Struggling to decide between florals or classic whites for Midsummer? Our favourite tastemakers serve up some helpful inspiration
When considering Midsummer ensembles, two clear camps quickly form: florals versus all-white. This fierce sartorial rivalry reigns supreme every year, making the decision of what to don during the festivities no easy feat.
If you're camp florals, the more traditional romantic dress is an easy option. After all, swathing skirts and puffed-up sleeves ooze archetypal Midsummer wear. But for a more modern and elevated approach, we are taking notes from the style set: think bolder, artistic floral and hints of soft tailoring.
For those more inclined towards all-white, the style set urge us to steer clear of overly feminine frills. Sleek and minimal is the key for Midsummer, with the romantic essence lying in simple silky slips, crisp cotton, and floor-skimming hemlines. Just don't forget a cosy knitted cover-up for when the temperature (inevitably) drops.
