Great Outfits for Summer

...super simple content.

I desperately needed to create something light this week…

…and so I present to you, a meandering and leisurely wander through my wardrobe. Come with me as I hop from one favourite to another. I’ll share my thoughts and we can drum up some happy, Summer-scented outfit inspo.

The new Parma Violet corduroy… a 10/10 fabric and colour way.

I’ve worn this outfit (above) everyday since I took the Dungas home. It’s literally all I want to pull on. This shade of cord feels somehow 70s and also timeless. Soft and delicate and yet also vibrant. The fabric is such a statement that you can pull on whichever garment [in this fabric] takes your preference with nothing more than a vest and trainers and feel great.

Side note: The Everyday Bag with Dumpling (used in tandem- small, loose items in Dumpling, which then goes with everything else into the main Everyday Bag) is a game changing combo for day to day.

If you wanted to get a teeny bit creative, a patterned/clashy blouse thrown over the top gives you a little more something something without having to put too much effort in- let the delicious colour combos do all the heavy lifting.

I’ve been wanting to play with the Birthday Bottoms for a few weeks now.

I’ve a couple of nice dinner dates on the horizon and these are the trousers at the top of my outfit wish list:

Here, I sandwiched sheer voile between layers of black velvet and went for waistcoat/blazer and classic, dressy pumps. I enjoy the contrast between oversized/masculine/sumptuous tailoring and the fizzy frivolity of a semi-sheer, crinkle-bottomed trouser.

Let’s do some more playing about, this time with proportions:

Mini dress/tunic over Stalf Wide Trousers is my recipe for the summer, methinks.

It really doesn’t matter if said Wide Trousers are sheer (as in this case) either, since the tunic-length top/oversized blazer gives great bum coverage.

Do you have a Stalf co-ord yet?

They are a great go-to for ease and simplicity. In this case, I selected a combo I’ve not yet worn together: Flutter Dress and Wide Trousers in Liquorice Check. If you’re keen for this combo, it’s past season and so will be a custom Stalf Dreams jobby, simply fill out the form on the site or send me over an email to customerservice@stalf.co.uk

More tunic-meets-wide-trousers content. I’m obsessed with this combo. White linen trousers dressed up for evening are an unexpected delight, IMO.

Mum chastised me for not ironing them for these photos, but I sit firmly in the a-little-crumple-never-hurt-anyone camp on this front.

I paired with a cape mini dress and heels. This is my swish dinner date outfit number 2.

For daytime, the tunic with Wide Trousers combo could look like this:
