Global warming is making the temperature rise on the street, but that doesn't mean you can't be cool on your feet – without sacrificing style.
Safari-inspired fashion is hot again this season for both men and women, and no one has tamed the beast better than designer Trina Turk.
On the Prowl
his: For a wild night out to your favorite Tiki bar, pair the canvas Havana Striped Safari Jacket ($298) in rich olive (shown), off white, Panama tan, or espresso with a Cotton Knit Tank ($48) in chocolate or white. But don’t fade into the background wearing only camouflage – add a splash of color with Twill Trousers ($158) in coral (shown), magenta, or aqua. Not so bold? The pants also come in white, cream, khaki, and chocolate, but don’t be surprised if your sweetheart mistakes you for the UPS guy.
hers: He thinks it's hot outside, but it's going to get even hotter when you wear this alluring twist-front halter Audra Dress ($328) in palm floral jacquard. Add a high-heeled, metallic strappy sandal for a playful but elegant evening look. Drape yourself with gold belts, bangles, and earrings and heads will turn!
Stalking the Streets
his: Look like a wealthy big-game hunter in this Havana Stripe Safari Shirt ($248) available in Panama tan (shown), off white, olive, or chocolate. Pair it with a white twill trouser ($158) and you’re off to bag your next prize... maybe a TaylorMade SuperQuad driver!? To secure your place at the head of the pack, add a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators and sleek leather sandals or loafers.
hers: Look like you stepped off the set of Hatari! with this Wright Oasis Jacquard shirt in white ($216). The tailored cut will hug your curves just right. Show some leg with Safari Canvas Bermuda cuffed shorts ($148) in khaki, java, or white. Then slip on a pair of sling-back, open-toe espadrilles and show off a great metallic necklace. You’ll feel like the queen of the jungle!
