Do you love wearing breezy whites every summer? Are you addicted to whites with cut-outs, perforations and eyelets? If you do then the below pics from Mango’s Summer 2012 catalog with Anna Selezneva filled with many white pieces mixed with safari and dip dyed elements might serve not only as a feast to your eyes but also as an amazing inspiration for your styling needs this coming summer season. These white concentrated looks are not only practical for warding off the ill effects of summer heat but they are also perfect for creating those effortlessly cool summer looks. These looks are a beautiful mix of simplicity, lightness and casual lady like flow combined with grunge, masculine, earthy and safari elements, the styling is easy to imitate with things that you might already have in your closet. Some pictures might even serve as a great inspiration for DIY addicts, especially the dip dyed pieces and cool safari inspired shell or horn jewelry. Take a look.
The simplicity, lightness and flow comes from heavy use of whites, airy lightweight fabrics with cut-outs or perforations and flowy yet simple silhouettes. Inbuilt construction details such as pleats or pockets are kept clean and simple without adding too much bulk to these looks. The heavy use of eyelets or perforations, rope details etc. add cool and casual textures for an overall effect that ranges from very lady-like to earthy with a touch of masculine feel. There is definitely a heavy mix of lady-like elements with moderate splashes of tough, masculine and earthy elements here. The toughness comes from grungy dip dye or tie dye details, ripped effects (such as on boyfriend jeans), folded hems and safari inspired khaki green colors or pieces. The accessories such as ivory horn pendant necklace, cowrie shell thread bracelets, rope detail sandals or wooden heel platforms add an earthy natural safari feel to these looks. I love the tough, earthy and grungy elements paired with white ladylike eyelet filled pieces or textured lightweight sweaters with eyelets and perforations. You can make your own cowrie bracelets and horn necklace which doesn’t look that hard to make. There are plenty of instructions on pinterest if you are interested in adding these to your list of DIY projects. Etsy is a great place to shop for supplies or even finished products. You can also buy your supplies from local craft stores. The messy side-parted waves and earthy colors used for the makeup are perfect to complete these cool and breezy summer looks.
