CAKE Style With Us Episode #221

In this new Style With Us episode, the team at Urban Cachet is showcasing some seriously lovely pieces from CAKE, focusing on light, breezy cotton for those warmer days. These versatile tops and lightweight dresses are paired with some cracking basics from Foil and comfortable footwear from EOS and Loscabos.

Dee runs through her favourite picks, giving you the lowdown on fit and how to wear these stunners for summer.

The Casual Combo: Pure Cotton and Slimmer Silhouettes

Dee kicks off the segment wearing the CAKE Zimmi Top in Square Circle. This pure cotton top boasts a longer cut with a fashionable high-low hemline and a great sleeve length, making it a brilliant option for those who prefer to wear a slimmer leg pant. Dee is wearing a medium, finding the fit comfortable and flattering.

She pairs this vibrant top with the FOIL Split Enz Trapeze Pant in White.This is the shortest style in the popular Trapeze pant range from Foil, featuring a neat little side split at the hem. Dee wears a size 12, highlighting the comfortable flat elasticated back for a smooth fit.

This combination works because of the excellent neutral colourways. Dee then displays the other colour options available in the Trapeze pant: the versatile FOIL Split Enz Trapez Pant in Sand. and  FOIL Split Enz Trapeze Pant in True Navy (also known as Dark Navy), the new-season FOIL Split Enz Trapeze Pant in Basalt (which has been very well-received in other styles), and the essential FOIL Split Enz Trapeze Pant in Black. She points out that this particular length is a winner for shorter ladies, as it sits perfectly as a Capri length.

The look is grounded by the EOS Footwear Mentas Sandals in Birch Leather. Dee suggests that a neutral shoe, like these, helps to elongate the leg, which is always a bonus! Before moving on, she shows the alternative print for the top, the equally beautiful CAKE Zimmi Top in Birdie, confirming the lovely 'birdie' print detail.

Effortless Elegance: The Classic Shift Dress

Next up, Dee slips into a classic silhouette that CAKE brings back season after season: the Barbara Cotton Dress in Vintage Flower. It’s a beautifully simple shift shape, crafted from fine cotton that just skims the body.

This summer dress is all about the little details, featuring delicate embroidery around the neckline and sleeve edges. It’s a very simple, lightweight dress, ideal for a hot day. Dee also shows the Barbara Cotton Dress in Purple Block for those who favour a more solid colour block pattern.

A Fit and Flare Favourite

Dee’s third outfit is the Illiana Cotton Dress in Folk Flower. This sleeveless number has a lovely full, fit-and-flare skirt, which is both flattering and comfortable. She has the medium size on.

To complete the look, Dee adds the handy FOIL Headliner Shrug . It’s an excellent, fine linen piece that’s perfect for layering or adding a bit of arm coverage without being heavy. She mentions how useful it is for carrying in a handbag, as it scrunches up to nothing, making it a brilliant companion for those summer dresses.

The Illiana Cotton Dress is also available in the Square Circle print.

Footwear for this ensemble is the LOSCABOS Ashli Sandal in Dark Navy, a fantastic, comfortable all-rounder for everyday wear.

Breezy Cotton for Warm Weather

For her fourth look, Dee presents the CAKE Savita Cotton Dress in Vintage Flower. This summer dress features beautiful tacking detail around the neckline, which is nice and wide, avoiding a deep plunge. It has a semi-fitted bodice with a lovely flair dropping from underneath the bust, plus the essential side pockets.

Made from very light and cool cotton, this piece is perfect for those seriously hot days. The beautiful vintage flower print keeps the look fresh and vibrant.

Beach to Café Bliss: The Final Dress

Dee wraps up the style session with her final summer dress, the CAKE Seasonal Dress in Folk Flower. She absolutely adores this style, describing it as the perfect "beach to cafe" piece.

The lightweight style offers great sun protection, made from cool cotton in the vibrant Folk Flower print. It’s a winner for its beautiful colour combinations. For those who aren't keen on florals, this dress also comes in the Purple Block, which makes a really nice alternative.

She finishes the segment by showcasing the versatility and comfort of the LOSCABOS Ashli Sandal in Taupe, noting that it has a light padded sole and a comfortable Velcro closure, making it a great-value, everyday shoe. 

Throughout the video, Dee consistently wore a size medium in the CAKE pieces, noting the brand's great consistency in sizing across the range. The focus on breathable, high-quality cotton and linen ensures that every item presented is comfortable, light, and perfectly suited for the summer.

These pieces are great staples for building a relaxed, yet stylish, wardrobe. Each item featured in the video is linked for easy shopping.
