Yes and No: What to wear this summer
Not all that designers show during fashion weeks can be adapted to life. Sometimes when looking at girls in a city, we have a feeling that common sense has left them - they want to be so fashionable. Wonderzine lists spring-summer trends and understands which of them can be worn in the city, and which ones just to admire and leave for filming.
Its OK
1
Men's suit
It is not necessary to wear a fitted jacket and tight-fitting trousers to the office - in the summer it is unbearably hot in them. Stella McCartney and a dozen other designers suggest replacing them with a suit as if from a man’s shoulder. It is at least comfortable.

A-line dress
Dress in the style of the era of Andre Kurrezha and Mary Quant - an alternative for those who are beginning to get tired of sheath dresses and models in a flower à la Dior and Mad Men. Moreover, in this move is more convenient than in sports form.

Summer coats
Outerwear in the warm season - trench coats and parks. In addition, you can wear summer coats made of cotton or silk: if they do not protect from the rain, they will surely save you from the evening and night wind.

Frilled Things
Recently, ruffles were associated with the democratic line of the Kira Plastinina brand: they seemed permissible only in the wardrobe of schoolgirls. After the spring-summer shows of Balenciaga and J.W.Anderson, it became obvious that in a dress and even shorts with frills, you can look smart.

Monoprint Suit
Previously, your fashion shovel was shown by combining different prints in one bow. Now it's the other way around: a suit, whether it be a top or a jacket with a skirt or trousers, should be solid. What is actually convenient is that you don’t need to think about how, for example, baroque patterns and large roses look to each other (most often they don’t look at all).

Pajamas and bathrobes
The idea is not that new: the first silk shirt with a turn-down collar and pockets in combination with loose pants adapted to everyday life Coco Chanel. Thanks to Dries Van Noten and Rochas, we can now go down to the subway in suits that look like pajamas or even dressing gowns.

Shoes with a flat sole
Sneakers can be worn with a suit or with a dress - many people are still wary of this trend, but for good reason: these are just combinations that rarely look bad. But flat shoes continue to occupy more and more space in our wardrobes. Popularity is gained by sandals that resemble men's slippers, like those of Marni and Miu Miu, and shoes with massive, grooved soles, like those of Marques' Almeida.

Bulky items
T-shirts and oversized shirts and bulk bombers are already worn by every second girl - we are all for it. Next in line are voluminous jackets that can be peeped in the Hermes collection, and pants like Damir Doma.

It's not ok
1
Short tops
W fashion magazine editor Vanessa Lawrence was on a diet and went to the gym to wear a short top at least once. If you are determined, we recommend either to follow her example, or wear a cropped top with a skirt or high-waisted trousers.
2
Dress shirts
Pajamas and dressing gowns are no longer associated exclusively with home clothes, but impressionable citizens can still take shirts for their underwear. So the silk dress on thin straps with lace inserts can be worn only with a jacket (hello, Andrey Artemov) and, perhaps, to the "Arrows" ball.
3
Plastic things
Plastic items, say, Burberry coats or Givenchy shoes, collect tens of thousands of tumblr postings. It is impossible to wear them: in outer clothing you feel like in a greenhouse, and your shoes are rubbing heavily.
4
Fur in summer
Fur things will need a man in the summer, if he lives somewhere in Chukotka. South, in the 30-degree heat, in a Prada fur coat and Celine shoes will be a bit uncomfortable.
5
Fully transparent
In real life, a jumper with organza sleeves or a skirt with a chiffon insert may be appropriate. Fully transparent dresses and overalls are best left to the models on the catwalk.
6
Cutouts
Putting on any thing with a deep neckline - a dress with a neckline or a skirt with cuts from the thigh - you risk balancing on the verge of vulgarity. Once you look at the models of Anthony Vaccarello or Christopher Kane, you realize that in life it is better not to experiment with cutouts.
7
White onion
White things more than others emphasize figure flaws. In addition, the long-desired color of the Chinese whites cannot be saved: imagine a white suit at the entrance, and then at the exit from the subway.
8
Demicure
In the new “Great Gatsby,” Carey Mulligan wore a dress of Prada crystals. It weighed more than one kilogram, so there was no question of convenience. As a rule, wearing a dressing jacket is difficult and scary: H & M tops with crystal and skirt appliqués Dries Van Noten, embroidered with voluminous roses, will not survive more than one exit to the street.
