Not to jinx it, but unfortunately the British summer seems to have come and gone before June had even started. So it’s always important to have that extra layer on hand- and even better when it looks good too. Adding an oversized blazer or trench coat is an easy way to elevate the outfit. Pair it with jeans or dark trousers, and you have a stylish look ready for any occasion.
