If, like me, you've missed the summer sales, which are now over, or couldn't find anything in your size, it seems that you're stuck if you find you need new clothes for that long-awaited summer holiday. Few replacements will be available until February or so (when the opposite happens - you're looking for cold weather clothes just as the shops fill with linen, t-shirts and shorts).
So, I've had a look around at some of the online shops to see what, if anything, is still available for summer wear. Among others, I tried a retailer I haven't looked at for a while, Brook Taverner - not high fashion, but, as I said in a previous post here, they have stylish clothes and accessories, including some British-produced fabrics, tweed in particular. You won't want tweed for summer, of course, but, I found that they still have some attractive summer clothes in stock - and their sale continues at the time of writing.
So, if you're looking to stock up for that August holiday, look for an online sale such as this one. I've picked a few of my favourite summer wear at clearance from the Brook Taverner website - clothes that would go well together and are always suitable for summer. Some are pictured below -

Oh God, I can feel myself ageing just by looking at these pictures.

ReplyDeleteI have to agree this is not dressing with style it is the stuff of the turgid middle age middle class mans wardrobe. A bit like John Lewis. Come on we raelly should be aiming higher than this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteI see what you say, but the point of this is that style comes down to how you wear clothes. If these were displayed differently on a different model and maybe more of a street style you may feel differently. I'm trying to look beyond the first impressions to the potential.
I would sell these clothes in a completely different way - I agree there is something slightly creaky about how they're shown in these images. However, I would wear these clothes - maybe in a different way - and this blog is my search for style.
It would be boring if we all agreed about what we like - that would make the search pointless.
