Stylish Summer Days

Summer is not one dress code. A beach afternoon, a garden party and an evening out share a temperature and almost nothing else.

Playing this as a wardrobe rather than as separate outfits is what makes it interesting. Pick pieces that can be repeated across days in different combinations, and suddenly the versatile items are worth more than the striking ones. That is a real shift in how you choose, and it is closer to how anybody actually dresses for a season.

There is a wedding in the mix, which is the one occasion that will not tolerate improvisation.
