Summer styling tips from the pros

Summer’s in full swing, and with the season of sun, sea and siestas comes a whole new bag of opportunities to put your best fashion foot forward.

With the help of 32 Clothing and their personal stylists, Crystal Kasper and Palesa Mahlaba, channeling international catwalk looks is as easy as taking a stroll on the beach. South Africa’s beautiful weather gives us the opportunity to channel summer looks for much longer, so it’s super important that your summer wardrobe is on fleek.

Palesa shares the five hottest trends that will make waves this summer:

Denim (on denim)

Pleats

Retro ’70s inspo

The shirt dress

Stripes

Don’t be scared to take international catwalk looks such as the military trend, all white, or chic safari, and give it your own unique South African flair. Crystal and Palesa suggest buying lightweight fabrics to layer with, in lighter colours such as yellow, lilac, tan and military green. Play around with statement accessories and really fun sunglasses.

Crystal shares the four absolute must-haves for this summer:

A denim skirt

A crisp white shirt

Sandals or block heels in neutral tones

A wide-brimmed hat
