GLAMOUR South Africa

STANDOUT STREET STYLE TRENDS FROM COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK • Copenhagen is gaining traction as one of the fashion capitals of the world after fashion brand Ganni exploded on the scene, putting Scandi fashion on the map. We take a look at some of the standout streetstyle looks at the SS25 shows at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

HEAD START • Hair accessories are an easy way to elevate your look, and during Fashion Week, hair clips, ribbons, scrunchies and bows are mainstays. Why not add these playful yet chic accessories to your outfit for a touch of business?

Treading Lightly! • First came the naked dress, then came the mesh ballet flats—the shoe staple for this summer. We’ve seen celeb style icons like Jennifer Lawrence and Kourtney Kardashian rocking these pretty flats with a jeans and tee, or a comfortable summer dress. It’s as easy to style as it is comfortable to wear—but make sure you remember your pedicure.

Drop it low • Drop-waist dresses are having their moment and we’re right behind this chic trend, which is fast becoming the silhouette for spring/summer. It’s by no means a new aesthetic—it was first introduced in the roaring twenties by the likes of Coco Chanel designing versions with tassels and bow details placed well below the waist.

FASHION ARCHIVES • African fashion in the 50s paved the way for women’s empowerment.

WHAT’S ON OUR FASHION RADAR? • CREATIVE. COLLECTIVE. CONNECTED.

It’s time to embrace beautifully glowing, even-toned skin and step confidently into your best self.
