Summer is finally here, and whether you're planning a sunny getaway or just updating your hot weather wardrobe, You Know Who’s has your back with easy, breezy style at prices that won’t leave you sweating.
Here’s our go-to guide for what to buy this season – all about looking fab while feeling cool and comfortable, both at home and on holiday.
☀️ The Summer Dress Edit
No summer wardrobe is complete without the perfect dress (or three). Think light, floaty, and effortlessly chic. This year, it’s all about breathable fabrics and versatile styles that can take you from garden BBQ to beachside cocktails. Keep your eyes peeled for floral prints, smocked bodices, and loose-fit midi and maxi dresses that flatter every shape.
Best of all? Our picks start at under £15 – so you can stock up without guilt.
👚 Shirts & Blouses
A lightweight shirt or blouse is the secret weapon of a warm-weather wardrobe. Tie it over a tank, wear it open over your swimsuit, or tuck it into shorts for a smart casual vibe. Look for cotton and linen blends to stay cool, and opt for classic neutrals or pastel tones that go with everything.
Oversized fits are in – comfy, relaxed, and oh-so-flattering.
🧢 Summer Essentials: Tanks & Tees from £3
The humble tank top and the classic crew neck tee – no-frills basics that go with absolutely everything. They’re the ultimate layering pieces, and perfect for hot days when you want minimal fuss. Grab a few in neutral shades like white, black, and beige, then add a pop of colour (coral or sage, anyone?) for fun.
Tip: Multi-packs are your best mate when it comes to budget buys.
👖 Bengaline is Back
For shorts and trousers that actually fit well, bengaline is your go-to fabric this season. It’s got stretch, it’s flattering, and it won’t cling where it shouldn’t. Choose a pair of high-waisted bengaline shorts for everyday wear, or go for cropped trousers for something a bit dressier. Perfect for city strolls, airport runs, or sipping sangria on the terrace.
💥 Plissé Please!
If there’s one trend to lean into this summer, it’s plissé. That fine, crinkled fabric is lightweight, breezy, and gives serious “put-together without trying” energy. Plissé trousers, wide-leg sets, and sleeveless tops are dominating this year’s summer lookbooks – and we’re here for it.
They pack like a dream (no ironing needed!) and transition from day to night with just a change of shoes.
👡 Summer Footwear Sorted
When the sun's out, your toes should be too. A comfy pair of sliders or strappy sandals is non-negotiable. Look for padded soles, adjustable straps, and neutral tones that go with everything in your wardrobe. Whether you’re walking along the seafront or dashing through the airport, these styles tick all the boxes: cute, comfy, and super affordable.
✈️ Final Tips
Mix and match is the name of the game. Choose a few key pieces in light, versatile colours, and you'll have outfits for every occasion without overpacking or overspending.
Get ready to welcome the sunshine – and look great doing it.
