Outfit | Summer Basics


It's been crazy hot across the UK for a couple of weeks but I'm reluctantly giving the shorts a rest this weekend; main reason being they're all in the wash! Since picking up this navy button-down in Orlando it's quickly became my most worn shirt - it's made from seersucker so it's the perfect lightweight material for keeping cool. I've been wearing it with khaki shorts mostly but for the weekend I went with selvedge Levi's 511, along with a fresh white tee by White T-Shirt Co., adidas Stan Smith + my new repro Brooklyn Bushwick Ebbets cap, which Coggles sent over, as part of our collab. Perfect summer look for the cooler days.

Wearing - J.Crew Seersucker Shirt | T-Shirt c/o White T-Shrt Co. | Levi's 511 | adidas Stan Smith c/o JD | CHUP socks (thanks Dan) | Ebbets Field Flannel Baseball Cap c/o Coggles

Hollie Wears -  COS Dress | H&M Leggings | Longchamp Bag | Vans x The Beatles Trainers | Earrings Unknown

We received some lovely comments regarding Hollie's appearance on the blog so I asked her if she wouldn't mind making it a regular thing! As soon as she saw these Vans x The Beatles trainers she had to add them to here growing collection. Worn with a simple dress from COS to make the sneaks really stand out.

What about you? I'd love to hear some of your Summer Essentials, and advice for staying cool?

Thank you for visiting,

  1. Oh man, you guys are such a stylish and cool couple! I can easily see how that shirt quickly became your favourite, and I'm adoring Hollie's shoes and dress. I myself feel blessed with air-conditioning at work this summer, I'm not so good with heat. :p

  6. Holly is such a BABE!! I am so digging your socks too. I cant wait for summer, im quite taken with khaki shorts and am on the hunt for some that are cool and loose without being too masculine. Like a 'boyfriend jean trend' version of khaki shorts

  7. I like the colour of your shirt! Great to see Hollie here again :-) I would say my summer essential is a shawl maybe, using it to protect my shoulders at midday and keeping me warm at the night time as I get cold easily.

    I like the colour of your shirt! It is great to see Hollie here again, her hair is fantastic. I would say my summer essential is a shawl, using it to protect my shoulders at midday and keeping me warm at the night time as I get cold easily.
