Most of these outfits get you ready for literally anything you are faced with in the city, from writing through running errands to meeting friends - well, the rest will do for rolling in the mud. Apart from a few extreme Friday dress-downs, this is where you shamelessly road-test trends, revel in a blogger's paradise, or make things really simple and casual, with a view to pretending to be smart if needed. Easy or intricate, shocking or cute, it's in this batch where you have the most fun exploring things for yourself.
While I have included both published funnies and exclusive blurries, I mean outfit snaps taken in the summer, there's nothing like following streams live on Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter.
