Citrus summer: Eat fruits, but wear them too

Florals for spring may not be revolutionary, but infusing a fruity twist into your style this season? Certainly a fantastic notion!

For a long time, food has inspired fashion designers. From bright yellow lemon patterns to cherry motifs on dresses and T-shirts, food inspirations have frequently found their way into our clothing. Indeed, food has evolved into a distinctive design feature for numerous fashion brands. Consider Dolce & Gabbana, for example, whose designs frequently honor the luxurious visual appeal of Italian food.

Currently, fruits are dominating not only plates but also fashion; they appear as prints or patches on light clothing and as luxurious fashion jewelry. Envision a Judith bag in the shape of a watermelon embellished with dazzling stones, or a cluster of grapes embellishing your ears (we mean earrings in this context).

Prominent global fashion labels such as Tory Burch, Chloe, Kate Spade, Oscar de la Renta, Loewe, and Dolce & Gabbana are turning fashion into a fruity sensation with their eye-catching accessories. The brands present a diverse assortment of both delicate and intricate statement items.

Naturally, many of them are vibrant, featuring patterns influenced by strawberries, cherries, bananas, and watermelons. These items provide an immediate burst of color to your outfit – whether you’re sporting fruit accessories with a simple white shirt and blue jeans or a daring dress for a day out with friends.

For individuals with a penchant for luxury and elegance, metallic fruit jewelry is simply captivating.

For example, consider Chloe’s bold metallic necklace. The chunky necklace, entirely in gold, features charms shaped like bananas and pineapples. In the same vein, Balmain’s large golden grapes are neither green nor black but rather a delicate golden tone – hefty enough to give the impression of a work of art.

You don’t have to be a Shalini Passi or Uorfi Javed to revamp your fashion style with a fruity twist. There are also delicate and budget-friendly items readily accessible in the market. Visit Zara or check out jewellery shops on Instagram – you’ll discover many designs.

Adorn your wrist with bracelets, several of which feature fruit charms. You can stylishly showcase your enthusiastic and vivid personality with layered fruity necklaces or charming pendant necklaces (you are clearly a spirited and lively individual if you prefer wearing colorful fruit accessories). Ananya Panday, Khushi Kapoor, and Hailey Bieber are embracing the trend, already flaunting their adorable fruity earrings. Khushi, who sported orange earrings from the brand Vandals for an event, also included a citrus-themed bag charm.

In addition to jewellery, there is a flawless selection of bags and shoes that celebrate fruits as fashion’s beloved inspiration. Summer is all about welcoming lively shades, and fruit jewelry wonderfully enhances the colorful explosion feel. The trend corresponds with the resurgence of Y2K fashion among younger groups such as Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Not only fruits, but food as a fashion statement, overall, is a popular trend. Numerous fashion labels are turning to supermarkets for creative photo shoots, as baguette-themed bags and snack packet-style bags keep attracting attention, merging the realms of cuisine and style.
