While we love a bit of warm weather, rising temperatures are causing us some serious wardrobe dilemmas. For outfit inspo, we've looked to stylish streets of Copenhagen, where fashion week is currently underway - and also where one particular outfit solution is proving to be a favourite with guests. Super simple, the tank top and tailored trouser combo is a winning formula in our eyes - and here is all the proof you need.
Elsewhere, on Instagram, the sunshine season is calling for colour, floaty dresses, shorts, linen and comfy summer sandals. For an easy ready-made outfit, opt for a linen co-ord, our official uniform for the season ahead. There are plenty of ways to wear it, too. Team the matching set together or style separately (the bottoms with a simple white tee and swimwear, the top with your favourite maxi dress). See, the possibilities are (nearly) endless, making the two-piece ideal for holiday packing when luggage space is tight.
A basket bag will be your go-to summertime tote, ideal for lugging your laptop to the office but also great for carrying all those holiday essentials down to the beach (we know which we'd rather be doing). Heatwave-proof shoes can prove tricky, especially if you're after something practical. A pair of leather slides is great for all summer outfits, smarter than your usual poolside sliders but still good at letting in some welcome breeze. For days when you know you'll be running around, lightweight trainers will do the trick. Wear yours with easy, breezy summer midi dresses or cotton boxer shorts for an outfit that's cool in every sense.
