Many style habitués, myself included, feel a sense of dread when summer time rolls around. I am a fan of winter fashion. Boots, hats, coats, scarves, mittens, jumpers, cardigans, coats; the more layers the better as far as I'm concerned. I'll spend October to February looking like a washing basket come to life. I also like a basic palette of neutrals, mainly black, white and navy, but as soon as it's is sunny I feel somehow obliged to push the black to the back of my wardrobe. Then I embark on a crazed shopping quest which sees me purchasing florals, caftans, bizarre floppy hats, and anything (and I mean ANYTHING) with a remotely "boho" theme.
Come September I realise I've wasted £££s on clothes I will never want to wear again and spent the past few months looking like a Woodstock reject. A much more sustainable attitude to summer dressing is required. This time around I will be avoiding the shops and attempting to wear my winter basics throughout the hotter months, but style them differently in the name of weather appropriateness.
Here is some inspiration for how you can work your black pieces between May and August.
