Northern European summer dressing

I tell you, dressing for the Northern European summer is a careful and intelligent study in smart layers and adaptability.

I feel like I'm getting there with my summer collection, but there's more to do.

There are two key traps I can see, which are very easy to fall into

1. Wishing the weather was consistently warmer, and only making outfits for this fiction

2. Ending up wearing your non-summer gear, in non-summer colours or fabrics, that just don't work.
