Manchester was scorching earlier this week, and shoppers, graduates and city workers alike were all doing their best to dress for the heatwave. I’d opted for some loose denim shorts and a racerback crop top from H&M, with a lime green Stradivarius shirt to shield my shoulders from the sun. I’d snagged it in the sale at the Trafford Centre earlier this week, and was feeling smug about it.
It’s safe to say that most looked far more glam than I did, with hundreds of MMU students graduating in the city on Wednesday. Many of them took their families to St Peter’s Square to snap a photo later to be shared on social media, donning suits, co-ords and dresses under their cap and gown.
Others were dressed up for a night of celebrations in the city, and some were out meeting friends or running errands. Either way, the sunshine had brought with it some killer outfits, including monochrome co-ords and denim jumpsuits.
