British Summer Fashion

Yes it seems summer is here, sun is shining brightly. The sky is blue not solitary grey cloud in sight. So why is everyone dresses so dull. I'm on the northern headed to work and everyone look so droll. I see a lot of black and denim been worn especially by the ladies. Whatever happened to buying a nice summer dress. I saw one Karen Millen the other day. It looked amazing. Now I'm not a big fan of Karen Millen's clothing but she does have the habit of bringing out a few amazing pieces now and then.

I know we are in the middle of a recession but I'm sure people can still afford to shop are primark or peacocks. They have very stylish summer dress. There so much beautiful coloured prints in the shops but yet British Women choose to dressing rather plain and dull. Those who do decide to be more daring are looked down unto as being weird or the hippish. What'swrong with wearing a nice bohemian print dress with nice shawl to keep warm if the weather changes.

Yesterday I went to a view for the new collection of a few designers that were managed by CiCi Consultancy. I saw the most fabulous print dress by a label call Papillon Bleu (www.papillonbleu.com). The label is ran a designer called Vanessa and she is all about print garments made from natural materials. No polyester in her collection. 100% cotton or silk. And ladies her work is amazing.


I don't see why British Women are so scared of wearing prints. One of the reasons/excuse that iI have heard is that not everyone looks good in prints but I beg to differ. For every skin tone there is the right coloured print dress and accessories to compliment it. There are many celebrities are there that wear print and they look amazing in them.



I set this challenge to anyone who reads this try wearing print. If you need guidance or assistant leave me a comment. I will even take you on a shopping trip and style you

  1. I don't think its the fact that not everyone looks good in print but more of not everyone has the confidence to wear a print let alone pull it off. Personally I'm not a huge print fan but i do have to admit that those summer dresses do look pretty good.. Just a thought.
