Ice cream is the king of both the food and fashion realms this summer. If you're starting to feel a little sick from eating too much of this sweet delight, then don't worry — you can get your ice cream fix another way: With ice cream fashion. Everywhere you turn, designers are looking to our favorite iced treat for inspiration. Nicolas Martin Garcia showed his ice cream inspired collection "Lolito" at London Graduate Fashion Week 2015, ASOS collaborated with Walls to create some whimsical summery pieces, and Moschino released its novelty phone cases including tongue in cheek ice cream designs.
There's something so playful and fun about ice cream inspired fashion. It also evokes feelings of nostalgia and memories of vacations and trips to the beach. There are tons of ways to wear it too; you can choose to channel a vintage style pastel theme, an alternative creepy cute look, or go down the comedic, cartoony style route. Don't forget all of the different types of ice creams that are out there. There are so many different flavors, you can eat ice cream in a cone or piled high as a sundae, and don't forget the array of toppings!
So here's an ode to the humble ice cream in the form of ice cream inspired fashion, which will have you looking super sweet this summer.
