Sun City

Urban holiday, city break; in fashion let’s be honest, rules are made to be broken. Take your deckchair to the park, carry your surfboard across the motorway, and relax your dressing rules. Covered up challenges beach bareness, smart mixes in harmony with casual, and neutrals sit happily next to brights.
 
If you can’t imagine how it might work, the visuals in this story demonstrate how great they can make hot days in a capital. The rainy-day umbrella swapped for a celebration of beach and a sunny parasol, the low rider jeans, or pant, revealing a splendid swimsuit or the bikini top as a wardrobe essential. Take a trench but make it in azure lacy mesh to work it on the sidewalk. It takes courage and it takes the right pieces, but the results are celebratory of vacation dreams. Who needs a real beach, when in your head the beach is a step away the other side of the crossing through the traffic.So, grab your surfboard and strut to your holiday tempo, it’s Sun City, a rule breaking wardrobe mix that merely needs your fingers around a fruit punch to complete your mood.
