FASHION / IDEAS

Create your own style

Fashion trends change quickly and hunting for the most stylish items of the season for your wardrobe is sometimes a tiring job. Setting a trend of your own might be a good idea these days since it allows you to learn how to mix and match an assortment of different styles.

Whether you're looking for inspiration for a perfect look for that special occasion or you've already got a certain concept in mind, a viti to The Mall, The Emporium and Paragon might give you more ideas since these department stores are currently running the "About Fashion" campaign, which offers a wide range of fashion items in various designs from more than 100 leading brands. The campaign introduces 4 fashion styles - The New Romantic, It's 80s, Disco Night and Get Sporty - you might find that one of them, if not all, hit the mark.

THE NEW ROMANTIC

- Dimensional laces, flowery prints and pastel colours symbolise an adoration of femininity. Portraying her sweet side are those soft and light slipdresses, flowery embroidered scarves, classy hats, precious stone earrings and other accessories with floral motifs.

IT'S 80szInspired by Andy Warhol's 1980s artwork, this style plays with flashy colours such as electric blue, oasis green, neon yellow, dark blue and shocking pink. Polka dots are also rampant on colourful surfaces such as bags and shoes.

DISCO NIGHT

- Metallic colours and glittering designs are not only for actresses in sci-fi movies, they also make a huge impression in the real world. A golden halter top will illuminate your curvy figure in the office and with a nice pair of long earrings and a gleaming clutch, you're ready for the fun party after work.

GET SPORTY

- Let's get tanned in style with colourful tank tops and super-short pants. For a nice stroll on the beach, a sexy bikini with classy sunglasses, plus a few pieces of flowery bangles will get you all the attention. RT
