To bare or not to bare, that is the question. Humidity has split fashion’s front-line wardrobes down the middle. While some are making the most of summer’s last gasp with sandals, sundresses and skin, others are showing-off their new Autumn/Winter wear and looking a little warm.
“I understand people wanting to parade their new looks, but sweating is not glamorous,” says Matches’ bare-legged Bridget Cosgrave.
Our hearts go out to those trussed up in black leather and thigh-high boots, a key look for this season, apparently. Deciding what to wear in an industry that operates in the future is never easy, without the British climate throwing a spanner in the works by being unseasonably hot.
But Brix Smith-Start, dressed in her summer finery of a Hannah Marshall chiffon dress and strappy sandals, has the answer: “I have my Alex Wang shearling gilet with me
to transform my outfit to Autumn/Winter if needed.” A transeasonal hero is born. All hail the gilet!
