A SUPERDRY SUMMER

One of the most enjoyable things about living in the digital age is that fashion has become a consistent stream of opportunities and ideas waiting to be picked. We are spoilt for choice. It’s inevitable that some options will fall under the radar, but summer is the season to try all sorts of fresh styles. Out with the drab and in with the sunnies and lighter denim. Thankfully, Superdry has us sorted with on-trend essentials that are versatile and season appropriate. Take a look below for the ones we can’t wait to dip our toes into.

TO THE MAXI

Is there a more feel-good piece of clothing than the maxi dress? Even just running your hands through one on a rack has the power to make you feel lighter, transporting you to happy, sun-kissed days. If you’re looking for a fashionable wardrobe staple that requires minimal effort, look no further. Superdry’s collection of maxi dresses offer the best floor-sweeping styles, perfect for everyday dressing with a pair of trainers or for sightly smarter occasions.

ON A SLING

Some may think that streetwear is a little too casual. We’re pleased to point those people in the direction of this functional-yet-smart addition to the summer wardrobe. With the trend for all things 90s still going strong, it’s unsurprising that we’re smitten with the crossbody messenger bag. It's a stylish choice for getting around the city hands-free.

JUMP INTO IT

A jumpsuit is not a lazy onesie. And while they’ve long been around, jumpsuits have recently made a strong comeback as closet must-haves. Now that summer is (almost) here, we're ready to relaunch all-in-one dressing. Don’t be shy to wear them over T-shirts, shirts and blouses. If you'd like to smarten one up, add a belt and a pair of heels or cowboy boots and you’re good to go.

SHORT WORK

We’re eager to keep our looks fresh when the temperatures start to soar. Smart or tailored shorts work for in and out of the office. Denim and rolled hems take the mood down a notch for an effortless look that’s easy to maintain. Want to add a little fun? Find shorts with graphic prints.

JACK IT UP

Regardless of the flow of the seasons and fashion calendars, there’s one piece of outerwear that hardly ever bends to trends: the trusted denim jacket. A transitional wardrobe staple, you can style it as many ways as your imagination lets you. It looks just as good thrown over a printed dress as it does doubled up with skinny jeans. On the days you're itching to give it a break, but still fancy a piece of outwear, kick it up a style notch with the equally trusted bomber jacket.
