You can almost feel it already — sun on your face, food sizzling on the barbecue, music drifting through the air. Maybe you’re playing sports, chilling at the beach, or just relaxing in the shade. Either way, it’s time to get sorted with the right kit.
At Wordans, we reckon summer should be easy-going, fun, and full of good vibes. So we’ve got everything you need to enjoy it — clothing, gear, and those little extras that make the season even better.
Here’s your guide to this summer’s must-haves.
Outdoor BBQ Essentials: Grill & Chill
Is it even summer without the smell of burgers sizzling on the barbecue? Outdoor cooking is one of the best parts of the season — and with the right kit, you can seriously up your BBQ game. First on the list: a portable barbecue that’s small enough to take to the park or beach, but still strong enough to feed the whole gang. Perfect for weekend get-togethers or relaxed afternoons outdoors, it sets the tone for some proper good summer eats.
And the secret weapon? A multi-pocket BBQ apron packed with all the tools you need. We’re talking stainless steel tongs, a spatula, and more — neatly organised and right there when you need them. It saves you running back and forth to the kitchen, and makes you look the part as the go-to grill expert. Honestly, it’s the kind of thing that turns a simple barbecue into something a bit special.
Hats Off to Summer: Stay Cool
You might be thinking, “It’s just a hat.” But honestly — on a hot summer’s day, it can be a lifesaver. Helps you avoid sunburn, sorts out messy hair… all that. And the best bit? You don’t have to choose between staying cool and looking good. Here are the top picks for summer 2025:
- Bucket Hats – With their relaxed ’90s throwback vibe, bucket hats are perfect for festivals, road trips, or just adding a fun edge to your outfit. They’re lightweight, fold up easily, and come in loads of colours and prints to match your mood.
- Straw Hats – Nothing says you’re on holiday like a classic wide-brimmed straw hat. Whether you’re sipping iced coffee at a café or wandering through a seaside market, it keeps the sun off and your style spot-on.
- Classic Baseball Caps – Always a go-to, always in style. A good baseball cap works from morning walks to evening bonfires. Add your initials, logo, or a design you love for that personal touch
Sportswear Goals: Game, Set, Match
If summer, for you, means staying active and getting a bit competitive, then you’ll want kit that can keep up. Whether you’re out on the tennis court working on your serve, or walking the golf course chasing birdies, comfort and performance really matter.
Performance polos are a must — they’re breathable, help wick away sweat, and move with you, all while keeping you looking sharp. Team them with lightweight shorts or a skirt for an outfit that easily takes you from match time to a relaxed post-game brunch.
Don’t forget a golf umbrella — because British summer weather can flip in a flash. There’s no shame in turning up dry and stylish. Plus, a large, sturdy umbrella gives you some welcome shade when you’re waiting between holes or sets.
On sunnier days, visor caps strike the perfect balance between sporty and practical. They shield your eyes from the glare without making your head too hot — ideal for longer matches or afternoons in the sun.
And for a fun little extra? Go for a lip balm shaped like a golf ball or a tennis ball. It’s a cheeky touch that makes a great gift — or just something to brighten your kit bag before your next game.
Chill-Ready Comfort:
All-Day, Everyday Vibes
Not every summer day is full-on. Some are just meant for relaxing, taking it slow, and enjoying the warmer weather. And for those days, you’ll want to feel comfy while still looking put-together.
Start with an oversized T-shirt or tank top — soft, breathable, and easy to throw on whether you’re chilling at home, catching up with mates, or heading to the beach. Pair it with loose shorts or cotton joggers for that effortless comfort with a bit of style.
And don’t underestimate a good beach bag. It’s the perfect grab-and-go for your sun cream, snacks, water bottle, or a decent read. Make your own personalised bag or keep it simple with a clean, neutral look.
On your feet? You can’t beat easy slip-on sliders. They’re comfy, quick, and give off that relaxed summer vibe — whether you’re nipping out to the shops or heading to the pool.
When comfort meets casual style, summer just feels right.
