at a fashion event, AllSaints have a Summer Party Dress for you! The earth tones and leather strap detailing on the Malu Dress gives you a loose flowing yet classy look to a day dress. When it comes to going out with the girls, all eyes would be on you in the Mea Dress in 100% silk it won’t weigh you down but keep you cool in the summer heat. For that fashion event? You can’t go wrong with AllSaints answer to the LBD (Little Black Dress). The Misea Dress gives you that bit of extra fabric you need in the summer while accompanied Freya Belt – £120 synching in the waist flatters your summer figure.
