August is slowly easing into late summer. The days are still wonderfully sunny, but the moment the sun dips behind the trees, you can feel it: that cool evening breeze – hello, goosebumps! Thankfully, the season for garden parties, barbecues and long chats under fairy lights is far from over!
The solution? Layering! Cleverly combine light, airy pieces with stylish layers for later in the evening. Not only will you be ready for any moment of the day, but you'll also look effortlessly fabulous.
? DAYTIME: LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE
Start your party in style with a flowy dress in a breathable cotton fabric or linen blend. Pair with sandals, sunglasses and a cheerful scarf in your hair for an instant summer vibe. Prefer trousers? Go for culottes with a cropped top – cool, comfy, and elegant.
? GOLDEN HOUR: TIME TO LAYER UP
As the sun begins to set, it is your time to shine with layers! Think of a light kimono, an oversized shirt, or a knitted vest over your dress. Play with fabrics, textures and prints and make everyone jealous with your cosy and stylish layered look.
Pro tip: bring a bandana or scarf with you. Wear it around your neck during the day or as an accessory in your hair, and drape it around your shoulders in the evening when it gets cooler. You are welcome!
? LATE NIGHT: COSY & CHIC
As the fairy lights flicker on and the marshmallows start roasting on the barbecue, you don't want to be shivering in a summer dress. This is when the comfy extra-long jumper, soft cardigan, or stylish blazer makes its entrance. Pair it with jeans to stay warm without compromising on style. Or make an impression with a handmade long-sleeved jumpsuit in a playful print that's both festive and cosy.
READY TO GET STARTED?
Our tip: create a mini capsule wardrobe with layering pieces that mix and match easily with your existing wardrobe. That way, you will be ready for every garden party, from brunch to bonfire. Let the summer vibes roll!
