Every summer, our social calendars tend to fill up. And with this comes a multitude of dress codes and outfit choices to consider.

We’re here to help you find something for every kind of occasion – including work parties, family gatherings, beach picnics, afternoon drinks and Christmas get-togethers.

Here are our top summer fits for both men and women.

For Summer Events

With so many events coming up, you’ll need to start planning and updating your summer wardrobe.

Let’s start with what’s trending in women’s fashion. A brightly coloured midi dress is super versatile and can be easily dressed up or down, but will always look sophisticated. For classier get-togethers, simply grab a metallic clutch from and some nude heels.

Now for the men. Straight, lightweight slacks will naturally be trending these holidays, and for good reason. They’re comfy, dressy and classic. When it comes to what colour slacks, almost all shades of green are a safe bet this season.

Next, throw on a loose fitted shirt over the top for that effortless appeal.

For Summer Gatherings

Flowy outfits will not only be popular but essential for any upcoming outdoor gathering. And although neutral coloured items are always practical and in season, it’s really the pastel shades that have been gaining a lot of attention across the female fashion sector lately.

But if you’re not sure what to shop first, this lilac button-down mini dress does it all! Notice the cute blend-in belt and semi-puff sleeves? They’re the details that won’t be missed.

In terms of what’s on trend for men, stripes and unstructured throw-ons are a hit! But first, it makes sense to start with a basic white tee and some dark navy shorts. Then you can layer the tee with an eye-catching transitional weather piece.

For Casual Outings

Keep it cute and casual all-summer long with this go-to tee and short combos.

For women, it’s all about fun, matching print sets this season. Throw on a basic white tee underneath and the final look is sure to turn heads wherever you wander.

For men, we’re keeping this one relatively simple but effective. Pick up a pair of brown slides, some chino shorts and a light coloured tee that compliments the shorts. Oh, and one more thing – the all-important must-have summer accessory: a pair of dark shades.
