Unpredictable summer weather? 5 quick clothing tips

Nothing is as changeable as our summer weather, especially in the Netherlands and surrounding countries. Every morning, the question is what to wear, as it can be a bit colder in the morning and warm in the afternoon. Our tip? Layering! Even during the summer months.

1. Cover-ups

Tip:

Play with lengths within your look to add contrast to your outfit. For example, go for a long dress with a cropped jacket or a shorter T-shirt with a long cardigan.

2. Shirt as a jacket = Shacket

Tip:

A regular shirt blouse is also perfect as a layering item. Wear it with the buttons open and tie the ends of the hem loosely together. Especially shirt blouses in poplin or linen are perfect for a layered summer look.

3. Oversized blazer

Tip:

Wear your oversized blazer with a leather belt or metal chain belt to accentuate your waist.

4. Summer scarves

Tip:

A scarf is also perfect for adding color to your look.

5. Sweater or long sleeve

2. Shirt as a jacket = Shacket

5. Sweater or long sleeve

The simplest way to add an extra layer to your summer look is, of course, with a cardigan or jacket. This can be a short or long cardigan, or a denim jacket, bomber jacket, kimono, or utility jacket. Totally trendy now? The sleeveless vest or gilet: not only stylish but also super versatile.

The shacket has made its debut in recent seasons and remains an absolute must-have for the coming season. The shacket is a combination of a shirt and a jacket and is a true multitasker. Wear it as a shirt with the buttons closed or open as a jacket for an extra layer.

It is clear that we have a fondness for oversized blazers, and they are perfect for layering. Not only with T-shirt and shorts combinations but also with long and short dresses and skirts. Because an oversized blazer creates a certain volume, you can best balance it with fitted styles.

Creating a layered look can also be done perfectly with accessories, and the scarf is the perfect example. Whether you choose a finely woven scarf from Alpaca Loca or Tapis Noir, or a chunky knit from Manos del Uruguay. Drape the scarf loosely around your neck or casually over your shoulders.

Another simple way to add an extra layer to your summer look is to wear a sweater over your T-shirt or top, with athleisure sweatshirts and hoodies or classic fine-knit sweaters being favorites. Want to add an extra layer to your sleeveless dress? Then wear a T-shirt or long sleeve under or over the dress. Styling success guaranteed!

The advantage of layered combinations is that you can alternate with colors and textures. Go for a monochrome look with neutral colors, stay within a color group with tone-on-tone styling, or go for color contrast and combine different colors. Everything is possible! And an absolute 'do' this summer? A summer look entirely in black, where you alternate with different materials for texture contrast. Modern, super stylish, and always right.
