Swopped my winter/summer wardrobes over a couple of weeks ago when it was warm-remember that????
Colours are shades of blue, white, pinks, splashes of red and a sprinkling of black tee shirts.

Just bought a long sleeved linen shirt ( navy!) I did toy with buying a white one as well, then thought noooooo ( not with my frequent spillages onto bazooms)?

My summer wardrobe varies from my winter wardrobe by adding white trousers. Crops, wide linen and jeans. Plus loads of comfy sandals.
Basic colours are.navy, grey and green. I have scarves, wraps and pashminas in bright and summery colours.

Just whatever is in the wardrobe from last year ?

Same here, Nancy0. I put them all away at the end of last Summer so can’t remember what colours I have. A lot more than four though. smile

eazybee, I love navy as well and wear it often. One of my favourite outfits for summer is dark denim crops, navy sleeveless top and a beige lacy sweater. Sounds a bit boring but it looks really nice.

Navy, white, pink, lime green.
I have so much basic Navy which I find most colours look good with.

There is a brilliant blog I follow called The Vivienne Files. she show how to create small wardrobes based on neutral basics plus coloured extras.

I wear a lot of denim, and for summer aqua (or turquoise), coral and white for tops. Also love white jeans for summer.

No idea. I need to review what I have and what has had its day and needs replacing, then I will draw up a list of things that need replacing will go with what I have to provide a balanced stock of clothes for the summer.

Navy,, off white, grey and fuchsia pink.

Nanna58 Mon 03-May-21 17:45:52

I've just bought a green top not sure why but it'll have to be returned as I don't have a green section in my wardrobe ?

I certainly have plenty of summer things, Floradora9, and they do usually get worn a lot.
Still waiting at the moment, though - the sun is lovely but there’s still a wind that apparently comes straight from the North Pole.

I suppose it will depend to some extent on where you live, though. I once shared a house with a girl from Glasgow who said that back home she never wore actual summer things - just fewer winter ones.

Floradora9 Mon 26-Apr-21 15:45:48

Does anyone actually buy a summer wardrobe ? I just wear whatever is hanging in the wardrobe.

Emily49 Mon 26-Apr-21 10:17:25

Denim blue, white, teal, pale pink
