@smythsistersSummer tailoring is very much a thing right now.

@styleidealistStyle Notes: While I don't like to encourage it, whenever I haven't bought both pieces in a matching set, I've always come to regret it. Don't follow in my footsteps. A lightweight suit in a summery shade—how beautiful is that tangerine?—will serve you well for a multitude of soirées and occasions.
This sorbet orange hue has summer written all over it.
This is 2023's mantra: If in doubt, add a white racerback vest.
Let your finest footwear peak out from under these trousers.

@anoukyveStyle Notes: Shorts and summer go hand in hand like a flake in your ice cream. This season, however, hemlines are longer than what we've seen previously in fluid tailored silhouettes.
This will pair so easily with jeans, miniskirts, shorts…You name it.

@bubblyaquariusStyle Notes: One of the biggest moods on the summer 2023 runways was thinking up new ways to wear bra tops and bikinis in the city. Just add a pair of tailored trousers and you've nailed the assignment. I like how Rachael has opted for a printed pair here.
Hunza G bikinis double up as the perfect crop top.

@smythsistersStyle Notes: The easiest way to channel the tailoring trend in the summer? With a tailored vest. Not only will it dress up your jeans in a flash, but it also makes for a cute cover-up option over dresses. Me? I like wearing mine with slip skirts for a pretty juxtaposition of fabrics and silhouettes.

@femmeblkStyle Notes: Many will readily assume that tailoring relies heavily on the colour black. A black blazer or pair of trousers is always a sound style investment, but for the summer season, why not lighten your look with a different shade such as brown, as seen on Lydia above, or navy? A camisole and mules will instantly take a pair of tailored trousers from day to night.
This Monki pair of trousers comes in so many prints and colours.

@remyfarrellStyle Notes: Tailored dresses have come a long way from the peplum midis that dominated the early '00s. Now significantly more modern, they present a foolproof way of wearing tailoring when it's hot out.
Our shopping editor Remy Farrell wore this COS number on her first day at Who What Wear, after which so many of us bought it for ourselves.
There's no outfit a pair of gold hoops won't suit.

@dawn.tanStyle Notes: If you thought tailoring would make you look stuffy, might I guide your attention to Dawn, who has given her grey trousers a downtime spin with chunky trainers and a cropped vest. This look is the epitome of cool.
