A cornflower spaghetti-strap top paired with a magenta maxiskirt, nude cummerbund, beige envelope clutch, and shimmering silver pumps; or a chartreuse halter with a royal blue blazer, cascading fuchsia culottes, gold pumps and a royal blue envelope clutch make for a ‘say something’ day.

All Eyes Southward for Calypso, Carnival and Fashion
With the new year just barely broken in and the countdown to Carnival already under way, the jet set are clearing space in their wardrobes for the Caribbean shopping experience. Like the cat that got the cream (or the pashmina, in this case), AW is sitting pretty as Peter Elias, arbiter of good taste and veritable legend on the twin island’s fashion scene, gives us his take on the season’s must-haves.
A long caftan with traditional print in eye-catching colours or a mullet caftan in dazzling peacock and white tiger print paired with black leggings.
Fun and flirty in a strapless dress with a bright floral print, yellow cummerbund and gold bangles, or devastating easy elegance in an apricot halter and a dark floral maxiskirt, completing the look with a nude cummerbund and bangles in burnt sienna.
A pinstripe romper with plunging neckline, paired with silver heels, a subtle silver necklace and geometric silver bracelet; or a white tube top with a barely-there tulle overshirt, black mermaid style maxiskirt, paired with gold pumps and a cluster of prismatic crystals.
Bring a fresh new approach to florals with a fuchsia spaghetti-strap top and a midiskirt with cherry tree and star field print, or be fashion-forward with a spring green halter and a whimsical skirt with an inverted landscape print. Paired here with silver or gold pumps, gold chains and a chunky bracelet.
