ON TREND SUMMER LOOKS

SS12 COLLECTIONS L-R: TRACY REESE; ALEXANDER WANG; EMILIO PUCCI

Although this year’s summer has not yet been a total success in terms of warmth and sunny days, there is still plenty of time left for the summer to make a stunning comeback and for us to enjoy life on the streets, in parks or in cafés. Without any debate, we want to look great when leaving our houses because every place that isn’t home is like a catwalk for us. To be sure to attract many admiring glances it is a good idea to wear garments in colours and prints which may sound a little unfamiliar, but have been a big trend during all summer. When you check out the streets of portsmouth shopping opportunities for skirts, tops, trousers and scarfs that have huge geometric prints on them and come in bright colours, you can find them in various stores there.

Ways to save on the latest fashion

This rather flashy style is sure to get you attention, but it can be a little tricky since there definitely is a certain danger of overdoing it. So it is a good idea not to completely dress in this way from head to toe. One or two gaudy pieces should be enough to serve as great eye-catchers.

Speaking of good ideas: To save on fashion it is essential to do a certain amount of research beforehand. This includes comparing prices in the various stores, check out offers online and also to look out for vouchers and coupons. These can be found online or in magazines and newspapers. It is a simple and easy, yet effective way to save money and since fashion can be a little pricey you should not shy away from using your vouchers whenever it is possible. When you are looking up prices online, it is advisable to use a website that lets you compare prices. Therefore you will have the prices for a certain product at one glance without having to look them up on many different websites one after the other

By using vouchers and comparing prices online, you can keep up-to-date in terms of new styles and still save a good amount of money.
