SUMMER HEATWAVE OUTFIT IDEAS
High-summer dressing needn’t be a drag with with these fool-proof looks for hot and humid weather. The Edit has you covered with smart casual looks for all occasions.
Modern monochrome
The fashion crowd can’t get enough of graphic dressing and it’s no wonder given that a limited colour palette makes summoning a put-together outfit on Monday mornings easier. Try smart separates in bold prints, like this embroidered blouse and loose-fit shorts. Want to know a secret? Proportion play is an easy way to get monochromatic dressing right – the fluid feel of this voluminous blouse adds lightness to belted shorts and chunky sandals. Complete the look with a roomy raffia tote to stow all your day-to-day essentials and more.
Jumpsuit for joy
It’s easy to get stuck in an office outfit rut during the warmest months when you want to be weather-appropriate but not look as though you are about to saunter into a beach bar. Enter our sleeveless jumpsuit, which features a structured fabric and fitted waist, perfect for teaming with slingback heels and smart sandals. As a rule of thumb: reserve flip flops for poolside settings only.
Office air conditioning can be icy so wear with a pure cotton cardigan or lightweight blazer for fool-proof layering.
Fashion favours the bold
There’s nothing we love wearing more than a showstopping dress on a summer day, especially one that’s cool, roomy and easy to wear. You’re guaranteed to pull an airy maxi dress out of your wardrobe time and time again, so why not up the ante in this unforgettable lime-green dress with ruched waist detail. It also comes in black for those who prefer a monochromatic look.
Made from pure sustainably sourced cotton with a flattering fitted waist and a tiered skirt, the dress comes in three lengths meaning you’ll achieve a perfect fit without requiring a trip to the tailor. Pair with black strappy sandals for maximum compliments – don’t say we didn’t warn you.
