The summer season is almost upon us, and if you have some holidays or trips planned, here are the stylish and effortless looks to try.
By LYDIA TEO,
#1: A matching co-ord
Summer is all about easy, effortless looks, and nothing can be simpler than a matching co-ord set that you can throw on in a jiffy. Keep the summer vibe going by sticking to bright colours, such as a cheerful coral shade. Pair with comfortable, flat sandals, a cross body bag, and you’re good to go.

#2: The denim short
It’s not summer if denim shorts are not featured somewhere. This versatile staple can be dressed in many different ways, but an easy and stylish way is to pair with a statement t-shirt. Finish off with some killer shoes – anything works really, but how about some heeled boots to elongate the legs?

You’ve worked super hard for that beach bod, and it’s time to show it. Summer is the perfect time – and excuse – to don cropped tops, and they are versatile enough to go well with many things. If you’d like to keep it a bit more modest, opt for a high-waisted bottom that’ll flatter your figure perfectly.
