What does your summer wardrobe consist of?

[ThomCat]

I've been driven to creatin g this thread by the amoun t of mumsnetters that so strongly disagree with 3/4 length trousers, see Cod's thread on 3/4 lenght sleeve tops.

My wardrobe, in summer consists of a lot of 3/4 length style trousers and vest tops and flip floppy style shoes. Lots of other things but day to day I'm sporting 3/4 lengths with something or other, casual, smart, day & night.
I've got a red rouched pair, black linens, white combat style, khaki combat style ones, smart black ones with trun up, denim 3/4's and so on.

What about you? Do you wear them in summer and if n ot what do you wear?

[northerner]

3/4 length trouseers are a must IMO. I've got loads of pairs too, including some smart black flared ones to wear with heels to the office.

I'm also going to invest a couple of long gypsey skirts this summer to wear with flip flops and a little denim jacket. I alos like long linene type trousers to keep cool in.

[Bozza]

Yes I was thinking a gypsy skirt might be nice this summer, and reasonably practical with flip flops.

[Smurfgirl]

Um. Vests, gypsey skirts, beaded flip flops, flats.

I need some new linen trousers and 3/4 denims.

I hate cropped trousers, no one looks good in them except supermodels! Even my sister who is ridiculously tall and slim looks silly in them. I wear jeans and strappy tops or skirts and strappy tops or linen trousers and strappy tops, and I have a huge collection of flipflops and sandals. But this year I have to wear big nursing bras so might have to rethink the strappiness of the tops.

No I don't do 3/4 length, am too short

I like full length straight leg linen trousers myself. Or skirts, mainly on/just below the knee. Lots of nice flattie flip flops, birkenstocks or wedgie espadrilles

[Mothernature]

Apparently Pinafores and hipsters are the theme this month along with last years gypsy skirts and cowboy boots - linen and lace.....just whats in my wardrobes....not...morelike stripey red/white pants tee shirts and jeans....now off to buy 3/4 length pants and jeans to match flip flops...

[hoxtonchick]

i've got a pair of 3/4 length gap jeans which are really flattering but am generally not keen on them. prefer to wear full length linen trousers, the odd long linen skirt & knee length skirts or dresses. this summer however it'll be whatever fits - baby no. 2 due at the end of june.

[Bozza]

Linen lovely, but far too creasy to have too many items in wardrobe.

[CountessDracula]

Bozza just iron with starch, not creasy then

[expatinscotland]

Summer? What's that? We had one in 2003, I think, but I was still losing weight from having a baby and it was Autumn by the time I shifted it.

I wear jeans all summer. I only own 2 skirts and no pairs of shorts. And cheap tshirts.

But I do have some nice shoes and sandals.

Is it really that simple Countess? DD has a beautiful linen dress but it is a PITA to iron and she should really be getting some wear out of it.

[CountessDracula]

yep
I wear linen all the time in hte summer

Spray it on then leave for a minute or two as otherwise it flakes.

Or use the stuff in the wash

[Peckarollover]

I wear 3/4 quarter stuff in the summer (and all other seasons!)

For this summer I think I will be wearing a lot of long white peasant skirts with ethnic embroidered kaftans in v bright colours with a belt and some jewelled ballet pumps or flat sandals.

Also, denim skirts of varying lengths
