Look of the Day: On safari with Dolce & Gabbana

The khaki look has been back in fashion for a few seasons now. It has found a new habitat in the urban jungle, but the total look can sometimes seem a bit naff, so be careful. This week, this is how to rock the safari look with a typically Dolce&Gabbana twist.

The fabric is cotton, a city alternative on the technical materials used in actual safari kits. The shirt is worn as light jacket- so layered over a vest or t-shirt.

For an even greater contrast, these low wedges in PVC with big multicoloured twist are the opposite of camouflage.

Something to precious will look out of place, while something ethnic is a bit of an exaggeration. Choose some brightly coloured PVC bijoux with some natural material charms like brass and wood.
