Shimmer and shine with this season’s mermaid trend.
Take inspiration from Chanel and Jil Sander and embrace this season’s iridescent fabrics, soft metallics and shimmery sequins. The Aquatic look isn’t as tricky to pull-off as it may at first seem. The key to wearing this trend is to take one element of it and avoid the head-to-toe look. Similar to wearing metallic you want to make a statement with one piece.
