What to wear…for a Summer BBQ

Got the summer wardrobe every girl dreams of, but still in a pickle about how to put together the perfect outfit for all those upcoming parties?

Well, that’s where we can help, because this week we’re kicking off a series of ‘What to Wear’ features to help put to rest all your style dilemmas for the key summer occasions.

Invited to a hip summer BBQ and don’t want to be grilled on your outfit? Or, maybe you’re headed to Ascot, in which case don’t forget the style rule book! Summer weddings, garden parties and formal dinners, we’ve got them all stylishly covered; all you have to do is tune in every day of this week to get sartorially sorted for your occasion.

Kicking off the ‘What to Wear’ week with a sizzling style lesson in BBQ appropriate chic, we’ve opted for an easy-to-wear, printed romper. A light jacket is a must, in case the weather turns slightly cooler, and a look-at-me bag and comfortable flat sandals will complete the look.
