Your Perfect Late Summer Outfit: Enjoy the Season!
Summer's still in full swing, but autumn is just around the corner: that lovely time we call late summer! Now's your chance to mix and match the latest men's and women's fashion trends to your heart's content. What's in, what's a timeless classic, and how can you keep those first chills at bay? We've got the tips for your late summer look.
The Magic of Late Summer
Late summer is a special time of year: nature gets ready for autumn, the light turns golden, and the days grow shorter with a hint of a chill in the air. Welcome this magical transition with breezy looks that feature the first touches of autumn: colours like mocha, butter yellow, terracotta or sand are both warm and cool. Patterns like polka dots, florals or animal prints still celebrate the playfulness of summer, while already bringing in the fashion language of the season to come.
Late Summer Trends
Let’s go to Capri! Capri trousers for women – the classic close-fitting, three-quarter-length style – are making a big comeback. Swapping South of France romance for an urban power-style vibe, they're ready for anything. Pair them with slides, kitten heels and elegant blouses in earthy tones for the office, or team them with a baby t-shirt and trainers for a nineties revival look. We also can't get enough of the skater look – and it's for everyone! Baggy shorts, retro trainers and oversized shirts aren't just for teens. Simply pick one on-trend piece and mix it with more 'grown-up' silhouettes. For a particularly fashion-forward late summer outfit, try a jumpsuit in a classic safari colour, from olive to sand.
Light & Easy Layering
Before you start layering for autumn, you can get some practice in with your late-summer outfits. Light knit tops and Bermuda shorts will see you through a late-summer evening with the help of a cardigan. A summery maxi dress is perfect for a night out when paired with a denim jacket or blouson. Flip-flops and sandals are now making way for ballet flats and loafers – creating a stylish contrast with linen trousers or muslin outfits. Can't wait to get back into your denim? Wide-leg jeans are breathable, while denim shorts paired with boots make a real late-summer statement.
