Seashell and Shellfish Trend: How to Adopt it?

You have certainly noticed, for some months, shells, crabs and other crustaceans are everywhere. A summer sea spirit that almost makes us want to play it, Brigitte Bardot, singing "La Madrague". How to adopt this trend without having a too childish look? We explain to you.

Marine prints

First of all, you have to play with marine motifs. To boost your look, go for animal prints: crabs, fish, lobsters, etc. Colorful, fun and a bit kitsch, they match perfectly with your summer clothes. Are you rather shells? Dare! Because this season, they invite themselves on your dresses, shirts, white T-shirts and even swimsuits. Finally, if you are shy, play the subtlety by wearing the inevitable stripes or small marine details such as discreet knots, anchors, and even stylized rudders.

Colors that smell like the ocean

The color palette of this trend? She approaches unsurprisingly the ocean. So you can afford to wear all shades of blue, from navy to royal blue, sky blue, turquoise and pastel blue. Other option? Mix these colors with coral and orange to pay tribute to crabs and starfish. For the evening, try the pearly hues, seashells or sublime cultured pearls.

Good accessories

To be the most beautiful of the ocean, play the map of accessories! Side shoes, magnify your little feet of models sporting the prints/colors peculiar to the trend. We think, for example to a pair of octopus slippers or coral sandals. Do not forget to choose a suitable bag. For a casual day, opt for a tote bag with a marine message, a net-like fishing bag or a raffia woven bag for the evening. But the key accessories of the trend are the jewels. This is good because, in summer, they have no equal to highlight a tanned skin. They are blue, orange, pearly, silver, golden, pimped seashells or marine animal pendants ... You can do everything!

The looks to follow

1) To go to the office:

To go to the office, we stay sober. Fall for one piece in the trend and mix it with more sober clothes. On the program: a shell-print t-shirt with a high waisted maxi skirt or a shirt adorned with crabs, mixed with tailored trousers.

2) For weekends and holidays:

It's time to have fun. Wear an all over crustacean dress, an oversized T-shirt with a fun marine message, and of course, a fishing net bag for strolling at the market with seafood.

3) Chic evening atmosphere:

Forget seashell patterns and prints, and prefer a pretty long dress or pencil skirt with pearly highlights, a blue ensemble and a pair of coral stilettos. And above all, jewelry worn overlay.
