WEAR ABOUTS
Summer means lots of events. Lots of events means lots of different outfits. And little time for deciding what to wear. Enter our handy guide to pretty much every summer situation you’ll ever be in. Basically.
You never know what the vibe will be at a barbecue
Or garden party
So it pays to play it safe. But stylish
A linen dress will keep you cool, regardless of the social situation
Add lawn-ready trainers and a pop-of- colour phone bag
So your hands are free to balance a hot dog and your (second?) Pimm’s
So you paid good money to stand around with thousands of others who also couldn’t really have a shower?
You need the right outfit
Festival dressing but don’t make it clichéd
We say go boho, but practical too
An embroidered shirt is airy but will keep you covered if the sun does shine.
Team with jeggings that are comfy and mud-proof and a patchwork cross-body.
For your dry shampoo if nothing else
You don’t want to stand out too much at a wedding
Just enough so the champagne waiters spot you
Plus, you want to be cool and comfy. It’s a long day
A cotton dobby dress in a sage-y green feels ultra-feminine
It's got a full skirt for swaying to the wedding band, plus church-ready sleeves
Accessorise with a touch of gold jewellery and a soft, snug cardigan (in case you're the last to leave)
