When you think of summer, what comes to mind?
Bikinis, sun, casual clothes, cooling off in the heat, dressing for the heat.. Basically, summer is all about hot weather. Just the kind of weather you might expect in a safari.
Summer 2008 sees the return of safari inspired outfits. Not exactly what you might wear on a safari. For the real deal, cotton and linen are likelier choices, unless you are a multi-million dollar movie star with an entourage which will iron your impeccable silk dress for you before every wear.
Still, the look is there, though the fabrics may differ. Today's safari clothes may well be made of chiffon, silk or satin. Stuff you wouldn't wear out in the wild, but within the confines of civilization, outfits made of these materials are sensuous, glamorous and worth all the trouble.
No longer stiff. This seasons safari jackets and shirts are a lot softer, especially around the shoulders. Shirt dresses are a great, light-weight alternative to the safari jacket and the look can be just as outdoorsy.
Safari style isn't limited to the cut of the clothes. Color plays an important part. Earth tones characterize the safari look. Khaki is a hot favourite. Pair that with yellow, white and earth tones and even a tube top and skorts combination or a shirt and pants combi screams SAFARI!
Another thing you can do to channel the safari look is to bring in animal print. Leopard print is especially sexy and appropriate for the safari style.
In short, to revamp your look, safari style, you need the following items:
1. A safari jacket you can throw over any outfit to give it that safari look.
2. A shirt dress - very safari style.
3. Khaki tops and pants.
4. Leopard print tops, dresses or bikinis to up the sex quotient.
That would take you effortlessly through summer 2008.
