Absolutely perfect worn with skirts and Pants and anything that's high-waisted It just gives you that option that you Don't need to tuck everything in there's Also some beautiful relaxed fit sort of Boxy shaped tees which are absolutely Beautiful some gorgeous slim fit wool Tees which are great for this time of Year when the weather really hasn't Actually made up its mind and we haven't Really moved into that super hot weather And as I said there are plenty of linen Teas on offer as well which in my Opinion opinion always look very chic And elevated so don't discard The Humble Tea and the reason that they are on the Top of the list here too is because I've Just seen so many beautiful options on Offer and they are a perfect piece to Start building an outfit from now Following on from that I need to touch On linen as a whole there are some Gorgeous options in terms of linen Suiting I've seen some beautiful linen Trousers gorgeous linen Blazers now I Don't know about you but linen is often Presented in very earthy muted tones and Just Classics like you're black and White but this season I've noticed a Gorgeous selection of beautiful vibrant Colors and gorgeous linen suiting in Vibrant pinks and oranges and greens It's almost like linen is having a real Moment to absolutely shine I
Particularly love this vibrant orange Shortsuit when I saw it and as I said Earlier there are some gorgeous linen T-shirts beautiful bold greens and Colorful options there there's also even Some gorgeous pinstripe short sets and Beautiful linen Blazers so there really Is something for everyone obviously Linen's a natural fabric it's breathable It's going to see you through into the Summer months as well so it's very much A a good quality good wearable piece for This time of the year and as the weather Gets hotter also linen is absolutely Timeless so any of these pieces that you Buy now you will wear and wear for years To come and that's what I'm trying to Showcase in today's episode so it is all About investing in Basics and investing In them when they're trending makes it So much easier because it's just that There are so many more options around The next basic that's having a moment Right now and seems to be trending is The humble cardigan now I know that Cardigans divide you guys because when I've talked about them in the past some Of you love them some of you you really Don't like them at all but there are Plenty of ways that you can make a Cardigan look Chic and more Sophisticated than sort of frumpy and I Think that that's the key when it comes To Cardigans making sure that you don't
Sort of swamp yourself in too much Fabric now long line Cardigans are still Very much here but I do tend to think if You feel a little frumpy in a cardigan Then opt for one that is perhaps cropped Or a bolero style cardigan with a little Tie at the front there are options that Give you the ability to cover your arms Or give you a little bit of extra warmth But you can still still look Sophisticated and on Trend there are Even some beautiful short sleeve Collared Cardigans in interesting weaves And interesting knit detail and in my Opinion these are the ultimate pieces They can be worn buttoned up or worn Open as a cardigan for me it's all about That versatility looking at a new piece That I'm going to add to my wardrobe and Thinking about a number of ways that I Can wear it but when it comes to Cardigans this season everything goes From long line to Shorter to crop to Bolero boxy Styles you name it but it is About finding the piece that is right For you and one that actually fits your Lifestyle and as in the case of linen And t-shirts there are some beautiful Vibrant colors on offer as well okay I Have talked about trench coats quite a Bit here on my channel but they are Seriously having a huge moment right now And I wonder if you guys have dipped Your toe into the trench coat Trend it
Seems as though many of you are divided If if you have been following me here For a while you'll know that I recently Bought myself a trench coat and Absolutely love it I don't know why it's Taken me so long to jump on board this Trend I'm particularly loving the look Of them at the moment teamed with Activewear if you're heading to the gym And you just throw on a trench coat and A crossbody bag a baseball cap and you Look stylish but you're warm it's Practical in my opinion it's a really Good look and I think that's the value Of a good trench coat they are the Ultimate final layer regardless of what You're wearing underneath they'll pull Everything together and just make your Outfit look seamless and modern so think About a trench coat that you can invest In now and enjoy and wear for years to Come and this year there are some Gorgeous trenches in all sorts of Different shades from grayish to beige To taupe and there are also lots of Different lengths as well so there's the Shorter trenches the Super Maxi length Trenches so they're kind of is something Here for everyone so if you haven't Dipped your toe into the trench Trend Now is a perfect time to give it a try Now of course button-down shirts aren't Exactly a trend but they are very much Featuring at the moment in street style
Images and gorgeous magazine editorials A humble button-down shirt is a classic Now the great thing about this season is Like most other pieces they come in Beautiful Fabrics there are some Gorgeous linen shirts on offer some Beautiful colors so don't just think Your straight classic white button-down Shirt for spring summer there are some Beautiful vibrant pinks and oranges but If you're not into color you don't have To worry because there's also a gorgeous Array of neutrals and tans and just Those really basic colors as well I've Seen some beautiful pinstripe shirts and Also shirts with just interesting Details so slightly longer cuffs or Slightly cropped shirts which in my Opinion make for a really easy out Outfit so don't discard a classic shirt And it doesn't have to look corporate at All another Trend that I've noticed a Lot this year and it's very much a basic Is a slim belt now any outfit is going To immediately look elevated by adding a Belt and this season in particular there Are some gorgeous Slimline belts which In my opinion are much easier to wear One you don't feel restricted when You're wearing them they're just that Extra little piece or a little extra Detail that adds something special to Your outfit and sometimes a classic pair Of jeans or pants just need a little
Something to pull the outfit together And make it look finished but I have This beautiful Slimline belt that I've Just grabbed from Lily silk which I Absolutely love and the thing about a Belt like this is that it can be worn With jeans pants over dresses it can Help you cinch in a coat or a a jacket It's a great piece to have in your Lineup and I know a lot of you you are a Little bit scared of belts but these Slimmer belts are much much easier to Wear and as I said they just add that Final piece of polish to an outfit this Season another basic that is very much Trending is the maxi skirt now it seems As though anything goes of course we've Got denim Maxis that are very much Having a moment but not only the denim Maxis there are pleated skirts there are A-line they're a flared I love the fact That maxi skirts are so easy to wear They're comfy they're cool I often get Questions on this channel about petite Girls who feel a little bit sort of Overwhelmed by a maxi it's really just About choosing the right Maxi for you There are some gorgeous pencil Maxis as Well these may be a little bit of a Better option for you if you are petite Because there's less fabric to kind of Swallow you up but there really is a Maxi skirt that will work for everyone Now last but not least denim shirts are
Also having a moment now I think that's Very much because double denim is Trending it's a look that we are seeing Gaining momentum at the moment and a Denim shirt is a very easy way to Achieve this look the other great thing About a denim shirt is that it sort of Doubles as a jacket and lightweight Denim pieces or chambray shirts are Great for this they are lightweight they Cover your arms they give you that Little extra layer when you need it they Can also be tied around your waist worn Exactly in the same way that you would Wear a denim jacket but it's a spring Summer version the other tip that I have With denim shirts is to look in the Menswear Department menswear tend to Have really good options when it comes To denim shirts they're a better price And they definitely seem to have more Variety and different weights of denim Too so definitely think about denim Shirts they're a classic piece that as I Said you can wear numerous ways and They're perfect for spring summer anyway That's it from me today I hope you Enjoyed this one and if you did I would Love you to give it a big thumbs up Don't forget to subscribe to my channel For more and I'll catch you in the next One bye for now
