What to wear this summer – boys and girls

The UK is a nation of contrasts – especially when it comes to the weather. And it is so

notoriously unpredictable, that it has become something of a national obsession.


It’s almost certain that no other nation talks about the weather nearly as much

as we do. Its volatile nature means that it has such a huge impact on our lives,

determining our mood, whether certain events are successful and what clothes we

wear.


Throughout the winter months, the freezing temperatures and long, dark nights

make staying warm the priority. Trousers, tights, jumpers, hats, scarves and gloves –

we need the whole works to keep warm.


But when the weather takes a turn for the better – as it has done over the last

month – it becomes a totally different ball game. Whereas the winter is about

practical clothes, the warmer weather gives us the chance to dress down, relax and

enjoy what we’re wearing.


Summer is here


Your summer wardrobe should be all about lightweight, flexible and stylish clothes.

Bright clothes and big patterns are definitely in. Dressing for the summer is all about

making an impression. Read on for a rundown of what you might need:


Starting from the bottom, you’ll need at least one pair of flip-flops, pumps or sandals

(although espadrilles will do just as well). These types of summer shoe are relatively

cheap, so mix it up with a few pairs in different colours. For guys, flip-flops and

canvas trainers are ideal. Sandals can work, but try a more modern style to avoid

looking dated.


Let’s see those arms and legs


1. Moving upwards, you’ll need a few skirts and some shorts. Denim is always

fashionable and works with most styles. Try a pair of Voi jeans cropped shorts

for a stylish alternative to shorter denim varieties. For guys, there are the

ever-reliable khaki/combat shorts, as well as chinos for a slightly smarter

look. If you don’t fancy getting your legs out, Voi make some really nice

loose-fitting jeans that are perfect for hot days.


Up top, it’s all about getting your arms out in the sun. T-shirts, vests and light

summer shirts – with sleeves rolled up, of course – are what summer is all about.

Last, but not least, is the ultimate summer accessory – a pair of fashionable

sunglasses to complete the look. So, now you’re all ready for summer, let’s hope

summer is ready for you.
