Fabulous Late Summer Fashion From Lighthouse
Celebrate the simple moments, live a little slower and treasure everyday adventures. Wouldn’t it be great to worry less about the weather and instead enjoy the moment you are in? Happily you can, because we have you covered. To encourage a simpler, more joyful life, we create style led weatherproof clothing for the daily dash, easy coastal wanders and the wild and wonderful everyday.
It’s such a brilliant ethos to have, isn’t it. Lighthouse Clothing is all about being able to be stylish in the every day, regardless of the weather. Whether it be on the school run, out shopping, or enjoying a walk in the park or along the coast, Lighthouse creates pieces that are practical, stylish and eminently wearable, every single day.
As we head into late Summer, Lighthouse have pieces that are just perfect for the current, very changeable weather. The quality is amazing, their pieces wash really well, and are classics that you will be able to call on this Summer, next Summer, and the one after. You can also check out some of their more traditional, Autumnal looks here.
Here are some of my fave pieces from the current collection. Many pieces are now in the sale, so are definitely worth a look.
Lola Blouse – Summer Floral
The Lola blouse is a super pretty design with the loveliest of Summer flowers as the featured print. It is a lightweight viscose fabric that is both cool, and yet with a luxurious feel, with pretty cuffed 3/4 sleeves and a frilled neckline with a tie detail.
The length of this top makes it ideal to wear either loose and flowing in a boho style, but it is also long enough to be tucked in with a French tuck for a more streamlined, formal styling.
I teamed my Lola blouse with a pair of khaki cotton/linen blend shorts and black sliders for a late Summer look, and I have to say I do think the blouse looks great with shorts, as well as the jeans you can see on the Lighthouse website. I would wear this with jeans once the days become cooler so that it will work as an Autumn look too.
The Lola Blouse also comes in a Indigo Daisy colourway which you can see below.
Ariana Tee – Orange Pink Stripe
Lighthouse Ariana t-shirts are just wonderful. They come in a gorgeous stretch cotton jersey and a brilliant range of cute stripe colourways that make them perfect for wearing with shorts, jeans or a denim skirt.
I love the orange pink stripe design which I think is a colour clash that really works well. The neckline is a v, but it is not too deep to make this all about the cleavage, but instead is gentle to make the look flattering rather than revealing.
I wear my Ariana t-shirt with a pretty broderie anglais skirt that you can read about here and I think it works well for sunny days, but again you can see this worn with a denim jacket over the top once we hit Autumn. I am wearing a size 16 in this top and this is a really comfortable fit, so I would say that it is true to size.
