Happy Friday! Summer's in full swing, so you might be thinking of refreshing your wardrobe and swapping out heavier skincare and makeup for lighter, breezier options. Got a family wedding coming up? You'll want a wedding guest dress that's stylish and cool enough to handle the heat. Think flowy fabrics, soft florals, and flattering cuts – perfect for outdoor ceremonies and sun-soaked receptions. Even if you're not wedding-bound, breathable summer dresses are great for easy, everyday style. Retro fashion is also making a comeback, with relaxed pieces such as the Oasis x Adidas collab bringing 1990s festival vibes to daily looks. Whether you're heading to a gig or catching up with friends in the sunshine, these styles have you covered. No summer kit is complete without proper sun care. A lightweight SPF moisturiser is essential – hydrating without feeling greasy or clogging pores. Boots is currently offering up to 50 per cent off Garnier Ambre Solaire, and if you're looking to stock up on other summer essentials (think hair removal, keratin treatments, and more), Answr's summer sale is worth a look. When it comes to makeup, staying power is what we need when the heat hits. A good setting powder locks in your look, while bronzing drops add an effortless, sun-kissed glow. Our consumer editor put Charlotte Tilbury and Urban Decay setting sprays to the test, to see which one holds up best in a heatwave. A chic pair of sunglasses will complete your summer look, and Meller's two-for-one offer provides the perfect excuse to update your eyewear for less. Wellness is also having its moment this season. Cod liver oil is trending for its health benefits, and matcha remains a summer favourite for a steady energy boost without the caffeine crash. Whatever your plans, have a fantastic weekend – here's to making the most of the sunshine while it lasts! |
