On Trend Now for SS19 - Shells

Maybe it's because I've recently returned from California, where palm tree lined beaches and the Pacific Ocean were part of my daily life (albeit for 18 days), but I'm loving the current trend for 'Seashells'. Throwing it back to the Spring/Summer 19 catwalk where designers including Altuzarra and Etro showcased seashell adorned apparel and accessories, this trend has become something so much more than just a shell bracelet you would buy in a souvenir shop on holiday. I guess in that respect this 'trend' has always been present. I mean who is not guilty, of at some point, wearing a shell anklet whilst on their summer holiday? 
Putting an up-market spin on things this season, the runway presented gold shell earrings and luxe shell shaped bags (Chanel and Stella McCartney). It was luxury fashion, but with a nonchalant novelty spirit to it. This trend also plays into the wider trend 'Surfin USA' which I documented earlier this year.
Keeping the styling aesthetic close to as seen on the runway, opt for neutral shades. Beautiful linen dresses and soft silk separates provide the best basis for gold shells & pearl accessories.
