Summer in the city

Summer is almost upon us and the temperatures are rising. So what's the "hottest" everyday look for modern men and women in the heat of the city? It's "easy going". Simplicity is the key to this season's summer city fashions.

Colours: white, red, blue, green, purple, brown

Women will be wearing floaty dresses, light and feminine dress jackets, delicate tunics with casual trousers and Bermuda shorts. Subtle ethnic elements are combined with informal sporty appeal and the fabrics are pleasantly light. Even natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and denim have gone lightweight this summer, many of them featuring this season's distinctive, cheerful prints and stripes in a range of new pastels.

Must-haves for women

- Floaty, fancy dresses and blouses with delicate prints
- Shirts with stripes or positioned prints
- Delicate tunics or long blouses, most with turnover sleeves
- Bermuda shorts with turn-ups
- Feminine ¾-arm dress jackets
- Loose-fitting casual trousers in lightweight summer fabrics

Narrow-fit, combat-style Bermuda shorts in checked fabric are a leisurewear wardrobe essential with city street credibility for sporty men. Wear them with a casual cotton shirt or a shirt with a positioned print in the trend colour white. The new checked shirts, combined with white trousers or Bermuda shorts, will make a confident masculine fashion statement throughout the summer season.

Must-haves for men
