The summer is here and although you are not in holidays, there are some small details that can make you look fresh and trendy. Straw bags, hats and espadrilles will make you feel the good sensations of summer.
The straw has managed to become a trendy material for summer. It came into vogue towards the end of the 1800s, with a new social informality and a less rigid class structure. Now raffia hats are worn by men and women and represent comfort, and good weather… so don’t hesitate on go shopping one of this must of the season! You have the classic straw one with a black strip but you can find these hats in many colours and sizes, there is no excuse for not having one.
A straw Weave Beach Bag is also the perfect summer accessory, it works well with casual wear, and it’s neutral so goes with absolutely everything. Buy one and start feeling on holidays.
Moreover espadrilles are the hot trend of the summer. Of Spanish and South French origin, they are a classic warm weather shoe. They are sleek, comfortable and stylish and normally have an affordable price. You can find them either flat or wedge sandal and both are perfect to combine on a casual day.

Spring is a confusing time fashion wise. What should you wear outside when the weather is so unpredictable? How can you keep warm and still look good? It is all too easy to feel that the sun will never appear, and fall into the trap of thinking that dull weather means wearing dull clothes to match. However, it is possible to choose practical outdoor clothing that will keep you warm outdoors, and still look stylish. There is no need to either hide away in dark tones, so that you blend in with the grey skies, or shiver in bright but flimsy clothes more suited to the summer.
The ever-popular raincoat is absolutely perfect for the variable spring climate. Obviously, it is designed for wet weather, but also keeps out the cold. The raincoat, however, combines practicality with style. For that Parisian touch, accessorise with a beret (best avoided if it makes you look more like Benny Hill than Audrey Hepburn). Black is always stylish; try swapping the belt for another, contrasting one (if you buy a belt for this purpose, take the coat with you so that you can be sure that the belt will fit through the loops). A plain raincoat can also be jazzed up with colourful accessories, such as gloves, but you could consider a coat in a different colour, such as bright red, which would certainly cheer up a dull rainy day.
There can be cold winds in spring, and this is where scarves come into their own. Not only are they useful as a fashion accessory, but also add a practical touch. If by some miracle the sun comes out, they can be easily removed and stored in your bag, without taking up much space. Avoid the heavy winter version; instead, choose a lighter alternative. These are fabulous for a stylish spring outfit, as the variety of scarves available is endless. They can also be very inexpensive, which means that you can have a small collection without spending a fortune. In addition, scarves are a versatile item and can be tied in many different ways, or even used as a belt.
Hats are also a great way of keeping warm and are a much underrated accessory that deserves more attention. Most people can find a style to suit them, and it is well worth going to a hat department and spending some time trying on different styles to see what suits you. At the other end of the body, boots still have their place in the winter wardrobe. Wear with fitted trousers or jeans on days when it looks like rain, or under wider-legged trousers on dry days. If knee-length boots are too warm for your legs, ankle boots will still keep your feet dry on rainy days.
