Loads of exciting events happen in Summer and one of the most exciting things that may happen is that you get invited to a Summer wedding. There may only be officially a few weeks left of Summer, however if we are lucky sometimes the warm weather holds out until about mid to late September, so even if you are going to a wedding in September you can still wear what you would typically wear to a Summer wedding. In this post I've picked out 3 outfits for both women and men who have been invited to a Summer wedding. I've chosen 2 outfits for an outdoor Summer wedding, 2 for a destination wedding and 2 for a black tie/formal wedding. Hopefully these outfits will give you some inspiration if you do have a late Summer wedding coming up or even an early Autumn one.
Outfit 1- Outdoor Summer Wedding for Women
Oasis Bird Print Midi Pencil Dress- £49
Glamorous Nude Heeled Court Shoes £26
Outdoor Summer Wedding for Men
M&S Collection Indigo Slim Fit 3 Piece Suit- £134
Asos Derby Shoes in brown leather- £55
Outfit 2- Destination Wedding for Women
Boohoo Double Layer Cami Dress- £22
Glamorous Nude Patent Barely There Blocked Heeled Sandals- £28
Destination Wedding for Men
M&S Collection Linen Beige Regular Fit suit- £98.50
Asos Oxford Shoes in brown suede- £55
Outfit 3- Black-Tie Wedding for Women
Maya V Neck Midi Tule Dress with tonal delicate sequins- £75
Dune Aiyana Nude Leather Heeled Shoes- £80
Black-Tie Wedding for Men
M&S Collection Black Regular Fit Tuxedo Suit- £89
Base London Holmes Leather Oxford Shoes in black- £70
I'm definitely not an expert on menswear myself but hopefully I've chosen some good outfits for all you men out there. If you want to find some more great menswear pieces though then have a look on the Bonobos website as they also have a great range of different pieces to choose from, including some fab suits for any occasion.
I hope these outfits are of help to you if you are going to a wedding. I feel that I've chosen a range off different styles that would appeal to lots of people. Let me know what you think of the outfits in the comments section!

Recently I was set a challenge to put together a few outfits that will take you from the office to happy hour. I was set the challenge by T.M Lewin who are a London based British heritage brand that sells and focuses on traditional but yet stylish menswear however they also sell sophisticated shirts, jackets, skirts and trousers for women too. Their brand shows you that work wear doesn't always have to be boring and drab, you can wear interesting and stylish clothes to the office, it's just about knowing how to style the pieces you already have in your wardrobe, whilst incorporating new pieces to freshen up your look.
Look 1- The Classic
If you are someone who likes to play safe with your outfit, for example you like to wear neutral colours, then just adding a little detail to something can make that neutral outfit a little more interesting. Here I've gone for the T.M Lewin Fitted White Print Collar Shirt, a New Look black pencil skirt and also a black court shoe and black blazer from New Look as well.
Look 2- All about that print
This look is definitely for someone who is not afraid to wear something that will stand out. Swans are beautiful creatures, so why not wear some on your shirt? With this Semi Fitted Black and White Swan Print Shirt from T.M Lewin you too can look just as elegant and strikingly beautiful like a swan that's gliding on the water however of course you will be gliding through both your professional and your social life. I decided to put it with the Jenna Black Stretch Trousers also from T.M Lewin, some black court shoes from New Look and also a lovely dark red blazer from New Look as well.
Look 3- A pop of colour
This look would be for the woman who doesn't like to wear black all the time, or maybe they don't like black at all, so they'd rather wear an outfit that's colourful and something that maybe has some print to it too. So for this outfit I've gone for a printed dress, grey court shoes and a pink blazer all from New Look.
Now for some menswear which is what T.M Lewin specialises in. I have to show you a selection of some of the Slim Fit Shirts as they are very sleek looking and they come in a range of fabulous colours too (there's even one that you don't need to iron as it doesn't crease-how great is that!).
Here are some suits as well
So that's how you can get Fit For Friday so you can go straight from the office to happy hour and have some fun after a working week.
I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what your go-to office to happy hour outfit would be.

Outfit details: Khaki vest top- Primark, Coat- New Look, Scarf- charity shop, Touch Screen Gloves- M&S, Black High Waisted Jeans- Topshop, Heeled Boots- New Look (similar here) Bag- Michael Kors
So here's a different post for you today and it's a fashion post in fact- an outfit of the day (or OOTD for short of course). This is my go-to kind of everyday look if I want to look put together so I can go anywhere throughout the day and just fit into whatever situation and environment I'm in. On this day we went for a look round Harrods and this photo was taken in front of where the lifts were on the Women's Wear floor, we went here because it was the only place that had the best lighting and also it was out of view from all the staff and other customers haha. After that we looked around the Chanel section which was a dream and the staff made you feel quite welcomed actually. One of the staff asked if we wanted to look at some of the jewellery out of the glass casing which was nice of her to say even though clearly we were just looking, but it's the thought and service that counts. Maybe we actually looked quite classy and sophisticated that day, so we looked liked we had that kind of money to spend- only joking! but it felt great haha.
What do you think of my outfit, be honest and also what's your go-to put together/smart but casual look? Is it similar to this or different, I'd love to know.
