A SHABBY CHIC SUMMER

It is a style always elegant, refined and in some aspects even traditional, made more casual and easy-going by vintage and rétro details. The sense of relaxedness evoked by shabby-chic items is all about the classic cuts that are suitable for every body type and size, and especially about the fabrics. Finely worked cotton, sometimes loosely knitted, sometimes finer; floral and dotted prints, patterns and embellishments that evoke a reassuring world of tradition while never feeling old-fashioned. Comfort and nonchalance are the keywords of shabby chic summer 2022, a season made of clothes to be worn with ease, confidence, and playfulness. There are so many different interpretations for the shabby chic style. A first option is the most loyal one to the roots of the shabby chic aesthetic, made up of patchwork work, mix-and-match of classic prints, boisterous and eccentric tone. The clothes by Injiri are indeed a perfect example of this aesthetic. Injiri is an Indian brand that still produces its Madras items by hand. Long dresses, blouses, and trousers with dreamy hues, very colourful, comfortable and practical, ideal for everyday wear or even for the most special occasions. A second possible declination, on the other hand, is more classic, with garments having a more assertive and structured design. Ideal for more formal times or work, these clothes still retain the lightness and coolness typical of the summer season. It is precisely the pieces by Sea New York that have such characteristics. Many pastel nuances, delicate and neutral shades contrasting with vivid patterns such as polka dots and stripes, combined with significant structural elements such as puffy straps, gale along skirts, chemises, and pants with contemporary and original cuts. We finally arrive at the total deconstruction of style, which eliminates the boundaries and limitations of the physical dress to arrive at an essentialism that is not meant to be anonymous but to be a kind of sophisticated casualness. This is the case of Aodress, a brand born in 2009 and inspired by its two founders' travels around the world, which offers total looks in classic colours, enlivened by ever distinctive prints.Whatever your choice, always remember that a shabby chic look means first and foremost confidence and cheerfulness. This summer, express your style to the full, with looks and outfits that allow you freedom not only in your movements, but also and above all in expressing your personality. The shabby chic season is only waiting for you!
