With summer in full swing, these outfits will help you get in the warm-weather mindset.
I don’t know about you, but summer is always the highlight of my year. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember that if the sandals don’t work due to rain, plenty of the below outfits work with boots.
There are looks for all of your summer plans, from elegant parties to afternoons in beer gardens. So without further ado, let us introduce you to the summer outfit ideas we’re already wearing for 2022, provided by some standout looks and supported by the shopping pieces you need to see.
