With stuffy tube trains, ice cold offices and searing sunshine to consider- summer heat can cause some real style dramas so here are my tips for effortless summer glamour.
As temperatures soar it’s tempting to take the less is more approach and dress in your skimpiest attire. But be warned, this will do as little for your style cred as it will for your Goosebumps when you hit the office air con.
Instead opt for key summer pieces which flatter your figure and work with your existing wardrobe.
Dress clever
Dresses are perfect for summer. Totally fuss free and self-contained you can throw it on and go. Maxi dresses are big news again this year and a loose style will keep you cool while acting as a good cover-up in chillier environments.
Colour me cool
Black absorbs heat, making you sweat faster. So it’s handy that this season colour is all in. Colour block in neon brights or keep things cool in lights and whites to give your look some summer zing and keep your temperature in check.
Cover your bases
Keep a cover-up handy to avoid shivering in air conditioning. A perfect pashmina in a staple neutral or a relaxed jacket in light-weight material will work with most outfits
What are you made of?
In hot weather a good fabric choice can mean the difference between sweat marks and looking fresh. Avoid anything synthetic. Natural cottons and linens will keep your clothes from sticking to you or riding up in the heat, and will keep you looking groomed for longer.
Keep your feet sweet
Feet swell in the heat which means pinching courts are a no- no. Indulge your tootsies this summer in gorgeous flat sandals, from sling backs to gladiators there is no excuse for sore tootsies. If you need a bit of height then wedges are the way to go, sassy and super comfortable, the wedge is the only heel to be seen in this side of August bank holidays! The even weight distribution makes them much easier to sustain on hot days.
