At last, the Spring Bank Holiday is upon us, and in some fortuitous act of fate, the temperature is set to cascade across the 30°C mark for the entire long weekend. The rising mercury can only mean the following: you’ve secured your timeslot at the Hampstead Heath ponds to take a brisk dip, have confirmed plans with your girlfriends to sip pét nat at your chic local wine bar and are currently planning a heatwave-approved summer capsule wardrobe to see you through all your sets of plans.

Given the balmy weather conditions, clothing yourself in anything heavy, stiff or cumbersome is not an option. Whilst we’ll make allowances for a fine-knit cardigan or slightly sheer jumper, any pair of rigid denim jeans or functional boots must be overlooked for summer staples that are airy, lightweight and fluid.

Indeed, the scorching climate is a rarity here in the United Kingdom, so you must ensure to take full advantage of it by wearing wispy white maxi skirts, shoulder-baring tank-tops, blissful peasant tops and all the floaty dresses that your heart desires. Now, given that this is our first real foray into summer, we can understand some apprehension in deciding what to wear. For most, this might be the first time you’ve slipped back into your wafty minis and denim shorts since last year, which inevitably leads to the same old questions of “what to wear?”
