The perfect summer hat: Ann Demeulemeester sun hat
The perfect sunglasses: Persol
Summer 2012 footwear: Simona VanthWelcome 2012! While many of our local readers are still enjoying their summer holidays we’d thought we’d offer a few tips for keeping cool, and of-the-moment whether you’re lazing by the pool or soaking up the sun’s rays by the beach.
The perfect summer hat: We say stick with the classics and make it a wide-brimmed Fedora or floppy 70s-inspired sunhat a la Ann Demeulemeester's offering above – or if you appreciate the quality of handmade tradition, take a look at these beautiful Panama numbers, all the way from Ecuador.
Moving
on from the see-it-everywhere Trilby, these handmade Fedoras have a certain chic sensibility
in keeping with our very own Tluxe take on relaxed glamour with a Studio
54-style twist. And let’s face it, in the Australian sun a wide-brimmed hat is
so much more than just a style investment. It will quite literally, save your
skin. The
perfect sunglasses: Persols. Classic Italian heritage. Steve McQueen. Now in
cool coloured frames. Need we say more? 2012 footwear: The most down-to-earth footwear trend for this summer, and next, is all about mixing a few found objects
from your beachcombing with the look of raw leather, hammered metal, and
earthy, rough-edged textures. We just love the look of these sandals
from young Italian shoe designer, Simona Vanth.
