The key to summer chic ? Take one dress & add accessories! #easyeffortless #Luxetoless
Summer in the city?
Maybe a holiday away to the beach?
Everybody keep calm!
Your wardrobe should be relaxed, easy and effortless.
That can means only one thing…
- A simple dress.
- slipping into sandals.
- Grabbing a big tote and pulling on your favourite sunglasses. Done.
The key?
Sticking to summery fresh white and chic brown. Add a dash of taupe and a dollop of stripe. It doesn’t get an easier than that.
Styling tips:
The dress:
Make sure it’s over the knee or longer. It should be roomy and loose and completely unstructured. Cutaway shoulders are flattering on anyone and a ruffle or a tier won’t go astray. Love a shirt dress or a tank.
The Sandals:
Chunky dad sandals or Birkenstocks are the way to go in taupe or white. Love these sandals from Seed (so similar to Vince). If that’s way too fugly for you then go for flat toe thongs or white sneakers. Anything that slips on – that doesn’t lacing up- makes me happy.
The Bag:
A roomy two handle straw tote is practical and chic. It adds texture and colour to your outfit. Love a white trim raffia basket from Loewe. I bought this fabulous french market basket which is so similar. Love a stripe tote, especially this mini bucket from Kule . And Baggu always have amazing affordable cotton canvas totes in every colour…Shop more straw baskets here.
The sunglasses:
You want big and dramatic. Something that makes a statement. After all that’s what people are looking at: your face. Invest in a brown lens so it works back with your neutral wardrobe. Note: if you do throw on black sunglasses then link them back to black sandals or black dress. Aviators or white cats eyes always add that extra joosh!
