Summer is the time for opportunities. There are constantly events and parties, ice-cream dates and swimming excursions. Holidays and weekend trips. Maxi dresses and mini pants. The dress code for the summer is flexible, versatile and comfortable. The girly look exists next to the hippy style and sporty outfits. One style that will leave its mark everywhere this summer is the so-called "Ethno-Chic" which means an alliance of influences and looks from different countries. The clash of African impressions and cool minimalism. The possibility of a range of individual interpretations and a focus on ones favorite style. Oftentimes, trends are adopted in a very exaggerated way - when everybody wears the same outfit, the special attraction of this look vanishes. This wont be the case with the new Ethno-Chic, because it is more of a direction of style than a typical styling recommendation.

Furthermore, the Ethno-Chic can be adopted to various degrees so that no one will wear exactly the same look. Some might only fall in love with cool and flashy flats by Antik Batik which are combined with an otherwise elegant outfit. Others will focus on jewelry in Ethno design - for example by Private Suite - which rounds off their outfit. Others will become fans of tunics and pants from Anna Sui. Some might pimp their daily look with colorful scarfs by Theodora & Callum. The choices are immense and so is the range of the emerging looks. This serves for a quite relaxed attitude, which is a good prerequisite for a very successful summer full of new experiences, influences, ideas and impressions.

Alexis Bittar is one of the hot New Yorker jewelry designers. Her stylish bangle in fine gold (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) is a highlight for every outfit. Due to its slim and delicate shape it is extremely elegant. At the same time it is summery with a light green color and a slight glam. In any case an upgrade for every outfit - a simple white tunic or an elegant cocktail party dress. The chandelier earrings by R.J. Graziano (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) have a similar effect. With their rhinestones and gold-colored pearls with small drop-trailers they are a true outfit boost and add a hot, dreamily and decorative note to every outfit. They remind us of summer and freedom and are suitable for day and evening events. They literally make the face of their wearer shine. They are the best example for typical summer jewelry which is flashy, in a natural design and warm colors. Like the decorative necklace by House of Harlow (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) with an Art-deco pattern.

Each year anew the summer is a challenge to the choice of the appropriate footwear. Boots are too hot, sneakers too casual, high-heels to uncomfortable. Thats why sandals and wedges advance to the fashion accessories which round off every summer dress. Ash offers a great choice of summer flats. Perfect for all occasions - parties, clubs, city trips - is the flat sandal in dark brown leather (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) with raised sole and zipper. The highlight of these shoes is the decorative ankle cuff which is embellished with turquoise beads. This detail makes them a perfect example of Ethno-Chic: sexy, cool, trendy and neo-hippie style. The antique brown leather sandals by Ash (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) are the more simple alternative for all outdoor occasions and are cool and casual. Other great alternatives for summer footwear are flats from Antik Batik, Valentino, Espandrilles and UGG Australia.
