Heritage Checks
Let’s begin with one of the hottest patterns this season – heritage checks. This is something we have seen styled in many different ways on the runway.

Plastic
The good thing about this trend is that not only does it look stylish and edgy, but it is practical too. After all, we all know that summer does not promise that there won’t be a few drops of rain throughout the coming months. This is a look that has been on many different runways. This includes Fendi, Calvin Klein, Topshop, Burberry, Marant, Isabel, and Chanel. Expect to see plastic in many different colors.

Take it from Victoria Beckham. She said that delicacy can be strong, and she’s certainly right. To really up your game this summer, experiment with wearing pastels in different ways, for example, a pastel suit.

We have seen glitter on numerou catwalks in the lead-up to summer, including Gucci, Chanel, Dior, Marc Jacobs, and Tom Ford. This is not just a look for the evening either, as you can easily rock sequins during the day by opting to style yours with a T-shirt or sweatshirt.
