How to wear Neoprene- Summers must have material

It's Tuesday again!

With summer and the festival season coming to a peak we have been searching far and wide to bring together some of the seasons hottest trends to you before you head off to watch your favourite music acts. One of the fabrics that we're absolutely in love with (and apparently so are fashion designers) is neoprene. Never heard of this? It's what you'd find in nearly all surf shops, however fashion has re-created it and made it high end! Still not too sure on how a wet suit can be turned into a fashion statement? Don't worry, we didn't expect you to and that's why we're here to show you a couple of our favourites created using this surfer style material. 

Dresses are worn all through the year, but with summer being unpredictable and the English weather often having the tendency to let us down it's important to have staple dresses that can be worn in a wide range of weather conditions. 

Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubbers and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range, meaning that even in the hottest of weather you're not going to get that sticky feeling and you don't have to worry about getting hot and bothered when you're busy surfing the crowds whilst the Arctic Monkeys are playing. 

Another benefit of this wacky fabric is that although it's breathable and keeps you from from overheating in the summer, it's also self insulating and keeps the heat in when it's cold! Magic? We think so to.

So if you're looking for something that's bang on trend, comfortable and wearable all year round, grab yourself a few Neoprene items before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon, or before Vera Wang has snapped up every single piece of the material in existence.
