#sstrends

The Spring/Summer season brings with them the vibrancy and colour of flowers in bloom and nature coming back to life. They are also the seasons of children playing in the street and outdoor fun, as South Africans too 'come back to life' in the African sun. 

With all the colour and sounds around, sometimes it is easier to keep cool and collected with your wardrobe. Designers at this year's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Cape Town show you how to achieve that head-to-toe white look, whether it's to business, the beach or the ballroom. 

We love these glamourous evening-looks from MBFWCT. Whether you have planned a night out on the town or an elegant evening for two, white-on-white is a chic option.

For the daytime, we loved these looks from Rosenwerth and Spero Villioti.

One of our favourite shows featured this trend, from start to finish. David Tlale's 'pop-up' presentation in the Bo-Kaap, featured crisp, feminine looks, accented by colour-ombre leggings. For the full collection, click here.
