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 gear, you can seriously up your BBQ game. Whether you’re hosting a weekend cookout or enjoying a relaxed afternoon outdoors, the right tools make all the difference.

The secret weapon? A multi-pocket BBQ apron packed with everything you need to master the grill. We’re talking stainless steel tongs, a spatula, and more — all neatly organized and ready to go. No more running back and forth to the kitchen. You stay in command, looking the part and cooking like a pro. 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.
  • Sun Hats – Nothing says you’re on holiday like a classic wide-brimmed sun 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.

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 cooler bag. It’s the perfect grab-and-go for keeping your drinks chilled, your snacks fresh, and your summer vibe going strong. Go for a personalized design or keep it classic with a clean, neutral look.

When comfort meets casual style, summer just feels right.
