Tips how to wear a prairie style

Make the most of this hot, humid weather by adapting outfits in simple chiffon and cotton fabrics. Luckily, one of the trends doing the rounds this summer equals  easy relaxed prairie chic. Leading the prairie brigade, designers Aneeth Arora and Marc Jacobs showcased an array of ditsy print dresses and checked shirts. Vogue.in lets you in how you can update this age-old trend to suit 2012.

Casual: This feminine trend is ideal for those lazy days when you want to unwind. Slip into a peasant blouse such as this striped on from Per Una by Marks and Spencer over a pair of coloured jeans for idle brunches. To inject a little bit of city into this country-inspired trend, pair a light-washed denim jacket with a floral dress. Vogue.in recommends the denim cotton combo dress by S. Oliver.

Work: For a more professional approach to this country  trend, pair it with tan heels and bright coloured blazers. Vogue.in recommends the floral dress by Zara, paired  with a structured bag and the Sequin sparkle tan wedge sandals by Clarks for a business like look.

Cocktails: Although prairie skirts and tops are best suited for the day time, make this trend work in your favour by taking it from day to night by opting for varying hemlines, cutwork details and plunging necklines. Vogue.in recommends the Raindrop lace top by J Crew, best worn with skinny jeans and towering heels. Alternatively, for dress lovers, the Salon printed dress by ASOS works well with sleek makeup, neon bag and fuss free accessories.
