Ryanair joins the Ivy League with cool college<br />
threads this August, all the rage among<br />
20-somethings from London to LA. Think TV<br />
shows like Gossip Girl l or its lesser relation,<br />
90210, and prepare to revive your pastel<br />
palette with a tip of your flat cap to labels like<br />
Ralph Lauren and Lacoste.<br />
There are two colours you’ll need to have<br />
in your wardrobe – salmon pink and Kelly<br />
green, as those professional bods in fashion<br />
call it (see bikini stripes below). Boys, channel<br />
the vibe of a New England yacht club with<br />
nautical references: stripy tees, anchor<br />
motifs and coloured denim (pale English<br />
rose complexions should stick to cool pastel<br />
colours in blue, green or purple that will have a<br />
love-in with your skin tone). Girls, go to the top<br />
of the class with polo-shirt dresses, pleated<br />
skirts, ballet flats and pastel capri pants.<br />
However, don’t forget that a Harvard<br />
girl would never go into town without<br />

accessorising. So, perhaps try a scarf tied<br />
around the strap of your tote bag, hair bows<br />
and bubblegum lip-gloss. Ditto minimum inimum<br />
make-up, minimal hair styling and d maximum<br />
attitude (due to your intellectual superiority).<br />

With school out and preppy in, sex up<br />
the look with super-short shorts, polo-shirt<br />
dresses unbuttoned to your cleavage, age, and<br />
knee-high socks. Aubin & Wills also o do a hot<br />
line in jock underwear for girls with h branded<br />
waistbands and ribbed cotton gussets sets that will<br />
drive the boys wild. Whatever you wear, make<br />
sure you go for natural fabrics in classic assic cuts.<br />
If you want to stand out from the e rest of the<br />
set then act like Head Girl with an oversized<br />
white sun hat, as seen at the Lacoste te spring/<br />
