Slow Fashion: 5 Timeless Summer Wardrobe Essentials
The height of summer is here and it's time to get out and enjoy the outdoors! Between the beach time, BBQs, weddings and holidays of a typical summer, it's the perfect opportunity to flex the best of your wardrobe. It's certainly my favourite time of the year and I can't get enough of those Riviera-inspired looks.
SLOW FASHION
In an increasingly eco-conscious world however, it would be irresponsible to suggest splurging on a brand new summer wardrobe to appease the fast-fashion makers; instead encouraging the idea of 'slow fashion', or investment in practical, timeless silhouettes that will last season after season.
My mission with Stylecamp is to create lasting pieces you'll want to wear again and again, with the versatility for the many occasions that summer brings. This is achieved through well-made, simple and elegant design that doesn't follow trends, instead with an emphasis on enduring classics that make you look and feel good.
If you're thinking of making changes towards a sustainable, slow fashion wardrobe this season, here's some suggestions from the Stylecamp collection to create a capsule wardrobe of summer essentials that you'll have on repeat for years to come. Featuring key silhouettes selected for their timeless nature and ultimate wearability, discover what occasions to wear them for and how to make them your own.
1. LIGHTWEIGHT BLOUSE
It's light, it's airy, it's loose against the skin; there's nothing better for summer than a good, lightweight shirt like Stylecamp's Lana blouse. Made from natural, breathable materials including unique buttons carved from coconut shells, it features a vintage-inspired tie front detail that always looks flattering balanced on the waistband of summer skirts, shorts, jeans or trousers.
Wear it tied or undone; tucked-in or free; this versatile blouse responds to your style mood. It's also a design with seasonal longevity, seeing you through from early spring into late autumn with its easy to wear feeling and classic styling.
2. LINEN SHORTS
Ever the classic for summer, linen is the go-to fabric that keeps you cool in hot weather whilst retaining a luxe feel. A pair of linen shorts, then, is a wardrobe must!
This high waisted pair, Stylecamp's Betty shorts, features an elegant shaped waist and pleats with a not-too-short length. Classic styling that won't date and a comfort factor makes these shorts a perfect candidate for a slow fashion summer wardrobe.
