C.With the sudden increase in temperatures this spring, the desire for a holiday grows hand in hand with degrees centigrade. And so you already start thinking about look of Summer 2022: an essential must-have, a printed dress with an ethnic taste.

Where we have seen it
Colorful, fresh, lively. The “never without” of the summer, regardless of trends and fashions: even if in the Spring-Summer 2022 there are several designers who have focused their collections on patterned dresses exotic and folk, different from the usual floral or striped print. Graphics, motifs, allover designs in shades of the rainbow cover the clothes of the moment, cover pieces that seem born to be shown off on the shore of a distant and wild destination. Like those spotted at the parade of Paco Rabanne: the inspiration of designer Julien Dossena, the sparkling charm of the French off-duty jet-set, lover of bohemian touch. The prints, artistic and kaleidoscopic, with a 3D effect, are the result of a collaboration with the Victor Vasarely Foundation.

The optical illusions of the Hungarian painter and graphic designer, founder of the artistic movement of Op art, all to be worn, for one Seventies style ethnic dress, featuring a light and airy printed cotton fabric. The cut: maxi and feminine, with the wide skirt and the bust that enhances the figure. Long sleeveswith contrasting black cuffs and neckline, because covering up is not only the oldest trick to resist the heat, but also the most elegant one.
How to match the ethnic dress in Summer 2022
At first glance one might wonder if the game is worth the candle: summer lasts a blink of an eye and there are few opportunities to betray the costume. In truth, in 2022 the ethnic dress is transformed into a versatile garment, perfect to wear not only among the palm trees, but also in the streets of the city on the hottest days. Original ally for the office and free time: just vary the shoes, passing from rope sandals or wooden heels to velvet Friulian. How to make it asphalt proof? Enhancing the waist with a belt in woven leather, with a high waist.
Once you have reached the most hidden corners of the globe – but also Ibiza or Saint Tropez – there is only one accessory to add: the crochet headdress so much in vogue made in the dead times of the pandemic or purchased at the nearest market, which for the French brand resembles in all respects a snug bonnet, decorated with small beaded applications. An essential ethno-chic accent – but a modern bucket hat is enough to return to the city reality. To be varied with a free spirit.
