Essential Summer Garments To Celebrate The End Of Lockdown

As the weather keeps getting warmer and lockdown finally draws to an end, we’re at last able to step outside and enjoy ourselves. Of course, the pandemic has taken its toll on everyone’s mental health, and after spending so many months under restrictions it might feel a little strange to start living our normal lives again. Surprising as it is, that’s where the power of clothing comes in, as the right outfit can help you feel ready to face the world once more.

Here we’ve curated just some of our many fabulous fashions to celebrate the end of lockdown, the middle of summer and the start of you feeling like yourself again. Here at Klass we’ve teamed up with the charity and money saving platform Savoo.co.uk to help raise donations for Mental Health UK – this summer, all purchases made via Savoo’s Klass discount codes page will raise a free donation for this excellent charity. After over a year of isolation and Zoom fatigue, it’s more important for our mental health than ever to get outside and start seeing our friends and family again. Whether you’re off for a picnic in the fields or hosting a barbecue in your back garden, it’s great to have a versatile garment like the Textured Longline Blouse. No matter the occasion, this is an excellent go-to when you just want something lightweight and chic to throw on so you can enjoy the day. Style it open as an extra layer or wear it with a belt as a dress, the choice is yours.

When we’re feeling low, it’s easy to gravitate towards the darker or more muted colours. However, looking good on the outside can do wonders to help us feel good on the inside, and dressing in bright, bold colours and patterns can magically bring a smile to your face. The relaxed yet flattering shape of the Bold Floral Printed Maxi Dress means you can wear it anywhere, and the stunning vibrant hues of red, pink and aquamarine are sure to make a statement. Not only will the gorgeous colours brighten your day, the eye-catching florals and newfound glow in your smile are also sure to attract all kinds of compliments. There’s nothing that lifts the spirits quite like a day at the beach. Whether you’re sunbathing on the sand, enjoying an indulgent ice cream or dipping your toes in the glittering waves, it’s all part of the perfect seaside experience. For days like these, the Bias Cut Tie Dye Maxi Dress is the quintessential beach dress. The floaty, lightweight fabric lets you make the most of the refreshing sea breezes, the colours reflect the gorgeous hues of the sea and sky and the flattering cut pairs beautifully with sandals and a sun hat.

It wouldn’t be the Great British summertime without a little rain. However, that’s no reason to spend the day stuck inside – our Chevron Print Waterproof Jacket has got you covered (quite literally). With its sleek shape, soft grey pattern and completely waterproof design, it’s the perfect jacket for braving rainy days. You might even find you prefer being out in the rain; after all, it’s nice and cool, there are fewer people around, you don’t get the sun in your eyes… what’s not to love? The muted tones of this jacket mean it pairs well with any outfit, but if you’d like to bring a splash of colour to the grey skies, you can opt for the vibrant hues of the Anna Rose Waterproof Spot Jacket instead.

Everyone knows that exercise is crucial to maintaining our mental health, and where better to get your daily steps in than the great outdoors? For something stylish yet practical and understated, our Striped Belted Stretch Shorts are just what you need. Made from stretch denim, these are comfortable enough for walking up a hill or cycling around the countryside and simple enough to pair with whatever shirt or blouse you’d like. Denim shorts are a summer staple of any wardrobe, and these are the perfect pair for dressing comfortably and soaking in the fresh air. One of the simplest things you can do to boost your mental health is to wear clothes that make you feel like you. If floaty skirts and dresses aren’t your thing but you still want to look smart for a summer party, try something a little different, like our Floral Printed Jumpsuit or these Anna Rose Floral Jersey Wide Leg Trousers. While you still get to wear cool, floaty fabrics and beautiful florals, you don’t have to compromise your own personal style.
