Summer Fashion

No matter where you live in the world, you’re probably going to want to wear shorts during the summer. But as far as summer staples go, shorts aren’t exactly the easiest item to style. There are many different types of shorts, and figuring out what to wear with them can take a bit of trial and error.  Shorts trends don’t change all that often (just consider how long bike shorts and cutoff denim shorts have been a thing), so coming up with fresh ways to wear them is of the utmost importance as the weather warms up. Since spring is in full swing and shorts are on the cusp of coming back into our outfit rotations, now is the perfect time to think about how to put together shorts outfits that aren’t just the sa...

A few summers ago, in a desperate bid for inspiration, I looked to some of my favourite stylish people of all ages to figure out what it was they were all doing so right. Turns out linen was the common denominator in all of their outfits—from dresses to shirts and even tailoring. Of course, I went straight out and started building up my collection, and I’ve never looked back. The epitome of summer ease, linen, unlike certain recognisable prints or colour trends, is timeless, and the quality is long-lasting, so you can pull out the same classic pieces year after year. As soon as the temperatures rise, the light fabric works for relaxed weekends pottering around the house, it works for the office, and it even works as occasionwear. What’s not to like? Despite li...

There may be other places we turn to for investment buys and extra special pieces, but for of-the-moment trends and instant wardrobe refreshes, it has to be Zara. Don’t ask us how, but they always seem to be ahead of the season’s biggest trends which is impressive and honestly unusual for a high street brand. It’s part of the reason we (and you) love it so much.  Right now, there’s endless pieces on Zara we’ve got our eyes on (if you saw our basket, it would almost be embarrassing), but out of all of it there’s 7 trends we’ve noticed them doing *particularly* well. This should help us whittle down our shopping lists to the best of the best. And considering they’re also some of the biggest trends going into summer 2022, the list below can help prepare you...

It can be tough, but a few summers ago— in a desperate bid for inspiration— I looked to some of my favourite stylish people across all ages to figure out what it was they were all doing so right. Turns out, it was linen that was the common denominator in all of their outfits— from dresses to shirts and even tailoring. Of course, I went straight out and started building up my collection and I’ve never looked back. The epitome of summer ease, linen, unlike certain recognisable prints or colour trends, is timeless and the quality is long-lasting, so you can pull out the same classic pieces year after year. As soon as the temperatures rise, the light fabric works for relaxed weekends pottering around the house, it works for the office and it even works as occasionwear—...

I know, I know—we’ve only had about five days of sunshine so far this spring, and that’s enough to put me in summer mode. What can I say? I’m optimistic. Whatever happens between now and June, summer is inevitable, and I would like to be prepared when the opportunity to wear something fun without the need for a trench coat or knit presents itself. And knowing that you, our dear Who What Wear readers, are sartorially savvy, I have a hunch that your minds are also gravitating towards your summer outfits. Well, we’re in good company. Just this week, it seems like every influencer I follow has also begun to hone their summer aesthetic (it’s the sun—I tell you), and in doing so, they’ve been serving up a fresh array of impressive outfits. Although I’m something of a minimalist, I’ve loved ...

When it comes to summer shopping, nothing gets me as excited as accessories do. I tend to gravitate toward simple clothes and really get playful with my extras. But I also go a bit overboard pretty much every summer. Trendy summer accessories are some of the most fun things you can buy, but I’ve finally learned that I don’t need them all, so I’m making this the year I start limiting myself. To start, I made a list of the essentials. (I intentionally didn’t include shoes because I think they deserve their own category.) The beauty of summer accessories is that they don’t have to be taken too seriously. For example, it’s perfectly acceptable for a raffia tote to be your handbag for the day. Read on to find out which summer acc...

Sounds obvious, but impulse buys are so easy to make. And after years of having items with tags left on in my wardrobe, I now make a conscious effort to think about what I need and will get the wear out of. This doesn’t mean I don’t buy into trends, I do, but I just buy the ones I know I’ll wear. It’s so important to remember we don’t have to wear all the new trends each and every season. As part of my effort to not shop for the sake of it, I keep a handy list in my notes with links to everything I’ve seen that I want at the time. And if I’m still thinking about it weeks, or months, later and I feel like I’ll wear it often, I’ll buy it. So, seeing as sharing is caring, here’s a look into my notes app on my iPhone with everything I love for summer. From Free People’s waistcoat an...

I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is summer. If you too are dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits ahead of time. I bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the sun shining last week, and have been looking for outfit ideas ever since. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember if the sandals don’t work due to rain, plenty of the ...

What is one of your favorite vacation memories?  Wakeboarding in Tahiti is the best. [The water] is literally a bath—so warm and beautiful—so even if you fall, it doesn’t matter. I loved that. What do you wear when wakeboarding? When I’m doing water sports, I’m not going to go there with the outfit. I would rather be comfortable while wakeboarding. Usually a one-piece or a rashguard or at least bottoms that don’t tie.  I’m sure you have packing down to a science with how often you travel for work. Do you have any tips for the less experienced traveler? Oh, I’m known for it. I always show up for a four- or five-day job with a carry-on, and everyone’s like, “How did you do that?” My tips are to know your basics. You donR...

A few years ago, as I fell head first into my 30s, I made a pact with myself to try to be the kind of chic woman who wears linen all summer long. You know the type. Think Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton in every Nancy Meyers movie (goals)—the kind who floats down to the farmer’s market every weekend with a basket bag slung over her arm and a linen shirt billowing behind her. Okay, that part might be slightly more difficult to re-create while living in London, but the effortlessness of a linen outfit is something we can all realistically achieve. There’s just something about a linen dress, button-down or pair of trousers that just feels so timeless, ageless and polished—am I right? And with the weather starting to (finally!) get warmer just in time for Easter, I can already feel my...

There are some microtrends that have are so clickbait-y, so purposefully created for the internet and social media feeds, that they die out before they’ve even had much of a chance to reach a wider audience. It’s probably for the best, as many of Instagram or TikTok’s most “liked” items can be hugely unrealistic for day-to-day wear. These contributing factors explain why the term microtrend has become a dirty one among fashion lovers who like to consume more consciously, and so we use it carefully. The way we think of microtrends is more about the subtler pieces, prints, colours, outfit combinations and accessories that are on the rise, destined for fashion fame but with the chance to actually work both IRL and for the long run. This is all...
