Layering is a great way to add texture to your outfits.
Plus, practically, allows you to prepare for whatever the changeable British weather decides to throw your way.
There’s a lot you can do with women’s clothing to tailor fashions and designs to your figure and taste.
Start with a linen shirt, and pop enough buttons to show off a great t-shirt, tank-top or bikini top underneath. This looks stylish and relaxed, is practical as you can whip the shirt on or off as necessary, and can be worn at the beach, or for a night out.
Shawls and scarves are a great way to get warm quickly if the sun disappears, whilst providing a dash of colour, an air of style, and help to draw attention to your face.
Leggings under skirts or shorts can be hit and miss, but with the right colours, and right top, this can be a great way to look relaxed and summery whilst staying warm. It’s also great if you’re not massively confident about bearing your legs – just don’t go for neon tights or you’ll end up attracting attention to all the wrong places.
Wearing polo shirts, vests or t-shirts over long-sleeved tops was a staple of grunge fashion in the 1990s, and it hasn’t gone off-trend since. Mainly because it’s so simple and practical to achieve, and can be a great way to accentuate your figure.

For many years, green has been one of the least-favourite colours of the fashion world.

If you don’t fancy adopting green full-time, it’s still worth considering green for your occasional dresses, to make sure you’re setting the trends at any wedding or party this season.
