Good news, fashionistas! It’s never been easier to follow the season’s most important style directives, even as the temperatures crest 100. Top trends like floral patterns and yellow hues are easy to translate into the perfect must-haves for one haute Texas summer.
Going Eco
1. Ralph Lauren has revamped its iconic Polo shirt to lead the industry in sustainability. The Earth Polo, which debuted just before Earth Day, is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles — an average of 12 for every shirt — and dyed without water. Earth Polos come in men’s and women’s styles, and colors include green, white, navy and light blue with eco-friendly packaging available at checkout. $89.50
Craft Work
2. Rustic hand-knotting is all the rage this season, part of the focus on handcrafts like crochet, patchwork and fisherman’s knotting that added a folksy, familiar feel to runway collections from designers like Ports 1961, JW Anderson and even Oscar de la Renta. These everyday bags from Verloop are hand-macraméd from cord remnants and represent a chic way to stay on-trend while also carrying a lot of stuff. $135 – $185
Walkin’ in Sunshine
3. Forget all that talk about being mellow — yellow is blowing up this season, sending rays of sunshine down runways at Rochas, Etro, Erdem and many others. One of the best ways to wear yellow this summer is to incorporate it into a teeny bikini like the Rene High Apex bikini top and coordinating Brazilian brief. $25 and $22
Petal Power
4. Vogue magazine has said it, so it must be true: Fashion’s preoccupation with florals is inexhaustible for 2019. Versace, Balenciaga, Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera — name the label, and gardens are growing there. Harness the power of flowers with the Morley tote and Karrie sunnies, both from Kate Spade.Tote: $289, Sunglasses: $180
5150 Monahans Ave.
Shell Games
5. The Global Wanderer fashion muse is back this summer — just look to global chic accessories shown by Givenchy, Gucci and Christian Dior. These 14k gold-plated, shell-adorned hoop earrings would undoubtedly fit right in. Anton Heunis hoops with Swarovski crystals and shell drops. $132
