With denim, Claudia Schiffer's flared pants and knitted top prove that you can depend on this classic wardrobe staple, regardless of the season's conditions.
In the unpredictable summer weather, finding the right outfit that balances style and practicality can be a challenge. However, fashion icon Claudia Schiffer offers some inspiration for rainy summer outfits, pairing jeans with chic tops and stylish rain-appropriate outer layers.
For a brunch-ready outfit, consider knitted tops styled with flared jeans, like Claudia Schiffer's look featuring a wiggle-stripe swing top by ME+EM, blue Chloe flared jeans, and a woven bag. The neutral color of the designer lookalikes works well with various outfits, making them a comfortable choice for the summer months. The wavy lines and scalloped edge on the striped top give it a contemporary new spin, while ruffles on the soft woven top add shape and definition, providing extra coverage.
Layered t-shirts, such as a short-sleeved tee under an elbow-length one, offer breathable yet protective layers. Katie Holmes' outfit featuring denim dungarees and two black layered tees exemplifies a stylish, practical way to stay comfortable and dry while pairing with jeans or similar denim bottoms. Look for lightweight long-sleeve tops or knitwear in breathable fabrics that provide some warmth without overheating.
A simple tank top layered under an outer garment (like a trench coat recommended for rainy, hot weather) works well to keep cool while being ready for showers. Since jeans will get wet at the hem, pairing tops with a protective but stylish rain jacket, trench coat, or chore jacket in water-resistant fabric adds both style and function to the rainy summer look. The top can be kept light underneath these layers.
The oversized basket bag has been a favourite among the fashion set, and it can be a versatile addition to any rainy summer outfit. Claudia Schiffer's outfit was completed with the Natacha sandals and the Justine Basket Bag, both by French clothing brand Sezane. The braided style of the sandals is also available in gold, and the leather pair can sit well with wide-leg jeans or finish a floral dress.
Striped tops have a preppy yet playful feel and are suitable for a wide range of occasions. The striped top is now reduced in the ME+EM sale and is available in a chocolate and cream colour palette. Layering striped tops under a blazer, tucking them into a color pop skirt, or pairing them with tailored trousers is possible, making them a versatile choice for your wardrobe.
In summary, the best tops to wear with jeans for rainy summer conditions are knitted or layered lightweight tops that allow airflow but offer some warmth, combined with a rain-appropriate outer layer for full protection. Classic tees, breathable knits, or sleeveless tops layered under jackets balance style with practicality in warm rainy weather.
