EDGY fashion with striking, rebellious and unique details has quickly become the trend this summer.
And with music legends like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Dua Lipa all showing off their unapologetic vibes and style, it’s no wonder it’s taking the fashion industry by storm.

The quirky stars show off their striking pieces and experimental style all over social media.
And the bold, yet cohesive look is so striking that it’s been dubbed the Brat Girl look.
Charlie XCX summed up the Brat Girl aesthetic this way: “You’re that girl who’s a little messy, likes to party, and says dumb things sometimes.
“She’s honest, blunt and a little volatile. That’s Brat.”
And now that it’s officially Brat Girl Summer, the experts at New Look have rounded up some of their top picks to help fashionistas build their own Brat wardrobe.
The complete outfit costs just £20.50 and is perfect for wearing both in Scotland and on holiday.
It consists of a beautiful black crop top with rhinestone mesh and a matching midi skirt with a slit.
The strapless top fits perfectly over the breasts and has a thinner layer of fabric at the top.
It combines perfectly with the tight-fitting skirt which has a thicker mini-skirt underlayer that prevents the buttocks from being visible.
It features a mesh overskirt with a slit that reaches mid-thigh, exposing the legs.
Both garments are covered with rhinestones of different sizes, which makes them sparkle in the light.
It’s a bold look that makes a statement and effortlessly enhances any party style.
To complete the look, pair it with a pair of oversized, quirky black tortoiseshell sunglasses.
The crop top is just £8 and the matching skirt is just £9, so both are over 50 percent off the original price.
They are part of New Look’s huge online summer sale. The top and skirt originally cost £15.99 and £27.99 respectively.
The sunglasses are now available for just £3.50, down from £10.99 – almost 70 percent cheaper.
And if you don’t mind spending another £13.99, you can [ick up the perfect Black Cross body bag to complete the look.
Describing it on the website, bosses say it “pairs perfectly with every outfit” with its “neutral colourway and its plain design”.
How New Look reinvented itself from a teen shop
by Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend
“REMEMBER on a Saturday you’d meet up with your mates in your local town or city centre for a nosey around the shops? Well, if you were like me you’d end up in a New Look.” says Clemmie Fieldsend.
“New Look was always one of those shops that when all else failed you could rely on them for whatever you needed.
Your college uniform, night out or disco outfit – whatever was required you could count on New Look to meet your style needs.”
Clemmie says: “I felt myself growing out of New Look and thought of it as a younger brand that wouldn’t have what I wanted but a quick scroll through their website or look through stores has proved me wrong.
“This summer they are serving up some on trend delights from clothing to accessories and of course their comfortable footwear.
“Recently they’ve lured in Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle for an exclusive Spring Edit plus fashion influencer Georgina Lennon.
“They’re providing quality basics, elevated stables and trend lead designs that echo the New Look we all once loved but just a bit more grown up.”
