Summer fashion

Hi everyone!
I don't know about my readers outside of the UK, but here the weather is LOVELY!
Of course when the weather gets hotter, you want to wear lighter, more breathable clothes but still look fashionable. So here's my top summer fashion picks to keep you looking stylish but still making sure you're comfortable in the summer sun.

(DISCLAMER- these photos are not my own)

SHORTS
Obviously these are a summer staple. This summer there are so many different styles from loads of high-street shops; from studs and tie-dye to high waisted and distressed. Shorts can really be a focal point of an outfit whilst keeping you cool.

Topshop Moto Dip Dye High Waist Hotpants- £34.00
(I actually bought a pair of these yesterday but I have to return them as they're too small!)

ASOS- Thirty Four Disciples Stud Denim Shorts- £38.00


SILVER JEWELRY 
Cool-toned silver jewelry is the perfect accessory to light summer outfits. Gold jewelry, I think, is more for the winter months as it's a warmer tone. Silver is light, and easy to wear and will compliment any outfit.

Urban Outfitters Thumb Ring- £8.00

New Look Silver Animal Tooth Tunnel Earrings- £2.99


MAXI DRESSES AND SKIRTS
I usually go for mini dresses but the last couple of summers (and especially this summer) I've really been leaning towards maxi dresses and maxi skirts. You can get some really nice, dressy, patterned ones, sheer coloured ones  or simple light-weight black skirts. As for dresses, there are loads of choices too. They can give you a really nice silhouette and shape and can be flattering on almost every body type.

Miss Selfridge Black Slit Maxi Skirt- £24.00
(I did buy this skirt and I am in love with it!)

ASOS Maxi Dress in Catching The Sun Print- £28.00


HATS
Hats are key in the summer. The main reason being for preventing your head from getting sunburnt but also they can add an edgy twist to an outfit. A big 40's style floppy hat can complete a classic, classy look whereas a felt pork pie hat can make your outfit stand out and be unique.
Topshop Mini Roller Hat- £25.00

River Island Fedora Hat with Ribbon Detail- £15.00


STUDS AND SPIKES
This spring/summer spikes and studs have been absolutely everywhere. On shoes, jackets, tops etc. I love anything spiked. They can be added on to light summery fabric and really add edge.

Asos Sister Jane Studded Cross T-Shirt- £48.00 

Topshop Moto Khaki Studded Bralet- £35.00

I hope you've enjoyed this post! 
Stay Glamorous,
