Believe it or not, summer is coming. Despite the fact that it’s still cold and dreary outside, the fashion world is starting to fill the stores with these seasons’ spring and summer clothing. Use the time you’re trapped inside from an unseasonal hailstorm to plan what your new favourite SS13 outfit will be.

As always, new trends can be hard to get your head around. Here’s a quick and easy guide to some of the best looks you’ll be rocking once the sun finally comes out to play.

Easy Romance – Day Wear

There are always certain cuts and patterns that are popular in the summer months. A light, romantic style will never go out of fashion while you’re having fun in the sun.

 

 

Flower Crochet Detail Shirt, Topshop

This lightweight, sleeveless shirt will help hide a multitude of post-winter sins while allowing your arms to breathe in the warmer weather. The floral detailing is subtle, and the material make the shirt look a little more expensive that it actually is.

 

Blue Supersoft Skinny Jeans, New Look

These ‘supersoft’ jeans are much more lightweight than the thick alternative, making them the perfect trousers to wear in warmer months. The light blue colour is great for this time of year, and will complement the Topshop shirt perfectly. 

 

 

Cotton Pimple Riding Gloves, Equestrian Clearance

These gloves are a cheap and easy way to add a little personality to the look. They’re made from light cotton material meaning you won’t get too warm in them, and thanks to the range of colours available (and the low price) you can buy a few pairs to match different outfits.

 

Spotty Dotty: Evening Wear

Your night time outfits, whether you’re just having a few drinks with a couple of friends or painting the town red, needs to find the perfect balance between warm weather appropriate fashion and a night time edge.

 

Double Spot Flippy Dress, Topshop

This dress is cut in a classic summer dress style, and the white colouring makes it perfect for light evenings. The black spots add an edge to the otherwise simple dress meaning it’s great for wearing when those “few pints down the pub” in the evening turns into an all-nighter at a club.

 

Ariat Monaco Lace Jodphur Boots, Equestrian Clearance

These leather boots may be a little heavy for day wear in the summer,  but they’re perfect for adding a masculine edge to an otherwise feminine outfit. Adrodgyny continues to be a popular trend in SS13 so these boots are a must-have edition to team with girly dresses and skinny jeans.

 

Limited Pink Gold Thick Chain Necklace, New Look

This rose pink necklace works on the ‘street style’ which is set to be huge in SS13 whilst maintaining a feminine edge thanks to the delicate colouring. Adding a statement necklace to any outfit helps turn it from drab into fab, and this necklace will work well with plenty of different outfits.
