5 cute summer wardrobe staples to wear this summer

At long last, the Spring Bank Holiday is here, and in some freak act of fate, temperatures are set to exceed 30°C for the entire long weekend. The rising mercury can only mean the following: you’ve reserved your time for a quick dip in the Hampstead Heath ponds, you’ve confirmed plans with your girlfriends to drink Pat Nat at your favorite local wine bar and you’re currently planning a heatwave-approved summer capsule wardrobe for all your set plans.

Given the pleasant weather conditions, carrying yourself with any heavy, stiff or cumbersome clothes is not an option. While we’ll make allowances for a fine-knit cardigan or slightly sheer jumper, any pair of rigid denim jeans or functional boots should be overlooked for summer staples that are airy, light and fluid.

In fact, the scorching climate is rare in the United Kingdom, so you should be sure to take full advantage of it by wearing white maxi skirts, shoulder-removed tank-tops, delightful farmer tops and all the floaty dresses your heart desires. Now, considering that this is our first real foray into summer, we can understand some of the apprehension in deciding what to wear. For most people, this may be the first time that you’re back in your wafty minis and denim shorts since last year, which inevitably leads to the question of “what to wear?” Which leads to the same old questions.
