With shorts, a little oversized and in a fine knit, the long-sleeved sweater has this look effortless that we all dream of embodying. The contrast between flip-flops, flip-flops if you prefer the term, shorts and a long-sleeved sweater is really the outfit perfect for going out for coffee with friends or any occasion where you want to be “that girl”.

You can also use it for layering, to create a look that will make others want to do the same.

It’s also perfect for going from day to evening at a festival, with the temperature dropping once the sun disappears.

The little extra for a foolproof top is to choose a flared sleeve and not tightened at the wrist, to let air circulate and elevate your look. Long-sleeved t-shirts can be found in both men’s and women’s wardrobes.

We’re definitely making it our summer uniform!
