STYLING
STAFF STYLE: START OF SUMMER
By Alice Doleman, 22 May 2023
The season for romanticising your life is (almost) here!!! 🌞 That’s summer, BTW. Long days, warm nights, eating and drinking OUTSIDE, holiday romances, day festivals, the perfect summer dress, ice-cold drinks, sunsets, good vibes...🫶 OK, we’re getting ahead of ourselves now. First, we need a lil summer-style refresh – it’s been a while, after all. So, we asked four ASOSers to serve up some sizzling LOOKS and talk us through their start-of-summer style. Here goes! ❤️🔥
ANAYIS, CRM ASSISTANT
'My summer style is all about light, comfortable and colourful outfits. Linen trousers are a MUST coz who’s wearing jeans in summer? Not me, that’s for sure. I love a crochet moment too, as it’s super-breathable and looks cute 💙
'I'd wear this outfit for a day out with friends – I could even dress it up with kitten heels for summer evenings out. Blue is always my go-to colour. I’m also a big mini bag lover and this one has SUCH 90s vibes, which is often the inspo for my looks. What an era.'

SUSANNA, GARMENT TECHNOLOGIST
'For me, the move from spring to summer is about transitional pieces – cue a suit, which is still warm even if the weather isn’t. I love this 'fit as I can mix and match each piece with items I already own, meaning more outfits for less – win! Plus, it's a linen blend (breathable) and hot-pink (breathtaking).
'I finished the look with some bling, ofc – this fringe cami is IDEAL for elevating the outfit ahead of fun summer evenings, and the clutch gives it a classic vibe with plenty of space for ALLLL my things.'

GRACE, TRADE MARKETING ASSISTANT
'I’ve started dopamine-dressing in the hope that the sun matches my energy. I can’t wait for summer evenings – al fresco dining as the sun goes down is one of my fave things to do. ATM I love denim maxi skirts and off-the-shoulder tops for an all-day-all-eve kind of vibe. I could wear this look exploring during the day (in adidas trainers, ofc) and watching the sunset with a big bowl of pasta.
'I’ve added a distressed-leather jacket that I can sling around my shoulders as the temperature starts to drop – glam, but make it practical! I’ve topped everything off with a shoulder bag, obvs. I just love how this metallic one from Topshop catches the sunlight and brings the whole 'fit together.'

KIRSTY, EXECUTIVE PARTNERSHIPS PRODUCER
'My start-of-summer style is all about making the most of that sunshine! One peek and I’ll be off to the park to dog-watch with an iced coffee, or to my local pub to spend an afternoon in the beer garden.
'I’m all about effortless style, so denim shorts and an oversized shirt are dream items for me – they go with EVERYTHING. These Topshop shorts are the perfect black denim with a little bit of stretch. And I'm so into this Topshop shirt – it’s lightweight and super-oversized, so will make the best cover-up for sunny days or holidays. I’m also a Crocs lover, so I had to pick up this pair. They’re the comfiest shoes going, gorge for a sunny day exploring the city.'
