Summer Fashion

No matter where you live in the world at one point or another, you’re probably going to want to wear shorts during the summer. But as far as summer staples go, shorts aren’t exactly the most fail-safe 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 coming back into our outfit rotation (I don’t know about you, but it’s going to be 90° this week where I live), now is the perfec...

There are only a few pieces that can truly lay claim to the phrase “wardrobe essential.” Along with jeans and sneakers, tank tops definitely fall into the category of basics everyone should own. I don’t blame you if you want to invest in a designer version à la Katie Holmes’s viral cashmere tank moment, but this one goes out to all the budget shoppers out there. So how far can you stretch $40 when it comes to tank tops? There is a huge variety of styles available, from fitted going-out tanks to easygoing crop tops for working from home. To provide a bit of outfit inspiration, I also rounded up some well-dressed It girls who can show you how to style each tank. Scroll down to shop the 22 best tank tops under $40 organized by silhouette.&...

There are plenty of delicate florals and cute ginghams (the classic pattern continues to be a huge trend this year), chic linens in fresh pastel shades, and, of course, those wardrobe staples that underpin many a great look, like striped tees and white jeans. Whether you’re set for a season of alfresco dining, garden parties, staycations, or all of the above, there’s guaranteed to be something here for you to add to your wish list. It seems it’s not just us that has fallen for the new French Connection drop either. We’ve recently spotted plenty of stylish influencers sporting the brand’s new pieces, which is always helpful to inspire future outfit planning. If you keep scrolling, you’ll see just how they’re wearing their favourite styles, and then you can shop the new collection ...

There’s one outfit that people of every fashion disposition have come to rely on. It’s ageless, always looks effortless, and will serve you well for a multitude of occasions. The headline already gave it away, but we are, of course, talking about jeans and nice tops. However, this combination needn’t be reserved for the cooler months. In fact, a host of our favourite influencers have given the ensemble a warm-weather overhaul by pairing tops typically worn in the summertime with their favourite year-round jeans. Seeing as we live in Britain, we reckon this is a sensible outfit to wear on the days when the weather forecast is changeable at best. So keep scrolling to see eight excellent examples of summer tops to wear with jeans. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you...

I don’t like to pick favourites, but if I could only wear one item of clothing for the rest of my life, it would be a dress. Sure, I like jeans and skirts, but in my case anyway, they just don’t spark the same joy as a dress. Be they midis or minis, fitted or oversize, dresses make up a huge percentage of the clothes hanging in my wardrobe, and that’ll likely always be the case. Recently, however, I find my head is continually being turned by something other than a frock. Jumpsuits are one of those trends I never thought I could pull off. I’m petite, but that’s not the thing holding me back. I think it’s a combination of having a long torso and legs on the shorter side. Although I’m at peace with my physique, I always just assumed this imbalan...

Marks and Spencer has been knocking it out of the park with its latest collections. So much so, you’d be forgiven for thinking the brand had already reached its stylish peak this year. Then we laid eyes on M&S’s summer edit, and it became blatantly clear that the affordable fashion hot spot was just getting started, and its warm-weather drop is, quite simply, one of its best yet.  Having presided over the Great British high street for over a century, Marks and Spencer is known for serving up the best basics in the business. Its lingerie collection is unrivalled, as is its edit of high-quality linen. However, over the past few years, M&S has proven it has serious style credentials, too, not merely by tapping into the top trends but also by starting them. And that’s pr...

When the ’70s episode of Disney+’s WandaVision first came to our television screens, I resonated heavily with the colorful ensembles and unique interiors. I must not have been the only one because the trends of 2021 seem to be giving the decade a second life on both the fashion and home décor scenes, and I’m not surprised. In a time where we’ve all been stuck in our home for the most part in the past year, the world is ready to embrace youthful, energetic, and fun styles for the hopeful summer ahead. It was evident when designers released their S/S 21 collections in the fall, and it’s clear as day now when you take a scroll through your favorite retailers. Amid the pages of your everyday basics, you’ll find a rainbow of colo...

Regardless of what your summer plans look like, as the weather gets hotter we always gravitate towards simpler, easy-to-style items. So we’ve looked through hundreds of collections to bring you a concise edit of 29 pieces that we think are no-brainers for this summer and years beyond.  The below items are some of the most simple but effective throw-on styles we have found that will make getting dressed in the morning a little easier. From May onwards, we often lean on timeless separates, and these are what our editors are wearing for days at home, afternoons in the sunshine or al fresco dining.  The easy-to-style buys we rate and would add to any summer capsule include elegant T-Shirt dresses, comfortable Teva sandals, linen trousers, throw-on dresses and a basket bag....

Once a fabric with a reputation for being difficult to wear (not to mention to iron), linen has regained affection in the fashion world over the past couple of summers. The material has dominated everything from dresses to co-ords and trousers, with labels like Bondi Born, Faithfull the Brand, and Prada serving up chic linen garments. Still, perhaps the most in-demand linen item remains the simplest: the shirt. Even when linen had largely fallen out of style, linen shirts remained ever-present. And with the warmer months coming upon us swiftly, now seems like the perfect time to invest in one should your wardrobe be lacking. While classic shades of black, white and beige will always be a safe sartorial bet, we’ve noticed that more and more of our influencer friends are opting fo...
