So on our second leg of our European tour we encountered a few trends — so, we loved and some we were not too fond of. First things first, let’s dish wish the bad. Seemingly everywhere we went in the Riviera be it Nice, Monte Carlo or Cannes, women were sporting harem pants — think of a mix between Princess Jasmine and AC Slater. The pants were usually rouched at the hips and then baggy at the waist and either ended at capri length with a tapered leg or at the ankle. Its a completely unflattering look that I pray doesnt catch on in the States although Stella McCartney and Jean Paul Gaultier have similar designs. Even the stick-thin French women had a hard time making the look work.
The second trend we saw repeatedly, but liked, was summer boots, usually at the mid calf height. Admittedly I at first found it hard to stomach women prancing around in leather and suede boots while I was basking in the Meditteranean in sweltering heat, but these girls made the look work. They paired them with loose-fitting dresses, over skinny jeans etc.
Thirdly, whites and naturals rule the Riviera. Women sported white hot dresses with matching stilettos and tans, light browns and other shades of neutrals.
Wow love it. Its really hot and neat!
