I’ve always been a lover of the classics, but at this time of year, my old wardrobe always has a renaissance vibe; As the seasons change, so does my style. Yes, I am dressing for a different temperature but also a different mood. For me, summer evokes more free-spirited energy, which is evoked by a calendar full of holidays, festivals and, therefore, joy and nostalgia. Many of us now have a need to travel more and more, and for me, this desire for adventure can be expressed quite literally in the way I dress. Where my winter uniform is folded, every day in the summer is an opportunity to show off. Someday I might be California Dreaming, wearing a combination of white lace, suede, and fringe like a seventies girl. Daisy Jones. Others, I find myself reaching for casual staples like Levi’s jeans and oversized vintage t-shirts.
Of course, this time of year also brings up World Earth Day (April 20), which is a good reason to think about how our fashion choices affect the planet. When it comes to shopping, there’s no denying that buying secondhand is the most sustainable. These days, this is certainly not limited to car boot sales and eBay (though, for me, there’s really nothing better to spend a Sunday than rummaging through a car trunk or looking up a car’s trunk. check eBay for 90s Versace, early 00s Prada or Philo Celine era). We have Collective vestiaire, which if you ask any fashion insider, I’m sure they’ll claim how great it is for luxury items and equally good if you’re looking to sell yourself. If you are a handbag fanatic, then The Luxury Closet is the place to go for a crazy collection of accessories.
