SOME trends are simply puzzling. Like the array of printed summer trousers out there – with brain-bending colours, zigzags and graphic manipulations worthy of an ambient screen saver.

Givenchy

Givenchy offers one of the best examples of how to elevate the look from the stalls of Brick Lane. Riccardo Tisci’s chic, sharp Op-Art suiting deserves to be stared at – think Magic Eye for the style discerning. Impress the summer social set with comments on your own ensemble -”Tisci’s appreciation of tone and dimension remind me of Bridget Riley”- as the clever patterns define your curves.

Duro Olowu

The artistic license continues at Duro Olowu - whose bright cotton harem pants were inspired by “the vivid colors and spirit of Picasso’s ‘mosqueteros’ paintings”. They will be quite the holiday master-piece paired with tan wedges and a clashing print shirt. If you are unsure how to dress your pegs for evening, take a cute cue from Marc by Marc Jacobs, whose midnight raw silk stripe strides made a successful coupling with a clashing bustier.

Banish thoughts of your gap-year or that bizarre festival juggler, and look for a great cut in crisp cotton or shantung silk – they will instantly electrify your summer wardrobe.   Match your trousers with a simple vest, a man’s silk pyjama top or a white YSL rive gauche Le Smoking.

Or what about combining two trends in one, Harem pants and jumpsuit!  Take a look at this baby, our Silk Harem Pant Jumpsuit is just so ohhhh!!!!  Wear this with colourful bold jewellery and you’re ready for the Yacht, summer beach party or a night out with the girl’s.

For a true beach wave, look to surfer girl Cameron Diaz and queen of laid back boho style Sienna Miller, who wear their hair loosely waved.

Use big barrel tongs to get the look or plait your hair on holiday, let it dry and then comb out with your fingers. 
If you want to rock this look in the city, emulate New Yorker Chloe Sevigny who adds edge to the look by mixing waves with straight sections and texture. Use a texturiser to get this disheveled look.

If you’re more groomed than grunge, take your cue from so-chic Kate Bosworth. She gets the look right for night with perfectly prepped and polished waves pulled back into a loose ponytail. Use a shine spray to add extra polish.

Not only do they bring preppy glamour to the ladies of Gossip Girl, they also rescue us from our own bad hair days.  But we just aren’t sure about the latest reincarnation of this hair accessory – the hippy hairband.  Nicole Richie wore a bejewelled version by Jennifer Behr recently opting for a sparkling take on the retro headgear that looks more glam than Woodstock.  We think she pulls it off to a dazzling degree, but we can accept it probably isn’t for everyone.

Would you wear any of this headgear???  Tell us what you think at info@citrine-online.co.uk.
