Who doesn’t love summer? The nation’s favourite time of year, us weather obsessed Brit’s can’t get enough of sunshine and barbecues. It’s the time of year we come out of our shells and suddenly become jolly and chatty – this is not usually within our nature. The dry weather and long days open our eyes to adventure – there is in fact life and time after office hours! We try to cram in as much as we can into the summer months to ensure that we utilise that sunshine and tick everything off our summer bucket list.

So, we can finally get our pasty pins out and give them a little vitamin D loving, all we need now is the perfect shoes. Whether you’re staying local or travelling abroad, a fashionable new summer wardrobe will help give you that holiday feeling. And where better to start than the summer sales. Be practical when you think about what to buy, remembering specific activities you want to do this summer, as well as considering comfort.

Perhaps you’re a beach bum, and you’ll be spending the majority of your summer sun worshipping. Maybe you’re super active and for you the summer is about bike rides and and hikes in the forest. Maybe you’re hiring the festivals this year, or taking the kids camping. Or you might be more of a homebody, so you’ll need bits for dashing in and out with friends and family, and pottering in your garden. Whatever kind of person you are, we can help.

Here are four very different outfit ideas for summer days:

• For everyday summer wear, shorts, an oversized tee and converse to complete the look. Practical as well as on trend, you’ll be able to get jobs done, play sport whilst looking and feeling great. Plus, the converse options are seriously endless, whether you choose the classic black high-top, or you dare to go for glitter or neon? Converse are more than just shoes; they define you, so look out for a converse sale and grab yourself a bargain.
• On holiday you’ll need a classy beach bag, equipped with sunglasses to suit you, and if you’re brave, a statement hat.
• It’s time to throw your tired swimsuits out, a beautiful new bikini is essential for days by the pool. Let’s not forget the importance of a cute cover up, flip flops and well pedicured feet!
• Summer dresses and floaty skirts paired up with sandal style wedges and a bright and bold clutch bag make for the perfect summer date night outfit. Add some jewels for a little extra sparkle and you’ll knock ’em dead.

There’s nothing worse than having a special photo taken with a loved one, but hating it because you’re wearing something old and frumpy. Or worse, bumping into somebody you know when you’re wearing sweatpants and no bra. No we didn’t find out your secret, it’s happened to us all! Have a blast this summer and love every outfit you wear. You’ll walk the streets with confidence like you’ve never had before!
