Little Red Dress' Top 10 Do's & Dont's for Summer!

1. DO- Opt for colour over black

Black is the perfect colour for winter mixed with a deeper colour palette and thicker fabrics, but when the sun has come out to play, so should your beautiful brights and patterns!


2. DO- Preference your light weight fabrics like cotton & viscose over heavy silks and woven materials!
Whilst they can create gorgeous textures and shapes, you will be thanking us in the Brisbane heat when you have re-thought that silk shirt for your afternoon event. No one likes a sweat patch!

3. DO- Work your statements back with a basic
It's not only a great way to keep the cost of an outfit down, but coordinating your basic items like a white tee or singlet with a more statement pant or maxi skirt is the best way to ensure its maximum impact!

4. DO- Remember the accessory!
Now that winter is gone we no longer have the luxury of layering our clothing items! So play around with your jewellery, a great pair of shades, a statement handbag or an eye catching summer scarf.

5. DO- Invest in new basics

Don't be afraid to get rid of the oldies that were your base pieces in winter! You want your whites to be bright white and your blacks not to be wooly! Basics are one of the most important ingredients to any great wardrobe, so why not treat yourself to a couple of new pieces this season.


6. DON'T- Mix winter items with summer pieces.

Stockings with a little summer dress, or a heavy jacket with a pair of denim shorts just doesn't make sense! Remember items like sunglasses or a great pair of sandals to "summer up" any items you're not sure about.
7. DON'T- Buy something just because its 'hot' this season.

The worst mistake a gal can make is dressing for trend and not for body type. There is usually a way to be able to work both but you must be mindful that not all looks work for all shapes and sizes.
8. DON'T- Overdress.

The nature of winter fashion seems a little more formal then summer styles, with the thicker fabrics, structured shapes and layered wearability. Summer is all about simplicity and less really can be more!
9. DON'T- forget your last summer purchases!

The chances you will be able to revamp an old favourite this season with something new is definitely high. We know its easy to forget what you have when you have packed it all away in winter.
 10. DON'T- Forget to spring clean!

A dreaded but necessary task! Set yourself aside an afternoon to complete mission: 'switch over the wardrobe'. Pack away the winter trackies and pyjamas and pull out the bathers and sun hats! You will be relieved how much space is freed up once all your winter items are stored away. There is nothing to make you feel more summery then a beautiful bright colour pallet and lovely light fabrics greeting you at your wardrobes door! You never know what could have gotten lost this winter.

Golden Rule: If ever in doubt pay the girls at Little Red Dress a visit to solve any summer wardrobe dilemma!
