On the bright SIDE
Fairlady|November/December 2021
WE’RE HEADING INTO SUNNY DAYS ARMED WITH AN ARSENAL OF SUMMERY STAPLES: THINK CUTE COZZIES, BREEZY COVER-UPS, OVERSIZED SHIRTS, ALL-WHITE ENSEMBLES AND JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DRAMA, LIKE A PAIR OF GLITTERY EARRINGS.
On the bright SIDE

BRING THE DRAMA Floaty white dresses are a summer go-to. Add a sun hat and sandals for a beachy look, or oversized earrings and diamanté sandals to dress it up even more.

Mesh dress with sleeve detail (R28000) Sadie Bosworth Atelier. Gold-plated earrings (R650) Yellow by Jeslea. Chunky chain and shell bracelet (R199) Poetry.

ON THE ROCKS Shopping for swimwear is not for the faint of heart, so choose a cozzie that fits well and has some beautiful design elements. A high waist elongates your legs and the ruffle detail adds some flair to a simple set.

Ruffle bikini top (R1140) and high-waisted bikini bottoms (R690) BeachCult, The Ultimate Summer Pop Up. Gold-plated earrings (R1650) Sadie Bosworth Atelier.

COOL CUSTOMER Nothing says summer like a dreamy pastel shade. We love the effortless silhouette of this ruffle-sleeve dress.

The MALE bias

Historically, medical studies were mainly done on male mice and on men; and then extrapolated to treat women, as if a female body were just a smaller version of a male one. Here’s why that doesn’t make sense, and how to work with your body’s natural rhythm for better health.
