Obviously, the spring-summer 2016 trends are under the sign of travel. And for good reason the summer collections are largely borrowed from the dress code of the adventurer or some exotic clothing folklores, like Isabel Marant or Antik Batik, accustomed to semi-urban and semi-wild collections.

With this in mind, the earth colors dominate, from beige twine to ocher red through khaki army or azure, leaving aside the fluos and pastels of previous seasons. Vegetal and neo-ethnic prints, intrinsically linked to the world of distant excursions, also seem to be the order of the day.

As far as materials are concerned, naturalness is at the center of the preoccupations of ready-to-wear designers, the latter giving pride of place to linen, organic cotton or silk in collections made of loose tunics, loose suits and dresses. long vaporous or all-terrain Bermuda shorts . The general look is deconstructed, made of overlays, mix of proportions, but also styles.

Pieces dating back to the Romantic era, such as the Victorian blouse or the ruffle dress, invite you to this summer wardrobe, feminizing almost unintentionally these collections cut for the urban jungle. The lace remains as every season ubiquitous, declining both in little crochet white dresses on delicate blouses, ideal to face the days of heat wave with style.

Finally, the accessories are the pinnacle of the game, the leather belt structuring most looks while the straw hats finalize them in an ultimate nod to the Coachella style and its western influences. But it is finally white basketball, which, spotted on the majority of lookbooks , wins the victory, competing with the inevitable sandals and other Tropéziennes.
