What to wear in summer: 10 images for work and leisure

WE ARE UNSTANTLY FOLLOWED for new trends, but many of them cause a lot of questions: how it is suitable for life? How and with what to wear crop tops, hairy sneakers, plush jackets and transparent everything? Fortunately, summer is one of the few seasons when you can decide on even the most courageous combinations. For those who do not plan to be limited to a universal set of "jeans plus T-shirt", we have chosen ten convenient and non-dull images for work and leisure in the city, outside or on the coast.

Bright dress and outerwear in tone

Monochrome outfits are a noticeable trend of this summer. Victoria Beckham showed one of the best solutions, adding a light coat of the same color to the loose yellow dress with buttons. The combination of carrot-red with scarlet or saturated blue with muted aquamarine can also be interesting - the two parts of the kit do not necessarily have to be the same shade. So that the image does not seem deliberately thought out, think about the contrasting details: comfortable slippers of neutral colors, a light bag or colored sunglasses.

Oversized dress and jacket

Floor-length dresses in the new season pressed mini and midi versions. It is necessary to wear them with voluminous jackets in the best traditions of power dressing, military jackets and shirts with an emphasis on the waist. Having added an image sandals on a flat sole and a capacious bag, you can safely go on a tour of the main attractions of the city.

Light suit and espadrilles

Cream, egg and ivory hues are a little inferior to pink and yellow in this season. Unlike the latter, it is not difficult to adapt such a color for a casual look. Designers especially liked the combination of a light trouser suit with espadrilles: the best example is an image from the T collection by T. Alexander Wang. You can quote it literally: in a free jacket and trousers it is convenient to move around the city by bicycle (a good way to quickly see the main sights), and an unusual bag easily turns the image into an evening one.

Striped dress and cap

A striped dress — a piece of clothing that is most associated with summer — easily acquires a new reading paired with a perky cap, as in Balenciaga shows. A bright visor protects from direct sunlight (however, it’s better not to forget about the cream with SPF) on the beach and in the city, and in case of an unexpected change in the weather, you can put a trench coat or a bomber jacket on top of the dress.

Midi skirt with a bomber jacket and shoes with a steady heel

The combination of elements of working uniforms, things in street style and items of business dress code surprise no one today. Such styling can be found even in the collections of "strict" luxury brands like Balenciaga, Céline or Victoria Beckham. Repeating this image is easy, the main thing is to remember the harmony of volume and color. The oversize bomber can be trimmed with a narrow skirt with frills, and you can add color with bright shoes or a print on the skirt.

Transparent windbreaker and bright jumpsuit

The jumpsuit can rightfully be considered the main summer purchase. An extended version with full-length trousers is appropriate even in the office, and for outdoor activities it is much better suited than a dress. This summer, we advise you to choose free models of bright color or with an unusual print. Such a jumpsuit can be worn like in a Stella Jean lookbook - with a transparent raincoat, a pair of catchy cat eyes and a roomy bag.

Bermuda Shorts & Sweatshirt

One more laconic and convenient combination of basic things - short Bermuda and a bright sweatshirt - will appeal to those who are planning a holiday actively: storming the mountainside, making their way through the orange groves or walking the fifteenth kilometer in the center of Rome. Concise sandals, a belt bag or a roomy backpack will suit this look.

Knit suit and mules

It seems that combinations are more convenient than knit suits, designers have not yet invented. So consider the founders of the brand Creatures of Comfort, who advise wearing a soft top and ribbed trousers in the city, at work and on vacation. Are you afraid to look at home? Choose shoes with a small heel, and over a suit, put on a windbreaker with a camouflage print.

Cropped jeans and knit top

Another one is the most comfortable and simple combination, which many designers remembered in the new season, from Sea to Elizabeth and James. Knitting may be large or small, and may even be present in the form of individual elements, but we advise you to stay on a monophonic top with a laconic cut. It will be interesting to look the top and bottom of similar shades, but different textures. Or play on the contrast by selecting large accessories.

Dress below the knee and pants flared

Do not overlook the easiest possible way for outdoor activities - loose pants with a dress-shirt. All the more so many designers turned to this combination in the spring. We like the version of the brand Osman - a flower dress with an emphasis on the waist and short “pipes”. If a similar image seems too bold, pay attention to a plain dress shirt made of thick cotton and flared trousers.
