Warmer weather has arrived in the UK after a bit of a false start (shout out to anyone else caught out in the hailstones during May), which brings with it many delightful perks. These include but are not limited to: coming outside to lighter, balmy skies after the working day, spontaneous evenings drinking rosé in a bustling beer garden, and eating a spread of picky bits – ideally M&S – while the BBQ warms up.
With temperatures set to climb into the mid to high twenties in the coming days, it’s all in our near future.
The heatwave also means that after months of trench coats, cardigans, jeans and thick tights, it is time to introduce the summer wardrobe. If you’ve completely forgotten how to dress between May and September, no need to sweat as Ellis Ranson, celebrity stylist and host of the fashion podcast Talk in Wardrobe, has us covered.
