When the heat hits and we need some summer comfort in our wardrobe, I always hesitate at putting on something that’s too basic. I don’t want to wear layers in summer and can get easily overstimulated in the heat, so finding basics with an edge is a dream. And here are KILLSTAR saving the day with their spiderweb summer pieces – from short-sleeve cardigans to dresses, to shirts and hats. It’s all in the details, or should I say webs…
Their 100 per cent viscose web ripper shirt and spider swinger dress are perfect for a mild summer day. I don’t think people understand viscose enough to be honest; it’s made from natural materials such as wood pulp, it drapes amazingly, is breathable and absorbs moisture, and holds dyes well, giving you a perfect black material!
They also have lots of spider-themed accessories to match, like their arachno vixen wallet, and spooky swing travel bag, which looks like a gothic twist on a 1940s classic travel case with a gorgeous embossed spider print and hardwear detailing. My personal favourite is the ceaseless night bag – a velvet handbag with an embroidered spider web pattern and metal clasp detail.
