I’ll be the first to admit it that I spend a lot of time on Instagram, especially during the pandemic. While I may have lost the plot to films and TV shows I’m meant to be watching, thanks to the endless scrolling available, I had got something to show for it: great outfit ideas. And in my line of work, that matters. As you might imagine, I see an endless array of outfit combinations, and while there are plenty that aren’t quite right, there are many that stop me in my tracks.
Case in point: I’ve followed Amy Julliette Lefévre, who goes by the IG handle @lefevrediary) for a while, and a few weeks ago I came across the most perfect outfit—an oversized blazer, white T-shirt, jeans and slouchy socks with classic white trainers. The look was pure 2020; modern but with a vintage, slightly ’80s twist. I immediately saved it to my September looks folders (because I do that sort of thing). Before I knew it, I’d saved loads of other looks that I know will be amazing for the coming month.
There are the trousers and blazer combos that are ideal for the in-between weather. But I’ve also found plenty of dress and boots ensembles, meaning you can get more use out of your summer dresses. The key thing to remember is that this is the time when you might still be able to wear sandals one day, but ankle boots on another. Ready to see which outfits I’ve saved? Keep scrolling…
