Summer Solstice or Mid Summer, marks the longest day and shortest night of the year and the first day of summer. This long-running tradition has been celebrated since ancient times by cultures all across the world. Summer Solstice is observed at a time when food and nature are in abundance, and festivities focus on the life-giving powers of the sun. Festivities include lighting a bonfire, outdoor feasts, singing, and dancing on MidSummer’s Eve.

Traditional Summer Solstice Fashions:
Traditionally, flower crowns were worn to ward off malevolent spirits along with bright, vibrant colours like yellow, white, and gold, to reflect the sun's radiance. Floral patterns, representing nature and freshness, and flowy, lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton were common as well.

To capture the vibrant shades of summer solstice, we’ve put together a selection of bright and vibrant fashions set for the joyous occasion.
