Come Rain or Shine

Some things are constant in the summer months. Ice lollies enjoyed after refreshing swims, the scent of suntan lotion, and a strong desire to hop on a plane. What’s not a given is the weather. Summer often brings about torrential downpour that starts, stops, and starts again all in one unpredictable afternoon.

So, forecast ahead and dress for even the most mercurial of climes. Here’s our guide to seasonal styling to get you started.

Summers are scorching, sweltering, and kind of gross if we’re being completely honest. When battling sticky, sweaty humidity, natural deodorants and synthetic fabrics just aren’t enough. Opt for cotton tops from sacai and WOOYOUNGMI, layers that shrug on and off with ease, and a cap to top it all off.

Even if you enjoy getting caught in the rain, an unexpected soak is all romance in the moment, uncomfortable in hindsight. Minimise discomfort by dressing appropriately with a waterproof hoodie, nylon carryall, and towelling shorts. And yes, do keep an umbrella in your bag.

The roar of a typhoon elicits a hint of joy, building up the expectation for a surprise sabbatical from work, school, or the outside world. Enjoy those extra hours of sleep and press pause on your before-work routine – we’re staying home in boxy tees and cosy knits.

The last lingering swelter of summer may not evoke any burning desire to slide arms into long sleeves - but we’re planners. Strategise for the months ahead with Song For The Mute’s nylon trench, sturdy cargo pants, and wear-forever high-tops. When the first chill of autumn induces goosebumps, you’ll be thanking us.
