Summer Days and Nights


One thing I love about summer is the hot weather, and how versatile clothing can be. On hot days, you can wear shorts or a dress, then when the sun sets and there’s a slight chill in the air when you’re going out, throw on a lightweight cardigan, blazer or cropped jacket and you’ve got a chic outfit for evening.

Here are a few tips for taking any summer outfit from day to night.

I love shorts for summer. There are so many choices out there, and with the right additions you can easily take them from day to night.

Jean shorts. Casual and one of my favourite summer pieces. Taking them from day to night is easy,

You can pair them with a silk blouse like below, cropped black jacket, silver pumps or sandals and black clutch. Accessorize with gold bracelets and rings.

Or, you can pair them with a simple t-shirt, grey blazer, statement necklace, neutral sandals or heel and bold clutch.

Linen shorts are cool and comfy. Style white ones with a graphic or printed tank like below and a blazer, grey sandals and gold clutch. Accessorize with some silver rings.

Short dresses that can go from day to night make summer easy. Pair a navy ruffled one like below with a black cropped blazer, metallic wedges or black flats and black cross body bag. Accessorize with gold bracelets and small earrings.

Maxi dresses for summer are key. Comfy and easy to wear. Take a two-toned printed one like below and pair with a cream cardigan, gold sandals or brown wedges and a blue clutch. Accessorize with a silver necklace and rings.

As you can see, taking summer staples from day to night is easy and can be fun, plus takes the hassle out of not knowing what to wear when it's last minute. All you need are the right additions and you're ready to go!
