fashion & beauty Trend Setter by Becca Charlo
ALL the world loves a Royal Wedding - and the global hype surrounding the fairytale nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton was arguably unsurpassed. Te burning question among everyone glued to telly screens on the big day was what would the bride be wearing as she swept down the aisle at Westminster Abbey. Not surprisingly an estimated TV audience of two billion people marvelled as beautiful Kate swopped vows in a stunning ivory and white creation from top designer Sarah Burton.
As the newlyweds prepare to jet off on honeymoon it’s now time for us all to concentrate on our own summer wardrobes ahead of possible hols in sunnier climes. But with fashion constantly changing and mini
trends forever popping up, the thought of choosing the perfect clothes can leave you nursing a right royal headache! What shall I wear? What should I wear? And what
are the key items that will bring me and my wardrobe up to date? Well, consider us your fashion aspirin! Style of Wight is here to cure that unwanted stress and tension. We’ve been scouting our favourite Island independents and further afield to bring to you a quick and easy guide on how to update your look for the coming months. Above all COLOUR comes first - and the palette of
choice for this season is totally TROPICAL. Go for tangerine, red, purple, green and yellow. Add a mix of earthy browns and deep blues to compliment these strong shades. Plump for either top-to-toe in these warm shades or just add a splash of this vibrant trend into your nail colour and accessories. Daunting as they may look WIDE LEG
TROUSERS actually create a fantastic streamlined silhouette. And don’t hesitate to go for a patterned pair or even a summer shade. For those not as eager, but still keen to be a part of this trend go for a wide leg denim. Team them with wedges and a simple top. Te same goes for this season’s MAXI SKIRT.

Wide leg trousers from Matalan. Tie Dye vest top from White Stuff
Sandals from Brantano Footwear.
Te summer essential is still hanging on in there.
And with the festival season upon us the maxi is sure to be a staple piece once again. However, this season opt for a more grown-up and up-to-date take. Go for tiered layers, snitched-in waist and bold colours. NUDE is still the shade we’re going to see more of.
Team with your floral patterned pieces. And speaking of flower-power, FLORAL’S are still
here and proving popular. Tis time we are seeing more variety from feminine
rosebud prints through to the opposite end of the scale, strong abstract print in vivid colours. Now you might think we’ve entered a time-warp but
TIE-DYE is a must this season. Tese inspired pieces are making a huge comeback. For the brave out there why not attempt this mini trend at home. See how a simple vest top can be transformed. FOOTWEAR has a real hippy, ethnic and African influence. Look out for suede, leather and mock croc LOAFERS being bang on trend. And WEDGES continue to soar in height - the bigger the better!
