These long weekend outfit ideas have appeal …
White on white? If ever there was a time to do it, it’s a summer bank holiday. There’s a proliferation of white midi skirts right now (these ones have caught our eye), each one would be pretty perfect teamed with a pointelle knit top or a scoop-neck long sleeve tee.
We may not have a future-heirloom skirt-suit as part of our wardrobe artillery, but we can embrace the power of excellent accessories. An east-west bag and a pair of cap-toe heels in classic black add zhuzh to any weekend outfit, whether you’re hitting up a local wine bar or dining out with friends.
Since the news broke that Chanel has acquired the oldest French shirtmaker Charvet, we’ve been recontextualising the classic man’s button-down. Why not embrace embroidery as a way of breathing a feminine touch into a mannish classic? (Charvet was often frequented by Boy Capel, Gabrielle Chanel‘s lover.) Teamed with a shell necklace, it has a playful tone that’s perfect for a breezy, long weekend.
You’ve heard of the one-and-done summer dress that makes life infinitely easier but, for a moment, let’s extol the virtues of a kaftan in the city. (We’re highly aware of their value at the beach.) Teamed with kitten heels and the right accessories, the voluminous sleeves, luxe fabrication and bold length of a kaftan is exactly the kind of outfit drama we’re craving now.
