This week it’s all about classy underwear and sharp suits, with a bit of festival scruffiness thrown in for good measure. Let’s do things differently and begin with the finishing touches to any elegant look:
These vintage briefs are possibly the classiest pants I’ve ever seen. Nude underwear is always a must when wearing white summer dresses, even though skin-coloured briefs can make you feel a bit like an old lady. But who could possibly feel frumpy in these gorgeous La Perlas?
Even though these shoes would match with very little, I am so in love with tribal prints right now. It’s always difficult to find shoes that sparkle without being a little tacky but these heels get it just right, and they’re a perfect excuse to recycle the slinky LBD you thought you’d only wear once..
If, unlike me, you’re headed to a festival this summer (sniff), these are perfect. They’re vintage so they’re already a bit worn and it won’t matter if they get a bit scuffed up. They can look really summery if you wear them with flip flops and sunglasses, but with thick woollen tights and a cardigan they’re also perfect for whatever blizzards and hurricanes we’re inevitably going to have this ‘summer’.
Forget the LBD, this LRD is my new wardrobe essential! As well as being elegant and super flattering, it’s so versatile- it can be worn with a black cardigan, black tights and Mary Janes for summer internships or with bare legs and heels for nights out.
Does any guy not look good in a suit? This one is very Don Draper-esque and it’s an absolute classic. Even though it’s a bit late for the summer ball, I have always firmly believed that guys do not need an excuse to suit up. Plus – buy one while you can and recieve a free tie or dicky-bow! Top idea.
