What To Wear If You Hate Summer Clothes

Everyone loves summer; leaving work when it's still light, drinking rosé wine in pub gardens and eating ice cream at any time of day. What some people don't love, however, are summer clothes; namely floral prints, flesh-baring tops and bright colours.

So if your go-to uniform is head-to-toe black, or the thought of baring your midriff gives you nightmares, we've found the perfect wardrobe solutions to help you stay cool but look chic all summer long.

Look for lightweight fabrics

The key to staying cool without revealing any flesh is choosing loose fit pieces such as cotton shirts and peasant style dresses. If your trusty denim is proving far too sweaty (sorry) try wide leg culottes.

Flash a cold shoulder

This season’s ‘it’ item, the off-the-shoulder blouse, is ideal from embracing a summer vibe without exposing much skin.

Swap all black for all white

If your go-to outfit formula is based solely around black pieces why not switch it up for white. We love Alexa’s Daz white ensemble, it screams summer (without a tropical print in site).

Accessories are your best friend

If you hate summer clothes with a passion it might be better to just stick to accessories. Think chunky espadrilles, cat eye sunnies or an oversized sunhat.

Think beyond florals

Try gingham or stripes if you’re looking for a less twee alternative to the fashion's favourite summer print, florals.
