Summer Fashion

Aside from dresses, knitwear is the one thing that stays put during the quarterly wardrobe audit. My wardrobe features an easy-access shelf dedicated to knits, to be retrieved at a moment’s notice. It may be dubbed a fashion necessity but that doesn’t make knitwear any less appealing. As the UK graces us with fluctuating forecasts daily, knits are a sound investment piece. Knitwear lovers will be pleased to know that this year’s trends are in favour of their proclivities, as summer knits are in growing demand. Sleeveless knits, cropped cardigans and crochet weaves are dominating the summer 2022 market. For the first time in years, there’s a marrying of knitted fabrics and beachwear, creating the sublime crochet maxi dress and its variants—the sleeveless knit and transparent weaves tha...

It’s hard to believe, but there are days when wearing jeans or dresses isn’t all that appealing. So what else can you turn to when you want to feel comfortable, look chic and spend as little time as possible assembling your outfit? The answer is leggings. Hear me out. You might have gotten used to wearing them with your fluffiest slippers and cosiest knits in the early days of lockdown, but this summer, it’s time to revisit the wardrobe staple and rediscover the myriad ways in which you can wear it. One of the easiest ways to elevate a pair of leggings is with a well-chosen pair of shoes. Seeing as it’s summer, let’s focus on sandals. Be they heeled or flat, sandals have the ability to make any outfit feel more polished, particularly in place of trainers or boots, and the humble legging is...

If there’s one thing I don’t have it’s plentiful time to get ready. As someone who always seems to be running late, I never have enough time to figure out an outfit. Following outfit templates has become my way of life, and I can’t recommend it enough.  There are people who think up outfits weeks in advance and plan them out to the last accessory, but honestly, I just can’t relate. I depend on easy style that is quick to put together, and summer is the best season for uncomplicated outfits. Forget clever layering, summer relies on the bare necessities. And with a few great outfit formulas to hand, you’ll have plenty of last minute outfits for those leaving-when-you’re-meant-to-arrive days.  You Deserve to Make Money Ev...

Not to toot my own horn, but I definitely have a knack for identifying common themes among celebrity outfits. For instance, Jennifer Lopez recently wore a baggy white jacket and trouser suit that reminded me of a strikingly similar Meghan Markle outfit. I also wrote a story on the Y2K bag that Bella Hadid and Madison Beer both own. For all of you skeptics out there, no, it’s not about comparing women to each other—it’s about tracing the evolution of a trend from runways to celebrities to retailers and beyond.  Now, I spotted another recurrent item: flat espadrilles. Both Kate Middleton and Anna Wintour have worn the summer shoe trend, and now Lily James is hopping on board. Photographed in London, she wore an army green outfit with flat espadrilles...

I don’t know about you, but summer is always the highlight of my year. 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 that if the sandals don’t work due to rain, plenty of the below outfits work with boots. There are looks for all of your summer plans, from elegant parties to afternoons in beer gardens. So without further ado, let us introduce you to the summer outfit ideas we’re dreaming of for 2022, provided by some standout looks and supported by the shopping pieces yo...

It’s only coming up to the end of June, and I’ve already bought four co-ords. Last summer I bought some too, so after bringing these back out, 2022 for me is all about being matchy-matchy. I’m not the only one, either. Lucy Williams has been wearing a laidback oversized shirt and short pairings on repeat, Zeena and Ellie have been backing the top and skirt sets and stylist Hannah has shown everyone how to style the vest and trouser co-ord. The reason I love them? They’re easy. With minimal effort needed, you can throw on a matching set and it’ll instantly make you look put together. Not only this, I see them as a two-for-one buy considering you can break up the duo and wear them as separates from other staples in your existing wardrobe. And this cost per wear justifies my need for the...

Outerwear migration is telling of the upcoming seasons and the outerwear of choice this summer is the blazer, more specifically in the linen fabrication. I’ve seen an influx of linen blazers—both high-street and high-end—funnel onto e-commerce and they look mighty appealing for the forecast we’ve been lent in the UK.

When it comes to channelling the current Y2K aesthetic, there are plenty of sunglasses-wearing icons to take inspiration from: Legally Blonde‘s Elle Woods, Anastasia, Paris Hilton, Britney (and Justin). Aim for candy colours, translucent or no frames, and any diamanté details to score extra points.

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 summer is here and shorts are 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 same old thing. To avoid&n...

We Who What Wear UK editors have quite a few things in common, one of which is our love of Marks and Spencer. Of course, we all have our own personal styles, but we’re 100% united on how great M&S’s wardrobe staples are. They’re the kind of pieces you know you’re going to wear over and over again for years to come, so the fact that you can rely on the quality as well as the design is key, and they have an affordable price tag to boot.  From cashmere to pretty lingerie and all the classics in between, each of us has at least one favourite thing we turn to M&S for, and I think I may have found my newest crush. I’d heard about how great the high-street hero’s linen pieces were through the grapevine, but in order to report back in...

It’s a little-known fact that most people who work in fashion are hoarders. This is because we know that fashion is cyclical, and many of us have learned the hard way never to get rid of the items we once loved to wear. Not only will they most likely come back into style, but you never know when you might happen across a more current way to wear them. Still, the nature of fashion is that trends ebb and flow in popularity, and when something has been around for a long time, its initial appeal is sure to wear off at some point. That’s when some might label these pieces as being “dated.” With a new season in our midst, our editors have taken a moment to think about the trends that have had more than their fair share of time in the style spotlight and which fresh looks ...
