Summer calls for light weight summer fashion, from the divine luxury of layered chiffon to lacy tops and flowing dresses. Anya has hunted out her favourite buys with runway inspiration from the likes of Roberto Cavalli and Valentino.
It’s so sheer
Inspiration: Alessandro Dell'Acqua
Sheer cottons, silks and lace all give these picks a little bit of lightness. This is a great choice for the summer lover who also wants a little volume. Just layer some sheer pieces and get the volume and the cooling effect at the same time.

It flows and grows
Inspiration: Roberto Cavalli
Flowing summer looks are beautiful and on trend, maxi dresses are the easiest way to achieve this but soft ruffles and tiers that pick up the wind are perfect as well. Go for fabrics like chiffons, nettings and tulles or layered printed light weight polyesters. Even if it’s a fabric that’s not natural, if it's light it will be more than summer friendly.

2: Chelsea in the Spring dress $359.00 from Sabine
For me nothing speaks of summer lightness more than a white cotton dress, especially in a brodiere anglaise. A chic summer look that’s perfect with sandals the super light fabric will keep you looking and feeling light. The crisp white tone is the perfect choice for your next outdoor party, or BBQ offering big fashion impact! Now that your wardrobe is sorted, remember that sunscreen is an everyday necessity! Keep your skin safe all summer long with NIVEA Sun Light Feel Everyday Sun Lotion SPF30+. The handy 125ml bottle is perfect for popping into your handbag, so you can carry it with you where ever you go - BBQs, parties and even long shopping trips out in the sun.

So chiffon
Inspiration: Valentino
Let’s just get one thing straight, you don’t actually have to buy chiffon. As beautiful as the fabric it is, it’s also kind of pricey. So those cheaper net and polyester fabrics may be better choices for you. Nothing really sums up light feel fashions than light as air floaty fabrics. My pick is the amazing Blak Basics piece, which can be worn as a dress or a top - perfect for outdoor picnics! Remember that sun protection is the ultimate fashion accessory, so make sure your face is protected with the gorgeous new NIVEA Sun Light Feel Daily Face Veil SPF30 (4). With such a high SPF it's great for keeping your skin safe while outdoors - perfect for your next picnic date!
