How to create stylish summer outfits

Use this secret formula that never fails

Welcome to my style blog for women over 35 who want to look modern, stylish and confident. That includes me too!

After a very hectic few weeks, I’m feeling refreshed after a few days away on the South Coast. I spent the whole time in one pair of shorts on account of packing for chilly weather only to be faced with hot and sunny days!

The seasons change slowly but the pace of the change in weather is startlingly quick – a two hour drive in my case! The sudden change to hot weather will leave many of you unprepared and wondering what to wear or, like me, wearing the same outfit on repeat.

If you’re struggling to create outfits for Summer, I have an easy to follow formula to help you. It never fails to look stylish, modern and well, ‘summery’ and what’s more it can be created with styles you already own.

The easy formula to create stylish summer outfits

Neutral trousers + bright top + neutral accessories = Stylish Summer Outfit

Here’s how it works:

Take any styles of neutral trousers that suit you , wide leg linen trousers or cargos would be great, and team them with a brightly coloured top. Complete the outfit with tonal neutral accessories. It’s that straight forward!

But here’s the secret. You need to ensure that the neutrals DON’T match.

I’ve collected some examples of outfits below to show you how. You can see from the images that there are lots of different ways to do this but they all share the key ingredients of tonal but not matching neutrals.

Neutral trousers and bright tops

Any style of trousers will work but because Linen trousers are smart, stylish and cool in the heat, I’ve put together 3 of my favourite styles below to help you:

Cos, khaki and linen mix trousers

Mango, straight leg linen blend trousers

Whistles, pleat linen trousers
