Cienna Designs has put together a list of your sunshine season must-haves to achieve that boho chic summer girl look.
Why Cienna Designs is a summer fashion favourite
When it comes to bohemian fashion, Cienna Designs has become a top-of-mind of many ladies in Australia — and even around the world. With a wide selection of clothing and accessories, there’s always something stylish for you at Cienna Designs.
Bandeaus, blouses, skirts, dresses, and shorts? All of your summer essentials are here! But why has the brand grown to become a summer fashion Australia favourite?
Versatile designs
Shopping for the season is always a good idea. After all, some garments are suitable for a specific weather and season. However, versatility is something that Cienna Designs takes pride in. While these pieces are perfect for sunny summertime, these are designed to be transeasonal. They’re so beautiful that you can mix and match them to fit whatever season you’re in.
Style on point
You can flaunt these pieces all year round, but what about the style? Trends surely come and go, but the bohemian selection at Cienna Designs is a perfect fuse of classic boho beauty and stylish timeless trends. Guaranteed that your style is up with the times but will not be out of fashion in an instant!
Slow and sustainable fashion
More than just a fashion direction but also a way of life, sustainability is at the ethos of the bohemian lifestyle. What could be a better way to stay true to this principle than to support a brand that encourages it? Pieces at Cienna Designs are made with love and not mass-produced, making every garment a unique piece of art.
Our favourite Australian summer fashion picks
Ready to embrace the Aussie summer in style? Take cues from our hottest summer fashion looks below and be picture-perfect this season!
The summer weather can get so hot that you don’t have the energy to think of what to wear. In search of a fashionable fool-proof fit for this season? The stylish solution is to pair pieces of the same print! In this case, the Zara Top and the Zara Wrap Skirt.
The Zara Top is a sultry beauty with lovely tones of peach and aqua combined in a floral print. Its tie design in front gives enough coverage in the chest area while leaving some room for showing off your skin. Flare sleeves add a bohemian flair to this fabulous piece.
Bearing the same pretty print, the Zara Wrap Skirt is a floor-grazing darling with frills at the bottom for that extra boho touch. With a true wrap style, you can adjust the fit of the skirt to your liking.
Complete this duo with your favourite summer sandals, preferably in earth tones such as tan, and slide on some sunnies for that chic girl look.
Spring may be over but florals are not going anywhere yet. Summer carries with it a bright and vibrant mood. Go with that colourful mindset by wearing a fun floral blouse like the Bloom Zest Top.
Whether you’re off to work or just hanging out with your besties, this blouse is sure to get you fashionably ready to conquer the day. Flares at the bottom of the sleeves add extra oomph to this lovely number. Ties can be tied at the back or the front for more shape on your silhouette.
As temperatures rise in the summertime, comfort is also definitely something you should invest in. Made from a silk viscose blend, this soft and smooth piece is surely comfortable to wear. Undeniably a wonderful summer top in all aspects
Summer dresses are perfect for this time of the year. Flowy, breathable, and cute — they are basically a summer fashion Australia essential. (If you wanna go frock-shopping, go check out our full list of summer dresses with pieces that are as equally beautiful as this one!)
A fresh addition to our collection of feminine frocks is this Meadows Short Dress. One look at this piece and you can already see why ladies adore it so much. It has a simple yet stunning boho design and a green vintage floral print that will channel your inner gypsy goddess.
The design of its bodice is crafted to emphasise your wonderful curves. Even with a semi-deep v neck style, there’s enough coverage in the chest area to keep it modest. Mini puff sleeves can be worn on or off shoulder depending on your mood. What more can you ask for in a summer dress?
No warm-weather wardrobe is ever complete without a pair of cute shorts. Since the sun shines brightly this season, having this garment in your fashion arsenal is a need. Not only will you feel comfy and breezy on humid days but you also get to show off your beautiful legs. A top pick for summer fashion Australia is the Lara Shorts.
Live your Barbie dreams in this pretty-in-pink number. Made from silk blend fabric, this pair is absolutely something you’d love wearing throughout the season. Not to mention, the vintage bohemian print is so chic.
Copy this fabulous outfit by pairing your Lara Shorts with a plain white sleeveless blouse like the Johny Top. The simplicity of your top will match harmoniously with the feminine print of the shorts. Don’t forget your cutest sandals and a pair of sunnies!
The warm weather is the perfect excuse for you to show off your skin and embrace the sunshine. How do you bare some skin even when you’re not on the beach? A bandeau! This might just become your bestie this summertime. Make a statement with a sultry piece like this Blush Silk Bandeau Top.
What we love about this tube top is the lovely bohemian pattern in blush tones. While solid-coloured bandeaus are cute, this patterned version makes a phenomenal statement. Since it’s elastic, it will certainly hug your figure. Plus, you won’t have to constantly adjust it so it won’t fall off.
Plains and prints are a match made in heaven. One styling recommendation when wearing this stunning bandeau is to team it with plain bottoms of the same hue. Look at how it works seamlessly and stylishly with the Tropez Pants in Wine. Plain and patterned, tight and flowy — the contrasts look amazing!
If you don’t have a kaftan in your wardrobe yet, you’re definitely missing out. This robe-like piece is great for lounging around at home or when you’re out by the beach. Imagine the soft material breezing through the wind. Magnifique!
A piece that we definitely recommend that you add to your summer fashion Australia staple list is the Shawnee Kaftan. It has a stunning turquoise print with gold leaf, an adjustable drawstring paired with a v neckline, and the silkiest material. This free-size garment is so comfy and will fit up to a size 20.
Elegant on its own, all you have to do is put on this kaftan, get your favourite sandals, some arm candies and necklaces, and you’re bohemian chic in no time!
Beach day, errands sprint, or a lazy day at home – a kimono is such a charming garb to wear during summertime (or any season, for that matter!) Aside from being a breathable piece to flaunt in this humid season, it also goes well with just about anything. The outfits you can create are endless!
While we have an enchanting range of kimonos and dusters here at Cienna Designs, one design that has been receiving so much love from our boho ladies is the Sade Duster. Its silk blend fabric is sure to help you withstand the Aussie heat. Plus, the pattern and hues are a-do-ra-ble.
Aside from vibing well with casual clothing, your kimono/duster also doubles as a beach coverup. Don’t forget to pack it when you’re heading out to the sea for your dose of summer sunshine!
Perfect for your upcoming summer vacay, a knit dress that shows off the right amount of skin is an essential. Knit dresses are exceptional for the warm months, especially when worn on top of your bikini at the beach.
The Tyra Knit Dress will undoubtedly channel the bohemian summer goddess within you. There’s no getting over how marvellous the knit patterns are on this piece. What’s exceptional about this is how it is handmade by partner communities of the brand. Slow and sustainable summer fashion Australia at its finest!
This curve-hugging knit is best paired with your favourite swimwear. It can also be for casual days out when worn with a slip-on underneath.
