Transeasonal Essentials

With all this crazy summer weather we’ve been having, it is impossible to know what to wear at the moment. Raining one minute, warm sunshine the next – you leave the house wearing the winter pieces you’ve dug out from the depths of your wardrobe, and come home wishing you had worn that new summer dress! Here at bod & ted we have come up with some of the essentials you need to suit our temperamental climate, and will see you right through until next season.

Whatever the temperature there is nothing more chic than a well-cut tee, paired simply with jeans or an elegant maxi skirt. American Vintage always delivers beautiful basics – the American Vintage Jacksonville Short-Sleeved Tee is perfect in the summery shade of Grapefruit to wear on its own when the sun shines, or layered with some light knitwear such as the Fine Collection Silk and Cashmere Sweater in Pomelo when the wind picks up.

If you want to keep your legs covered up in the chill , there’s no reason you can’t have some fun with your jeans! Printed denim has stood the test of time, proving they are no fashion fad! The people at NYDJ have bought this gorgeous snakeskin pair to our attention. The NYDJ Unigrey Python Print Jeans will look great with sandals and a vest now and fabulous with a jumper and statement boots when Autumn comes around.

Britain has a bit of a reputation for rain, which has contributed to the immense popularity of the classic trench coat in our country, and for good reason! It’s a great way to stay stylish in the showers, but works just as well as a light jacket all year round. This beautiful and hard-wearing Bruuns Bazaar Trench Coat in Camel is a smart investment for any woman, and will become a wardrobe favourite year on year.
