There are always two faces of summer fashion. There’s bright and flashy with larger than life prints, patterns and colors, but there’s also subdued, airy, light and carefree. Which face will you put on this year?
American designer Tory Burch celebrates the lighter side of things with hand sewn details, breezy fabrics and sunny colors making a refreshing appearance in the new S/S 2016 collection, Summer’s Unexpected Beauty.
In particular, The Delphi print anchors all of this collection’s designs. It transforms basic cotton blouses, skirts, dresses and even jeans by providing detailing in artisanal embroidery, crochet, lattice smocking work and other delicate handiwork. Summer is sure to be resting gently on your shoulders, hips and waist with you feeling cool from day to night in this new collection.
Here are some of our top picks:
The Lydia top
It is easy yet dressy, and full of artisanal detail. It’s done in white stretch poplin – an ideal canvas to showcase the handmade Indian embroidery: leaf, lattice, and pinwheel-shaped cutwork at the yoke and hem as well as a picot-trimmed border. It narrows at the shoulders, is slightly cropped and has a bateau neckline, creating a crisp and flattering silhouette.
The Alexandra Shell blouse
This wispy blouse combines two panels of silk georgette into a tiered design, complete with a slit neckline and a semi-sheer cutaway back. Picot-trimmed edges enhance the ultra-feminine silhouette.
The off-the-shoulder Eliza Top
This blouse brings fresh, romantic flourish to the collection. Made of white stretch cotton poplin, this bright new rendition of a peasant blouse has a ruffled neckline and short and fluttery sleeves that detail the look, giving it the perfect charmingly chic finish.
The Carson Cropped Flare Jean
This brings a fresh, romantic flourish to your wardrobe. This new rendition of a five-pocket classic is sprayed with colorful flowers at the hip and hem. It has the right amount of stretch for an amazing fit and is the perfect length for showing off shoes.
Subtle and understatedly elegant is the way to go for these sunny seasons. Tory Burch does without boldness and brightness with white, cotton and pops of color reigning over the collection, coming up with pieces that are all about breeziness, crispness and dressing effortlessly.
Tory Burch is located at Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-La.
