Equilibrio is off to the Littlegig festival next weekend and planning our outfits has been so much fun! It inspired us to share some summer weekend fashion ideas for your next outdoor market, picnic, festival or other fun in the sun event. Whatever you do though, remember to be sun safe!

MIDI SKIRTS

Floaty midi length skirts are great. They’re cool, comfy and you can plonk yourself on the grass without compromising your dignity. Great for layering, you can wear them with a pair of trendy sneakers to protect your feet from dust, or being stomped on. Backpacks are almost essential. They provide loads of storage and free your hands up for drinks or a parasol for some personalised shade.
