When you expect a sunny, warm summer and it doesn’t quite go your way, we have some great style tips to help you take on the weather and look fab. From light layers and energetic prints to jersey dresses and short sleeved jumpers, we’ve got it all.
Jumper for joy
We hate to say it, but we’ve reached for the odd summer jumper now and again in this unpredictable weather, so we thought we’d share our favs. We love this emerald green, V-neck style in a soft cotton blend. Choose from this lovely shade, fuchsia and sapphire blue.
All look great with Relaxed Fit Jeans for pure comfort. Stretch at the waist, turn ups for a summer feel and so versatile. You can’t go wrong with this look.
Short sleeved beauties
A Jumper Knitted in its own pattern is a great choice for warmer times. Short sleeves, a pretty knit and two great colours mean this jumper has a lot going for it. Wear it with a vest top underneath so you can take the jumper off in case the sun shines. Team it with Slim Leg Printed Trousers for a splash of colour and finish off with trainers or sandals. Then you’ve nailed it. Cloudy mornings, sunny afternoons, spots of rain. You’ll look right wherever you go.
In between dresses
Dresses are so flexible, you can wear them from summer through to autumn on those days the weather looks a bit iffy. These create a great look with heels, wedges or trainers. Pleated and in bright colours, our Printed Shirt Dress is a top pick. With a belt to show off your waist it adds confidence and that feel-good feeling.
Our printed Jersey Dress is also a handy piece to have. The florals are great for summer, while the navy base will take you into next season. Layer it up with a white or pink cardigan for extra warmth when the sun disappears.
Fresh blouses perfect for layering
Blouses are ideal for an unpredictable August. In fact they’re great for any month. You can wear them as they are, have them slightly open with a vest top underneath, or pop them on under a good old jumper for those chillier days. Though you may not want to cover these stunners up with a toasty jumper.
We love the embroidery on the traditional white, cotton shirt. Perfect with roll up sleeves, it crosses seasons beautifully. While the Broderie Anglais top, has a frill which can’t help catch the eye. In three gorgeous colours, we think it’s definitely a go-to blouse of the summer.
Shoes to see you through the seasons
Whether you get caught in a downpour, or the sun comes out to play, you need great shoes. Our team picked out these two pairs which are everyday winners.
Take your pick from comfy, Amortyl Derby shoes and classic moccasins. As always, the Amortyl shoes have hidden shock absorbing soles and removable insoles to create your perfect fit. They’re also water repellent and have a zip fastening for ease.
The moccasins come in a gorgeous camel colour, and are also water repellent. Breathable and in a totally neutral shade they’re something you’ll reach for time and time again.
