Destination-Inspired Summer Style
First stop, Mexico City!
The fashion scene in Mexico City is a vibrant blend of traditional costume and avant-garde eclectic style, characterized by bold colors and playful prints. It's a reflection of Mexico’s cultural mix and full energy. Here, fashion enthusiasts love to experiment with textures, creating dynamic and eye-catching outfits.
Whether you’re heading down or just want to embrace a bit more playfulness to your style this summer, here are a few practical ways you can achieve this style:
Look for pieces that look artistic or architectural: maybe they are asymmetric, they have odd edges, or maybe they look a bit futuristic.
When it comes to prints and patterns, Mexican style is all about embroidery and patchwork.
The bolder, the clashier, the better. If you’ve never heard about complementary colors, this is your sign to google it, learn it and live by it.
Traditional costume is never forgotten in Mexico, not even in its capital city. And just for your information, the country/cowboy aesthetic is actually originally the Mexican ranchero look.
Fashion here is a celebration of individuality and vibrancy, with every outfit reflecting a fearless, creative spirit.
Next stop is Spain's famous party island, Ibiza!
Ibiza is the epitome of Boho Chic, with its fashion scene embodying playful glamour and bohemian romance. While it’s known for its “slightly” out there nightlife and luxury beach clubs, there is another side to the island. If you actually wake up before 12:00 in Ibiza, there are nature walks and beautiful beaches to explore. This creates a unique fashion landscape where glamorous poolside looks meet ethereal, free-spirited ensembles.
Whichever way you lean, here are a few tips to nail your Ibiza style:
When it comes to boho chic accessories in Ibiza, it’s too important to forget.
No need for shorts, or skirts, just bring X number of goddess dresses for X number of trip days. By that I mean long, flowy white dresses!
Stone and earthy colors are the only acceptable shades in Ibiza except for the occasional pop of color, maybe it’s a pink bag or some blue shoes.

Next stop is the most romantic city in the world, Paris!
The fashion scene in Paris is the epitome of timeless elegance and effortless chic, characterized by a neutral color palette and classic silhouettes. Paris may be one of the most emulated city styles in the world. The looks are curated with precision, minimal, and polished.
Whether you're planning a trip to Paris or simply want to infuse a bit of Parisian sophistication into your wardrobe, here are a few practical ways to achieve this style:
The base is classic elegance: think tailored blazers, crisp white shirts, and well-fitted trousers.
Choose accessories carefully and sparingly. It’s best to have 2-3 high quality items like a silk scarf or some oversized sunglasses.
Opt for neutral colors - black, white, beige - but add a few pops of color in red or blue for that polished look.
Fashion in Paris is a show of timeless beauty. The Parisian woman is independent, feminine, and sophisticated, and you can be too!
Last stop, Tokyo!

There isn’t a trendier destination than Japan, so for your upcoming trip to Tokyo, here are some guidelines to integrate this look into your style:
Embrace eclectic and unconventional pieces, don’t be scared to make a statement.
When it comes to colors and patterns, Tokyo is all about mixing and matching. Look for traditional Japanese prints and mix with modern styles.
Tokyo fashion is the epitome of cool and that is because they have become the masters of street style. Incorporate elements like graphic tees, hoodies, and sneakers to add an urban edge to your outfits.
Fashion in Tokyo is a celebration of individuality and creativity, with every outfit reflecting a fearless and innovative spirit without letting go of the country’s rich cultural heritage.
