Style
Summer Style Spread!

Summer is all about showing off your skin; when the warmer weather hits it's time to start peeling off those layers!

We show you how to achieve your own unique summer look that shows off your best assets, and keeps you looking and feeling comfortable at the same time! 

Nothing goes better with gorgeous summer dresses than a fabulous silhouette. Along with a regular exercise routine and healthy eating plan, here in the office we love NIVEA's My Silhouette Body Refining Gel. It's packed with natural wonders such as white tea and anis extract, known to support slimming and skin cell metabolism, to smooth, tone and refine your body contours for your very own feel good silhouette!

Petite
Inspiration: Peter Som
Your summer theme: Go mini!
Mini dresses, shorts and little tiny skirts. Your slim and little pins means you can pull off shorter lengths and it just look perfect. Not to mention it’s a great trick for keeing you proportions in check!


 
Your tip: Keep it neutral to get the most lengthening effect.
1: Narcissus Knit Dress from Cybele Spring Summer
2: Mi Mio Sling Back $159.00 from Country Road
3: Gold Flash Aviator $25.00 from Dotti
4: Metallic Braid Belt $59.95 from Witchery
5: Flocked Clutch $69.00 from Neelear Nomad
 
Apple
Inspiration: Douglass Hannant
Your summer theme: A shift moment!
A tunic that is sheer will allow for tummy coverage but also allow you to show off your deccolatage (without showing off too much). Slimline shorts are also super flattering on your naturally slim pins.
Your tip: Go for acessories that are a little bit larger to balance out your fuller frame.


 
1: Exotic Beaded Spice Kaftan AU$49.95 from Just Jeans
2: Tapered Short (in Navy) $69.95 from Witchery
3: Chain Bag $79.90 from Lippy
4: Button Through Crop Cardigan AU$59.94 from Witchery
5: Colour Block Platform US$22.99 from GoJane
 
Pear
Inspiration: Jovovoich Hawk
Your summer theme: Bright and right above!
By keeping the focus on the top half you can do whatever you like below. And really this is a good idea because even though pear shapes are known to carry weight around their thighs, when it comes to lower down the pins – they are slim and deserve showing off!
Your tip: Go for impact above and let below speak for itself.


 
 
1: Frill Neck Top AU$24.99 from Valleygirl
2: Slingback Criss Cross Heel US$20.99 from GoJane
3: Tie Waist Chambrey skirt $60.00 from Dotti
4: Joni $350 from Saben
 
Hourglass
Inspiration: Diane Von Furtsenberg
Your summer theme: Cinch it in and show it off!
Hourglass figures are made for summer dresses, especially those with a bit of a 50s bent! You can definitely show off a ltitle more skin in these styles, but remember to pair it back on the acessories front to stop looking too out there.
Your tip: If donning a skimy sun dress keep the shoes flat to tone the look down.


 
1: Gingham Check Sundress $42.00 from Valleygirl
2: Bluebird Round Tote $65.00 from Strandbags
3: Affair Flat AU$65.00 from Melissa Footwear
4: Acessories Bangle $35.00 from Neelear Nomad
 
Slim athletic
Inspiration: Donna Karen
Your summer theme: Sky high legs.
Slim figures call for showing off of great legs! Reach for the ultra short shorts and keep the eye leading up with neutral tones broken up with textures. We love the cork heel from Dotti and the loose fitting top from Witchery which both work to lengthen your body whilst also adding feminine curve.
Your tip: High waists are instant curve creaters even to the most straight figure.


 
1: Burn Out Lace Cami AU$79.95 from Witchery
2: High Waist Button Front Short AU$35.00 from Supre
3: Canvas Cork Wedge $65.00 from Dotti
4: Hobo Bag $45.00 from Just Jeans
