As the South African summer heats up, it’s time to turn up your style game and make the most of those beach days, festive braais, and balmy holiday nights. Choose to lounge poolside, sip cocktails in the garden, or make memories with loved ones inspired by the following trends in international summer styles:
The summer magic moment
There’s something dreamy about light, breezy fabrics that feel just right for summer. Perfectly breathable, they’re ideal for long, sunny days. Picture this: a flowing kaftan over your bikini or a maxi dress layered with a slip for that perfect mix of chic and comfort. Play with pastel hues like lavender and blush or go bold with prints that add personality to your look. Finish with flat sandals, a straw bag, and oversized earrings for a garden-party-ready outfit that’s effortlessly Instagrammable.
Colour crush
If summer had a colour palette, tangerine and turquoise would top the list. These shades are bold, fresh, and stunning against sun-kissed skin. For a laid-back vibe, pair a turquoise crop top with high-waisted white shorts and add tangerine sandals for a playful pop. Heading out? A floor-length tangerine dress with turquoise accessories is a head-turner for those sunset parties.
Smell like a mood
Your fragrance is your invisible accessory, the one that leaves a lasting impression wherever you go. This summer, Playgirl Love Is perfumed body spray has you covered with its sweet and sensual fruity-floral scent. Perfect for both work and play, it keeps you cool and confident, equal parts fresh and flirtatious. Whether you’re strolling through a summer market or dancing under fairy lights, a quick spritz ensures you stay fresh, fabulous, and ready to own the night!
Barefaced beauty
Summer beauty is all about that natural glow. Start with a hydrating serum and SPF (non-negotiable in this heat!), then add a touch of bronzer and highlighter for a sun-kissed finish. Keep your brows fluffy and bold with a brow gel and swipe on a glossy, tinted lip balm for that ‘effortless beauty’ vibe.
Sunny accessories rule
Accessories are the unsung heroes of every outfit. This summer, bucket hats are making a major comeback, perfect for shading your face while keeping you effortlessly cool. Oversized sunglasses are another must, giving you that celebrity-on-holiday vibe. For a playful twist, layer colourful beaded necklaces or bracelets that bring out the carefree summer spirit.
Go bold with nails
Nails are your mini canvas, and this season, it’s all about standing out. Try vibrant colours like coral, cobalt blue, or neon pink, and add some playful designs, think swirls, palm trees, or even cute festive icons. And don’t shy away from glitter accents; they’re perfect for catching the light at those poolside celebrations.
Celebrate your individuality, embrace the holiday spirit, and let your style do the talking. From garden glam to beach bombshell, these trends will have you turning heads all summer long because confidence is always in fashion!
