In the UK, we have a limited number of weeks to think about dressing for super-warm weather. Layering we have down, and naturally, we find it hard to let go of our jackets even if the forecast is predicting a heatwave because "you never know.” This is why, often, it’s best to look to countries that are more accustomed to dressing for high summer for inspiration—and of course, Australia is one of them. With the likes of Zimmerman, Aje and Alémais all coming from Down Under, you can always find some summery outfit ideas when browsing Aussie brands. And there’s one that’s proving particularly popular among fashion people this summer: Deiji Studios.
Founded in 2016, the conscious lifestyle brand focuses on luxe linen bedding and loungewear that can also be worn out of the house. Its shirt-and-short sets are especially in-demand right now, which is no surprise given how popular this easy outfit has become this summer. Monikh Dale and Jessica Skye are among the style influencers who have already been spotted embracing the lightweight, easy breezy styles, and obviously, now we want a set too. Keep scrolling to see how to style them, and shop the latest sets.
Style Notes: Who What Wear contributor Jessica is the ultimate minimalist muse. Keeping the beige shorts set fuss-free, the style influencer adds sharp cat-eye sunnies with a staple Loewe basket bag and lace-up sandals. Simple yet so effective.
Style Notes: Sticking with the loungewear vibe, Monikh shows how effortless this duck-egg-blue set looks with a tonal bralette. Anything to beat the heat, right?
Style Notes: Make the linen sets look more put together by tucking in the shirt. India keeps it premium with a tennis necklace and that Prada tote bag.
Style Notes: One of the many joys of a shorts co-ord is the multiple styling opportunities to be had. Tanice illustrates how to wear the shorts as a separate with a bikini top and white linen shirt. We'll add this to our copy-and-paste summer outfit list.
