Summer shorts that will make you say goodbye to denim cut offs

Summer shorts are a style essential and every year I get asked by many clients for me to find them the perfect pair of shorts. Now we are spending more time at home they are a comfy go-to for around the garden. But this season they have had a chic make-over and it’s time to say goodbye to your denim cut-offs.

When thinking of summer shorts it’s easy to jump straight to short shorts; those denim cut-offs made de rigeur by celebrities at Glastonbury, think Kate Moss circa 2005 strutting through the festival fields. As we get older and trends move on, it’s time to move away from the bleached denim and hunter wellies look.

In the past few weeks since we hit some lovely Summer weather, all I have been searching for when shopping is shorts. I’m looking for shorts that look and feel every bit as laidback as denim, but are sophisticated enough to wear outside my house as well as at the beach. All my clients are looking for a cut that flatters your body too, with a longer length, looser cut and just the right amount of structure.

Best dresses to wear now

While we’ve spent most of the past few weeks enjoying the sunny weather, temperatures have been up and down. Now it seems they are set to return and now feels like the perfect time to start wearing dresses again. A step up from comfy tracksuits, leggings and activewear but easy to throw on and certainly more stylish even if you are just chilling on the sofa.

A good dress can be an instant mood boost for yourself, though we are staying at home it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be lifting our spirits with sunshine ready dresses. A summer dress is the ultimate wardrobe pick-me up. From mood-boosting colourful pieces to bold, tropical print designs, i’ve found the dresses that are endlessly stylish but so effortlessly easy to wear that you won’t feel like you’re overdoing it if you don one to wear in your garden.

Muscle vests are your new hottest tee

You only need one thing to look stylish this Summer and that’s a muscle vest (fyi that’s the term I have coined for them). Essentially it’s a tank top, a tee that has been cut off at the top of the arms, something that my 10 year old son has been wearing since he watched The Rock in the Jumanji movie. But this small item has grown in cult status over the past coming of weeks, originating from a New York store called The Frankie shop everytime they stock it, it immediately sells out.

Copies all over the high street are now online, it’s a relatively cheap purchase that can be worn with everything from jeans, to shorts, to skirts and trousers. Some come with shoulder pads and some without, stripes, different colours and no doubt prints will be continuing the trend through the summer months.

So bag yours now for an instant tee update for 2020.

The lockdown trend everyone is crazy for

The official quarantine uniform of lockdown 2020 has to be tie-dye!

Synonymous with the 1960’s, tie-dye will forever be associated with a free-spirited hippy lifestyle. In 2019 catwalk runways predicted the return of the blended brightly coloured print, but last year it didn’t make much of an impact, that is until lockdown happened in 2020. Tie dye has become the latest lockdown fashion winner.

There has been a massive trend towards people at home tie-dying their t-shirts, joggers, dresses and anything else they can get hold of. People are becoming obsessed with tie-dying their clothes that it’s become the hottest quarantine pastime. Search terms such as ‘DIY tie-dye’ and ‘tie-dye sweatshirt’ surged in popularity on Google and You Tube over the past couple of weeks. One of the positives of this trend is that people are upcycling clothes they already own without leaving the house.

Celebs such as Laura Whitmore have been showcasing their tie-dye wardrobes on Instagram. Other Instagram influencers have been using the pastime to get their kids involved whilst home schooling.
