Cool Summer styles to Wear as the temps rise!

18/06/2017

Keeping cool and wearing cool summer clothes as in fashionably trendy ‘cool’ becomes harder the older you become. Comfort is key for me now I am in my fifties, but I do still want to be seen as having a little fashion flair too and I am sure it is the same for you too?

Cool Summer Trends

Therefore, I am delighted with the ‘floaty Kimono/Kaftan’ trend this summer cool and ‘cool’ in the truest sense of the word! It also means you can get away with wearing a vest top, because you can cover those arms with a loose kimono style jacket or blouse.

If you are petite you just wear a shorter version, length doesn’t matter.

The high street is full of kaftan and kimono style jackets and tops right now. Visit H&M, Zara, Topshop etc.

Bonmarché’s Kaftan top

The one I am wearing in these pics is from Bonmarché

Cool Summer Embroidered Cropped jeans

I teamed it with Bonmarché’s embroidered cropped jeans, which are very stretchy and very comfy. I normally wear a size 12 for jeans, but I almost wish I had ordered a size 10 in this style, as they are a good fit but perhaps come up slightly large for me, plus stretch denim gives a lot.

Palm Print kaftan top

I think this viscose Kaftan top is the star of the show! Black and white palm print, it goes with everything, a flattering ‘v’ neck trimmed with pretty beads. Add in a clever contrasting border and you have the perfect throw-on top in a cool summer style! Plus at the moment its on offer for only £15!
