Every year, trailing in the wake of the Summer Season with its abundance of weddings, oh-so-British sporting events and alfresco parties (tea or otherwise), are a long line of wardrobe misdemeanours.
However, by adroitly side-stepping any thoughts of single colour or overly matching outfits, it is possible to retain the required degree of decorum whilst still retaining a fashion edge. An abstract cotton shift dress by Danish designer Stine Goya teamed with a linen mix boyfriend blazer is perfect for a summer wedding whereas cult New York label A Détacher’s abstract plaid silk dress and strappy wedges will keep you cool at even the hottest of barbecues.
