Discussed in this SWU episode
A beautiful new delivery from Lula Life has just landed at Urban Cachet, and this week Dee pulls together four easy summer outfits from the drop. Every Lula Life piece in the episode is pure cotton, mixing soft plain colours with bold, joyful prints that feel made for long, warm days. Dee wears a medium throughout the Lula Life range, so it is easy to see how each shape sits and moves.
The edit is all about comfort without giving up on style. There are relaxed pants with a soft leg, tees that sit away from the body when the temperature climbs, and two standout pieces with braid trim and tassel ties that show just how much care has gone into the finish. Comfy EOS sandals and a few favourites from Foil round out the looks.
A Matching Print Set for Effortless Summer Dressing
The episode opens with the Colette top in navy, worn with the matching Colette pant. Dee loves the sleeve length on this top. It is soft and roomy and does not grip around the elbow, which makes it comfortable on a hot day. There is a neat seam detail, good coverage across the chest, little gathers for shape and a button back. The length works particularly well over a fuller pant, which is exactly what the Colette pant offers.
The pant has a soft, straightish leg that is not too wide, front pockets and a higher waist that is elasticated for comfort. Worn together, the two pieces make an easy matching set that still looks put together. The Colette top also comes in a melon colourway, which Dee suggests would look beautiful with white for a fresh, cool summer outfit.
On her feet, Dee has the EOS Bario sandal in brandy leather. She cannot say enough about how comfortable EOS is. The sandal is generously padded in soft leather and sits at a very wearable heel height of around four centimetres.
Outfit 1
- Top: Colette Top in Navy (size M), also in Melon
- Pants: Colette Pant in Navy (size M)
- Shoes: EOS Footwear Bario Sandal in Brandy Leather
A Cool Cotton Tee with a Clever Back
For the second look, Dee keeps the Colette pant on, this time in the pretty sky colourway, and pairs it with the Holly t-shirt in espresso. The front is a soft cotton knit and the back is a light cotton voile, so it stays cool and breathable while sitting right off the body. The dropped shoulder means there is no set-in seam at the shoulder, which suits a wide range of shoulder widths.
Dee prefers a darker top with the sky pant, but the Holly t-shirt also comes in navy, sky and white, so it is easy to choose a shade that suits your wardrobe. All of them share the same soft voile back, and they are very well priced too.
She also takes a moment to show the OKKIA sunglasses. These polarised frames are designed in Italy, come in several shapes and are a smart addition to any summer bag. The EOS Bario sandal stays on to finish the outfit.
Outfit 2
- Top: Holly T-Shirt in Espresso (size S), also in Navy, Sky and White
- Pants: Colette Pant in Sky (size M)
- Shoes: EOS Footwear Bario Sandal in Brandy Leather
- Accessories: OKKIA Sunglasses
Braid Trim, Tassels and a Best-Selling Pant
The third outfit features the Bella Vista top, and the attention to detail here is lovely. A braid trim runs around the arms and neckline, and small ties at the front finish with pretty tassels. The sleeves are soft and three-quarter length, there is shirring elastic at the back for comfort, and the fabric is a fine, light cotton voile with a bold print. Dee wears the blueberry colourway and also shows the tangerine, admitting it was hard to choose between the two.
Because the top is loose and easy, Dee pairs it with a narrow leg: the Foil Fuss Free pant, Foil's best-selling style. She wears the navy in a size 12, and the pant is also well stocked in black, barley and sable, with more white arriving in early December. A comfy cream wedge sandal completes the look.
Outfit 3
- Top: Bella Vista Top in Blueberry (size M), also in Tangerine
- Pants: Foil Fuss Free Taper Trapeze Capri Pant in True Navy (size 12), also in Black, Barley, Sable and White
A Holiday-Ready Maxi Dress
The final look is the Bella Vista maxi dress in tangerine. It is called a maxi, but on Dee it falls more like a midi. Splits at the side give it movement, and it simply says hot weather and holidays. The same braid trim from the top appears here, and there is a button at the neckline that can be done up or left open. Dee likes it undone.
Because of the cut, a halter bra, bandeau or strapless bra works best underneath, or it could be worn straight over swimwear for a day at the beach. Dee also shows the blueberry colourway, and she wears a medium in this Lula Life dress, which is pure cotton like the rest of the range.
