Welcome back to another episode of ‘How to Dress For a UK Summer’, where it’s too cool for stripping off and too humid for lots of layers. It’s been a confusing couple of months, hasn’t it? One day it’s a heatwave, the next it’s a downpour. Even in July, the weather remains unpredictable, so if you haven’t been fortunate enough to book a sunny getaway quite yet, let’s discuss the great British wardrobe.
Choosing to celebrate the fact that we still have a couple of summer months to go, we’re still mostly in a warm-weather mindset. It’s good to be optimistic, right? But depending on where in the United Kingdom you’re located, right now it’s probably somewhere between 16 and 23 degrees outside. So, not super balmy. With this in mind, it makes sense to put together a capsule of items that you can mix and match with ease, and tailor to changes in temperature. And as a bonus, the ones I have in mind will cut your getting ready time in half. If not by a third. That’s right, I’m confident that after many years of mis-judging the weather I’ve finally come up with the formula to an easy outfit that always looks chic (and can be assembled in less than ten minutes).
It’s likely you’ll already own many of the major components, and with some minor adjustments, you make the most out of a simple blazer, style up a pair of jeans, or settle into comfy linen. Sound good? Keep scrolling for 5 stylish outfit ideas that will make your mornings a lot less stressful. Check them out now, and thank me later.
