Summer is here at last, and there was no collection that exuded sunshine, holidays and warmer climes quite like that of D&G Spring Summer 13.
Britain’s unexpected heat wave this past week has left us feeling somewhat sartorially confused. Don’t get us wrong, we’re very happy the sun has decided to don his jaunty little hat, but it’s really playing havoc on our perpetually worn winter woollies.
If you’re feeling the strain of summer too, look to the Sicilian inspired collection of Dolce & Gabbana, who this season have got dressing for the sun down to an absolute T.
Liberty London Scarves Orange Imran Print Silk Scarf
Every woman should add a classic Liberty print scarf to her accessories artillery, and this trend acts as the perfect opportunity. Loop onto a bag for an instant update, or like Dolce’s girls wear as a chic headscarf.
Dolce & Gabbana Spring Summer 2013
Think citrus shaded prints and vintage inspired raffia accessories, dressed up in classic D&G sass and sexiness. An elegant ¾ length sleeve or a boxy jacket and a below the knee hemline will keep things ladylike. Whilst adding statement jewels and sky-high wedges will add a modernity to the look.

Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Shift Dress
With a nipped in waist, longer sleeves and a demure hemline, this statement dress will hone your inner Sicilian woman and the curves to boot. Invest now and forever wear on your holidays or to countless summer weddings.
Paloma Barceló Suede Wedge Sandals
Mid length skirts and dresses can look a little awkward so ensure you add height with some hefty, sky-high wedges. This Paloma Barceló complement the look perfectly with their retro raffia detailing and zesty tangerine shade.
Boutique by Jaeger Sketch Check Silk Dress
If you favour a rather more demure print, but are after a frock that still exudes that retro glamour, look to Boutique by Jaeger’s vintage silhouette. Dress up or down with flats or wedges, minimal accessories of full-on holiday glamour.
ASOS Emblem Coin Earring
Add an otherworldly elegance to the look with these coin inspired earrings. Show them off to their full effect by pulling your hair back into a modern beehive.
Maroni Tweed Cropped Jacket
Cover up with this smart and timeless cropped jacket. From jeans and a Breton to printed dresses, it’ll become one of the most treasured pieces of your capsule wardrobe.
Dolce & Gabbana Sicilia Print Box Clutch
Step back to 1950s Sicily with this bold evening clutch. From LBDs to full-on D&G print, it’ll brighten up all your summer outfits in an instant.
