Wear abouts

In the city

• Think stuffy train to air-conditioned office to outside-the-pub drinks
• Basically, summer office days require very particular clothes
• Smart but cool. With light layers in case your “hot” desk is next to the air con vent

PICNICKING ALL DAY

• It’s sunny. You’ve got a lot of lemonade to get through. You want to be comfy
• Go for a summery jersey dress with a flash of twinkly jewellery (this is a classy picnic)
• And a versatile sweat jacket that’ll double as picnic blanket (if it isn't so classy after all)

In a field

• So you paid good money to stand around with thousands of others who also couldn’t really have a shower?
• You need the right outfit
• Team an embroidered shirt with mud-proof jeggings and a patchwork cross-body. For your dry shampoo if nothing else

Talking to long lost cousins

• You don’t want to stand out too much at a wedding
• Just enough so the champagne waiters spot you
• Choose a cotton dobby dress with a full skirt for swaying to the wedding band, plus church-ready sleeves. And add a soft cardi (in case you’re the last to leave)
