As anyone living in the unpredictable English climate knows, dressing for spells of warm weather can be challenging.

As someone who has now had plenty of experience in strategic layering, I thought I would take some time to share my knowledge of how exactly to dress when the mercury rises (and it does involve some sensible sleeves, just in case).
From clever co-ords to reliable dresses, there’s no one formula when it comes to dressing for warm weather. And at the end of the day, it’s all about what makes you feel cool and comfortable, as both factors are a top priority when outfit planning.
