Hooray for Bank Holiday fever. Sunny skies, mild (often hot!) temperatures and time off work has resulted in a feeling of end of term freedom. We’ve dusted down our holiday wardrobe and perfected that tricky combination of holiday clothes while not on holiday. In other words, the city-break wardrobe at home.
From colour-blocking and florals to tailored shorts
and light denim
, we’ve spotted the building blocks that hold the answer to a stylish downtime wardrobe. And although printed dresses and sandals
have made their summer comeback, ankle boots are easing the transition into bare leg territory. Put simply, bank holiday style is about creating a fabulous look as if you hadn’t tried at all. See our favourite looks from this weekend here...
