<strong>NICHE</strong> magazine<br />
BY: ERIC HIMEL | CELEBRITY STYLIST<br />
<strong>Summer</strong> is all about ease but you don’t want to throw <strong>style</strong><br />
out the door with it. It’s all in the small details - an unusual<br />
use of materials, a different finish on a hem or a reference<br />
to the 70’s and 80’s that isn’t literal but rather makes a nod<br />
to the best of the decade. Work these eight must-haves into<br />
your wardrobe, and everyone will be keeping an eye on you for all<br />
the right reasons this <strong>Summer</strong>.<br />
Not Your High-School Denim Skirt<br />
Frayed white denim pencil skirt.<br />
Frayed edged denim is all the rage now - take it one step further<br />
with a denim pencil skirt. What’s the difference this time<br />
around? The longer, leaner silhouette makes it less ‘junior’ and<br />
the frayed edge makes it, well, edgier. And yes, go ahead and<br />
dress it up for work.<br />

Colour-Blocking Isn’t<br />
Just About Colour<br />
Colour-block bracelet with different materials.<br />
Colour-blocking was introduced into our fashion lexicon<br />
seasons ago. Now, go for a more sophisticated approach with<br />
colour-blocked materials on a bracelet. Mix different woods or<br />
or different plastics.<br />
Show Less To Show More<br />
Think covering up is matronly? Think again.<br />
The once thought of ‘matronly’ sister to the bikini is all grown up<br />
thanks to it’s reference to the 80’s one piece. Go high on the thigh<br />
for an elongated leg.<br />
