As Love Island Season 8 is over, now seems like the perfect time to look back on some of our favourite styles that have featured in The Villa over the last 8 weeks.
This season has shown us drama, fall outs, love and everything in-between, and it’s also shown us some emerging styles that we think will be hitting the shelves in the coming months. From dramatic cut-out styles and bodycon dresses, to vibrant colours and bold prints that are perfect for the summer and beyond. We’ve picked out some of our favourite Love Island outfits that we’ve seen this season, along with some DLSB dupes that we think all you dolls will love.
Animal Print
One trend that we’ve seen throughout Love Island season 8 that never seems to go out of fashion is animal print. Gemma Owen has been loving this style this season, dazzling viewers in a sexy off-the-shoulder leopard print look at the infamous fire pit. Her love for animal print didn’t stop there, she also wowed the crowd in her sophisticated snakeskin bodycon with long sleeves and ruched detailing.
We’re loving the safari style in Gemma’s signature neutral tones, and if you’re liking this understated look too, then our Hopeless Romantic Zebra Print Slip is the perfect Love Island look for you. This gorgeous zebra print midi dress is ideal for dressing up or down for nights on the town, or strolls in the park. Or, if you’re wanting to steal the show, then this vibrant leopard print bodycon is sure to turn some heads. This flattering asymmetric style is the perfect choice for those wanting to add some of their own personal style to the Love Island look.

Bold in Blue
Blue has made quite a splash this summer in The Villa, with the girls coordinating head-to-toe in a variety of bold and subdued blue hues for an evening of partying. If you and your girls are wanting to recreate the power group look, DLSB has the perfect styles that will ensure you stun like the Love Island girls.
We’re all about the Love Island dresses that we’ve seen this season, and we have some gorgeous styles that will have you feeling classy, confident and island party ready. For a subtly sexy look, this backless blue bodycon makes a great addition to your wardrobe and is perfect for summer holidays, right through to Christmas parties.

Along with statement cobalt dresses, pastel blue co-ords and turquoise two-pieces, we’ve also seen the return of blue denim as a wardrobe staple. Paige stunned in this layered blue denim corset and shirt look, and we have the perfect dupe for those wanting to show off their villa style. We’ve swapped the button down shirt for a more casual t-shirt dress, perfect for adding some extra spice to an everyday outfit.

The Ombre Effect
One to never shy away from the limelight, Danica has been flaunting some gorgeous, attention-grabbing ombre looks in The Villa, like this fiery orange and yellow co-ord, and this bold bikini 3-piece set. We’re also loving this trend here at DLSB this season, ombre is the perfect pattern for the girls that like to introduce lots of colour into their wardrobe, and at DLSB we never shy away from the bold and bright.
