Summer might be in full swing but the sun in the UK definitely isn’t shining. As we navigate the unpredictable British weather, let’s style some outfits to help you make the most of it. Whether it’s rain or shine these outfits are perfect for layering so your outfit will be perfect whatever the weather.

Chic Summer Style

For a chic but still practical look start with the Balmain striped dress. This piece is the perfect foundation to either wear on its own, or to layer up. Pair it with this stunning Chanel knit cardigan for those colder summer evenings and a pair of white Ganni kitten heels - the bows on the back add a cute feminine touch. Accessorise with a classic Chanel in navy and tie the gold hardware into the look with some earrings. This outfit has the perfect summer colour palette, and is super easy to style up or down depending on the occasion.

Bold but Casual Menswear

If you’re looking for a relaxed yet bold look, this one's for you. Start with this yellow pinstripe Valntino Shirt to tie in the trending colour of the summer season. Pair it with these Saint Laurent straight leg jeans for a casual look - or if the sun is shining this could work great with jean shorts too! The look can be pulled together with some Prada high tops, a classic piece that is super versatile. Finally, keep all your essentials in a Louis Vuitton 25 Speedy, including your Chanel sunglasses for bursts of sunshine or a rain coat for wet weather, the perfect mix of style and practicality.
