How to Get the Most out of Your Summer Wardrobe

Summer is finally here, and it's time to refresh your wardrobe to stay cool and fresh during the warmer weather. We've provided below our top tips to help you get the most out of your wardrobe this summer while looking stylish and feeling comfortable.

 

Choose Loosely Fitted Options

 

When the temperature rises, the last thing you want is to feel constricted by tight-fitting clothes. Opt for loose-fitting tops, dresses, and bottoms that allow your skin to breathe. Not only will this keep you cool, but it will also give you a relaxed and effortless look.

Stick to Light Colours

Light colours reflect sunlight, helping to keep you cool. Choose clothing in shades like white, pastels, and light neutrals.

Prioritise Sun-Safe Accessories

 

Protecting yourself from the sun is crucial during the summer months. Opt for wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to shield your face and neck from harmful UV rays. Not only will these accessories keep you safe, but they will also elevate your outfit.

 

Choose Breathable Fabrics

 

Fabrics like cotton and linen are your best friends during summer. These materials allow air to circulate, keeping you cool and preventing sweat from clinging to your body. Look for clothing made from these fabrics to ensure maximum all-day comfort.

Don't Be Afraid to Play with Pops of Colour or Prints

 

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with vibrant colours and playful prints. Add a pop of colour to your outfit with a bold accessory, like a head scarf or purse, or incorporate a fun floral or tropical print into your ensemble. These small touches can instantly elevate your look and add a touch of personality.Shop the Havana Maxi Dress

 

Choose Investment Pieces

 

While it's tempting to stock up on cheaper, trendy pieces, investing in high-quality summer essentials will save you money in the long run. Look for versatile items like a well-fitted white shirt, a classic sundress, or a pair of tailored shorts. These investment pieces will not only last you for summers to come but will also effortlessly mix and match with the rest of your capsule wardrobe.

 

Keep Dark Colour for Evening/Night Events

 

While dark colours can be chic and sophisticated, they tend to absorb heat during the day. Save your dark outfits for evening or night events when the temperature cools down. Instead, embrace the light and airy feel of summer during the day with lighter shades.

Mix and Match Pieces to Keep Your Clothing in Rotation

Instead of buying a whole new wardrobe, mix and match your existing pieces to create new outfits. Pair different tops with bottoms, layer dresses with lightweight jackets, and experiment with accessories to create fresh looks. This way, you can make the most out of your summer wardrobe without breaking the bank.

So, there you have it – the best ways to get the most out of your wardrobe this summer. From incorporating versatile pieces, and experimenting with different outfit combinations, to adding a few key accessories, you'll be able to stay cool, stylish, and fresh all summer long.
