This seasons safari trend is great if you are planning  a trip to Africa, but it is also a really smart and cool look for any occasion this summer. The key to this look is the softly structured jacket pulled in at the waist with a belt. Short shorts showing off tanned legs and leather sandals. The beige and khaki colour scheme is mixed with whites, browns and tans. For  a really dramatic effect, designers like Christopher Kane have used animal skin prints. Chiffon also featured, giving some of the outfits a much softer feel.

At Versace white was the predominate colour but with this seasons safari shorts - short, khaki and tailored.

At Donna Karen loose fitting and softly draping shorts looked great with a fitted top, wide belt and 3/4 length coat for a really elegant take on the safari look.

At Michael Kors, a crisp and clean cut safari jacket was teamed with short white shorts. A floppy hat and sunglasses completed the look and were also great for protection from the hot African sun.

At Blumarine, a khaki shorts suit with softly structured tailoring looked cool and laid back.
