It's 29 degrees and I'm wearing pj bottoms.

[Wagglebee]

I have no clue how to dress for Summer.

I'm currently hidden away in my garden wearing cotton baggy pj bottoms and a vest. Obviously I can't go out like this...can I?

Every year I have good intentions and every time it ends in me panicking and buying something baggy and hideous or hiding away because I literally have nothing suitable to wear.

I'm 5'6" a size 10 and hourglass/pear shaped. Very pale skin. 30ff.

What do you wear in Summer?

Can anyone help me put a couple of outfits together please?

Halter or thick strapped frocks - I favour retro/vintage but they lean to any style. Cotton bra underneath. If you're worried about pale legs just wear it a little longer than the knee.

Wide "palazzo" trousers or cotton pedal pushers plus a fitted tshirt or casual pattern (check or similar) blouse.

Jersey maxi - belt it for smart, on its own for popping to shops.

Those are my go to summer things. I find H&M, New Look, Matalan and Asda/Sainsbury particularly good for cheap hot weather basics. I then invest in more expensive dresses/trousers.

Sorry just to add my shape - shorter than you but size 8-10 hourglass with G cups (baby feeding) - usually DD/e.

So similar enough.

Jersey/cotton bras are vital for me. The Mitchell brothers must not get sweaty or saggy in the heat.

I don't know what fabric but it feels like old fashioned crepe but they are washing machine friendly.
And they don't seem to need ironing which is a bonus for me as I don't iron.

Echo the linen trousers. I live in mine during the summer. Buy them in various colours and get cropped ones as well!

Palazzo pants are big this year. I can't pull these off as I still have my pregnancy belly never lost it after my first DC but they are wide and thin and colourful so might be similar to your pj bottoms.

OP have you seen those cuffed joggers that are out at the moment? I've got a couple of pairs, they are great in this weather with a loose vest from Primark.

lostthegame - oh that sounds nice .Um ,what is this "ironing " of which you speak ?

squitia - I probably should start a new thread but can you give details of cotton/jersey bras ? I expect v simple ,but I don't get out much !

I get mine from Debenhams - they're on the rail with/near the tshirt bras, always very simple cotton. No lace or padding, just a simple under wire bra but nice and light.
In very hot weather I wear non wired "box" bras from M&S! You can't even buy them online, you need to go in store - they're very plain and unglamorous, but cool on a warm day under a tshirt. They do larger sizes in their firmer support non wired range.
