Summer Trend: Harem Pants

















Harem pants are a recurring trend in fashion which always triggers excitement. Inspired by oriental men's bowls trousers, harem pants may look somewhat odd at first glance

It is advisable to wear a tight top highlighting your forms to create a contrast with the pants' baggy appearance.

High heels are also preferable to refine the silhouette.

The Invisible mercerized Scottish ballerina Croquet socks are definitely a good match for the funky pants.

If you want to adopt a more casual attire, choose a black model (visual, model at Pimkie), you can complete your look with flat shoes like ballerinas and black and white Chouchou mercerized Bleuforêt socks.


Conclusion: Harem pants can be both stylish and elegant if you match well.

Summer Trend: The Espadrilles




















A brief history of Espadrilles

Espadrilles have emerged toward the end of last century: the shoe was the original footwear of the Pyrenean Basque region, especially among farmers. Lightweight and rugged, it has been used in the early 20th century both in the context of the workplace and at home.

Espadrilles and fashion

Espadrilles have long suffered from a bad reputation after having sunk into mediocrity in the 90s, they have reappeared in compensated versions in the 2000s, and are experiencing a serious comeback this season. That's good news because these shoes are perfect for summer: light, with their canvas and soles made of hemp, they have the advantage of being more comfortable than conventional shoes or sandals. You can wear them with a skirt, or long shorts.

Espadrilles and socks: an impossible mix?

For example, proponents of the total look can match all the trends of the season by combining white socks, sneakers and sailors: do not forget to bring an offbeat touch with fancy accessories like a necklace of pearls or a pair of shorts with a big colored belt.

The most sophisticated fashionistas will opt for espadrilles worn with white socks to soften their outfit. You can also combine punchy colors for a colorful and summery result: all eccentricities are permitted such as these pink compensated espadrilles from Kate Spare.You can give a second life to your espadrilles by wearing striped and colorful socks.. Liberty patterns can also be an option.

You can add a modern touch with Bleuforêt Pschitt Mini-sox.
