Summer is a season that expects much of us sartorially. We dress up for parties, New Year's and even for Santa, but dress down for long strolls on the beach or picnics in the park. Deciding what to wear at Christmas takes a lot of planning.
To save you some time, we've combined some upcoming clothing trends with complementary accessories from Simone's Australian Jewellery range to help you find the right ensemble.
Simone has a wide range of jewellery for summer outfit - from classic, intricate sea inspired accessories to simple yet sparkly pieces reflecting Australia's flora and environment.
Whether you're planning a summer holiday, looking for Christmas outfit ideas, or simply refreshing your summer style, we've got you covered. Read on for our favourite summer outfit ideas paired with beautiful jewellery to help you shine all season long.
Beach Outfits: Classic Elegance
It's inevitable that, over summer, many of us will get to the beach. For your beach outfit combine elegance and practicality by mixing cargo shorts (yes, the pocket ones) with a short jacket over a lace boho top. Think Carrie from Sex and the City, but without the heels. Plus the shorts are perfect for a paddle.
Add some pearls with the Fan Shell & Pearl Necklace and matching Fan Shell Earrings to foster inner peace and a sense of calm.
If you want to play up the beach theme you could instead round off the outfit with an Ocean Textures Silver Charm Bracelet and the matching beaded necklace.
Christmas Day Outfit
Get Santa's attention in a tomato red frock complemented by delicate Butterfly Wing Gold Dangle Earrings and a Wattle Wreath Golden Jade Beaded Necklace.
The intricate golden butterfly earrings move with you, gently swinging and sparkling, so they're perfect for dancing.
The golden beauty of the jade beads will contrast against the red, making you stand out from the crowd and shine. Wattle flowers reflect golden warmth and new beginnings, ideal for the festive season.
What to Wear for New Year's Eve
Firmly set your intention to head to the moon and stars in 2026 by matching Simone's classic Moon & Back Silver Locket with the Little Stars Chain Dangle Earrings.
Dress yourself up by layering pastels and lace over a full tulle skirt to live out your ballerina fantasy. If the skirt's long enough you can hide your golden slippers underneath.
Who knows; the locket and stars may become talismans to help fulfil your dreams for the new year.
Summer & Chill: Holiday Outfit Ideas
Set the mainsail and don some red and white Breton stripes in the form of a short-sleeve tee - we're headed for land and a barbecue on a sunny day.
Add a silk scarf for studied elegance and carry the nautical theme through with a Coral Silver Pendant on Red Agate Necklace and matching Coral Silver Hoops for some pirateish flare.
For an '80s look you can finish it off with parachute pants and a cute sailor hat. Or, if you want to avoid 'no hat no play' then shelter your face in a big, floppy hat - the Bouquet of Flowers Silver Necklace is ideal (and it will work a treat with the matching flowers silver charm bracelet).
These holiday outfit ideas will steal the show at any summery occasion.
