It’s the time of year when you look outside at the sun shining and begin to realise that your raincoats are redundant and your scarves are superfluous. But when you’re invited to a summer barbecue or a day-trip to the beach, or even if you’re lucky enough to book a holiday abroad, which summer fashions should you look out for?
For dips in the pool or trips to the beach, there is a huge selection of summer swimwear available. If you’re looking for quirky, patterned shorts, Topman’s ‘The Swim Project’ captures their typically alternative designs, offering a range of styles from floral patterns to real photo images. If outlandish styles aren’t for you, then Topman – amongst other high-street shops – offer simplistic, stylish alternatives that are available at reasonable prices.
If you’re looking to smarten up the beach-short look then tailored, chino shorts are an ideal choice. They’re available in an array of colours, styles and brands etc., so filtering tools on websites such as ASOS should be used to meet your summer specifications. From high-end brands to styles that suit the student budget, ASOS has something for everybody, and if you’re worried about ordering online, they offer a hassle-free returns policy , in case you decide you’ve made a fashion faux pas or overestimate the size of your limbs.
Espadrilles are an excellent alternative to the flip-flop. Two pairs can be purchased for just £20 at Office, allowing you to mix and match with their collection of patterns and bright colours, that complement any summer outfit. If you’re looking for a slightly different style, then go for a higher price – Toms are renowned for their comfort. Furthermore, Toms promise to give a pair of shoes to a child in need with every purchase and, as of September 2010, had given away over one million pairs to countries ranging from Argentina to China. If you’ve got an eye for a bargain then Office is ideal, but if you’re feeling ethical and want guaranteed comfort then Toms is for you!
There are so many options to look out for, summer good, summer bad, so it’s important to shop around to find the best deals available!
