FEELING FRESH: TOP LOOKS FOR BEATING THE HEAT

While summer is an eagerly awaited season, its heatwaves are not always as welcome. To survive these moments of peak heat, Printemps.com has the solution: outfits that will cool you off in the blink of an eye! 

Do you know the “Vanilla girl” trend from Tiktok? The concept is simple: a cream-coloured look from head to toe, recalling the hue of vanilla ice cream. Bet on the chic elegance of this colour midway between white and tan. The rules? Play with different shades for full monochrome chic. 

Do you fall head over heels for adorable kittens? Do you like flashy colours and all things kawaï? We bet that the kid in you longs for ice cream in flavours like bubble gum and birthday cake. This summer, go all in with pieces like this turquoise mesh dress by Coperni, paired with vertiginous Nodaleto heels. A touch of pink lipstick and you're ready for a Technicolor day!

Matcha (a type of green tea): You either love it or hate it. With a very specific herbal taste, matcha comes in many different forms. To pair with your matcha ice cream, bet on a satin shirt, oversized sunglasses and a sleek one-piece swimsuit - all in shades of brown and green of course - and be the movie star you were born to play!

Is there anything more refreshing than mint chocolate chip? We can't think of anything! It's all in the contrast between that mentholated freshness and chocolatey sweetness. We translate that tension to a bi-material trouser paired with a sleeveless knit, ideal for evenings with a slight chill. 

The vanilla-chocolate combination is the epitome of graphic chic. How can you stay looking just as cool? It's easy. For a look of quite luxury, try going full Chloé with details that will make you pop, like a raffia tote and a pair of trendy clogs. 

Are rainbow sprinkles your preferred topping? If that's the case, add a similar touch of fun to your wardrobe, just a little something to take you from ordinary to extraordinary. Try something like this colourful-pearl look from Germanier or this Zimmermann shirt so you can pair perfectly with your favourite sprinkle-covered dessert!

A taste of childhood, strawberry vanilla has that comforting, yet decadent appeal. Bring in some subtle touches to your look with a timeless silhouette that plays with beige and touches of pink. Now that's refreshing! 

Frozen fruit - the ultimate in summer freshness. Tangerines are perfect for frozen summer treats, which works out well, because they have an eye-catching colour. Play with a rainbow of zesty colours - from orange to apricot - for a cheerful monochrome display!

Ready to turn up the air-con? Slip into a black sesame-inspired look with strong pieces like a sequin leopard-print skirt and oversized sandals by Simone Rocha.

The freshness of lime-flavoured sorbet is found in the balance between sweet and tart. On the fashion side, consider a Maison Margiela bodysuit paired with power trousers in fluorescent green!
