Stick to the shadows as the sun emerges, keeping your cool with textural layers and dark wit
Brits spend nine month of the years fetishising summer and the other three pretending to enjoy it. From the first measly trickle of vitamin D in April to the moment we admit that the September breeze is, in fact, a freezing wind, we all but abandon our sartorial senses, scooping up LA-wannabe frocks in toothache pastels like children in a sweet (sweat) shop.
Thankfully, this season’s penchant for dark florals, contrasting textures and arty prints allows us to hold onto our style throughout the never-quite-sunny-enough months. Accents of wool and leather warm up casually tied silk. Graphic eyes contrast with sexy pre-bedraggled hair. Clashing layers turn the evening’s slip-of-a-dress into workday armour.
Fashion, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change – and the wisdom to make them look great.
