We Brits love to talk about the weather. Be it a heatwave or a thunderstorm, we’ll have something to say (read: complain) about it. But in all seriousness, the unpredictable weather can play havoc with our outfit choices. And there’s no trickier time than the present. Summer weeks are limited, and autumn is on the horizon, so it’s constant toss-up between which season to dress for. While our hearts are saying stick to linen, our heads (and most probably the forecast) is telling us to start thinking about layers.
It’s all about being clever with the way you dress, and in our opinion, taking note from others is the most faff-free option. So, whether you imitate Marilyn and wear your summer shorts with knee-high boots, or you take note from Chrissy and embrace the trench-coat with all weather loafers, these are the 6 uncomplicated outfits that’ll save you time when you get ready in the mornings.
