Come rain or shine: Elegant style whatever the weather

As we head into the season of summer, wherein warmer weather will (hopefully) be adorned with rays of golden sunlight, let us not forget that the brisk, fresh weather of spring can still make an unexpected appearance. With this in mind, we bring some wardrobe fundamentals to ensure you have elegant style whatever the weather.

The brisk breezy day

Whilst brisk days are more common in the spring, the infamously unpredictable Great British weather can often dole out disappointingly cool and rainy summer days. So whether you are heading out for lunch or plan on strolling in the countryside, this silk scarf by Praechtig will help to keep the chill off your neck should the temperature be a little cool!  The versatile beluga colour means that the scarf can be teamed with countless outfits, too.

The last of the spring chill

Whilst the thick winter coat can be placed safely back in your wardrobe until the ice-breathed British winter descends upon us once more, a light coat comes in handy to keep the chill off when the briskness of spring lingers on – be it through rain clouds, brisk breezes or cool temperatures. This exquisite swing coat by Okishi, half lined in chiffon and featuring a delicate mother of pearl brooch fastening, is ideal for keeping you warm and dry in such scenarios.

The hazy summer day out

When summer gets into full swing and you can enjoy the great outdoors in pleasant hazy weather, comfort is important for making sure that you can relax and make the most of the day. This cotton denim pinafore jumpsuit by Mat Fashion will let your skin breathe due to its lightweight material, adjustable straps and elasticated rear, meaning that you can kick back and relax on your picnic rug in blissful comfort!

The beach-trip

When the weather permits a glorious sunny day, where better to spend it than at the beach! Choosing what to wear can be tricky: whilst you may not want to bare all in a bikini top and shorts, too much heavy material could make you feel uncomfortable. To keep cool, try this flowing chiffon kaftan style dress by Mat Fashion – the vivid colours are great for summer, too.

The dappled sun garden barbeque

As you socialise with friends under a sky of dappled blue and white waiting for the BBQ to get going, both comfort and style are important. This beautiful tunic by Nook, with its mottled sky colour, is ideal for staying comfy in style; the loose sleeves, flared shape and wide scoop neckline keep you cool, whilst the contemporary design will cause your friends to feel serious style-envy.

The post-sunset barbeque

With the evening sun setting behind the horizon as the gold-flecked sky yields to a starry-eyed twilight and the embers from the barbeque fade out, you’re going to be in need of an extra layer to keep you warm. This delicate linen pin jacket by Nuovo Borgo is just the right amount of evening cover-up, with the light and floaty fabric not being too heavy for a mild summer evening. What’s more, the versatile colour and subtle, elegant brooch means that you can wear the jacket again and again with multiple outfits, making it a perfect go-to for your summer wardrobe.

The summer evening soiree

As you plan a summer evening soiree of food and beverages with friends or family, you’re going to need a demure outfit for the occasion. This contemporary tunic by Yiannis Karitsiotis, with a delicate yet eye-catching pattern and semi-opaque fabric, is ideal for dressing to impress. The flowing material will help to keep you cool on humid evenings, whilst the drop shoulder design hangs elegantly for an effortlessly stylish finish.
