I'm not really one for yearly trends - most of my stuff is ancient/well-loved and fairly timeless - but I've just got my big bag of summer stuff out and it's weird how some of it is starting to look a bit off, somehow.

My denim jacket needs retiring for a while, I think - I put it on and it looked weirdly early 2000s, which has never bothered me before! I think a much wider silhouette for trousers is common now, but you'll have to pry my tapered linen cigarette pants from my cold dead hands. I also love simple mid-thigh shorts with pockets, and I still like how those look, but I'm a bit lost skirts and dresses-wise - don't really know what I want to wear this year in that regard. I could also do with a new casual jacket - maybe a sort of cropped chore jacket style with two front pockets. I'll have a look on Vinted.

What are you buying for spring/summer and what are you still wearing after 10/15 years?

@Tryonemoretime , there are a lot of them around. Narrow or flared?

Thank you so much! Having read the reviews, I'll order it in the petite. Thank you again.

@LivingDeadGirlUK black is always the answer!

I know here's a few seamstresses on this thread, so I wonder if anyone's able to help with this - I'm after a pattern for a sort of boxy linen shell top similar to this style - so a fairly high slash/boat neck, and a loose, quite wide shape. Has anyone made anything similar, please?

Trying again as images don't seem to have appeared on last post.

@LaRevolution Helen's Closet Ashton is a possible, altho' the neckline might need some tweaking. The shape looks pretty spot on otherwise.

Ah thank you @bumsntums, that definitely looks similar!
