The balmy summer weather is upon us at last! With temperatures rising, it’s often harder to put chic looks together when we’d rather be wearing nothing at all. Luckily this season’s hottest looks were filled with great pieces that also happened to bare some skin. Although it can be tricky to achieve that perfect summer ensemble while staying cool and looking appropriate, there are plenty of options.
Breezy dresses can be found everywhere and are great to keep you cool and looking stylish. Pair them with a lower heel, wedge or strappy flats to keep the look casual while staying feminine and flirty.
Shorts have made a huge comeback this season and come in an endless array of styles for different body types. Whether they are a tailored city cut, high-waisted and fitted, chambray denim, loose linen, or to-the-knee, with so much leg on show it’s important to balance out the silhouette by covering up on top. A billowy blouse, button-up shirt or tailored blazer will add some sophistication.
If shorts and minis are too much skin for you, try summer pants in full wide-legged or cropped cuts ideal for day-to-day wear in the city or on the beach. For a one-stop statement, maxi dresses in bold prints and colours epitomize bohemian effortlessness and can be dressed up or down.
Whatever your choice, don’t shy away from bold accessories like chunky jewelry, bright handbags and embellished footwear.
With that natural summer glow in action, keep your beauty routine minimal with natural skin and pops of colour and don’t forget the sunscreen!
