Fashion Diary: June 2022

Long days, light nights – midsummer in Scandinavia calls for garden parties and endless days under the sun. As midsummer magic meets wedding season, dress up in light garments and flowy summer dresses, and always have a swimsuit handy for the occasion of a refreshing and romantic midnight swim.

Whatever your summer plans might be, you won’t go wrong with a go-to voluminous dress. The Iro Maxi Dress from the Swedish brand By Malina suits summer occasions from weddings to garden parties or late-night picnics by the sea. Wear it with strappy sandals for an elegant party look or boots to put an edge on the style. A straw hat on top adds a bit of extra cuteness!

A swimsuit that doubles as a top? Yes, please! Swedish label Scampi creates swimwear with a sustainable approach. Combined with a skirt or shorts, their swimsuits can easily double as an on-trend strapless top.

Even if the calendar says June, it can get chilly after that midnight swim and you might want to cosy up in a warm jumper. The Oslo Knit from Danish brand The Garment, in boiled wool, has an elegant boat neck and a boxy silhouette, making it perfect to throw over a summer dress.
