The Bag
Junoe Small Beaded Wristlet Grab Bag, £34 | Topshop
The gold beading on this Topshop bag makes it look far more expensive than it is – the neat wristlet shape adds an elegance that would work just as well at a wedding as it would on a night out.

The Short
Sandy Shorts, £168 | Reformation
Bermuda shorts are one of our favourite trends and these Reformation ones take the look somewhere new. In metallic red, they look seriously expensive – pair them with a white tank and kitten-heel sandals and you'll be able to go from day to night seamlessly.

The Dress
Satin Voluminous Mini Dress, £39.99 | Zara
It's all in the tailoring with this mini – the exaggerated hip detail and satin-finish fabric give it a real sense of occasion. A must for summer cocktail events and a strong option for any brides looking for something a little different.

The Bandeau
Arina Top, £145 | Sézane
When a dress feels too obvious, this is the answer. Sézane's red ruffled bandeau paired with trousers makes just as much of a statement – and feels far more unexpected.

The Clutch
Beaded Fruit Mini Bag, £45.99 | Zara
Everyone needs a novelty bag and this Zara beaded pineapple version is our current favourite. The bronze and black beading gives it an unexpected richness that makes it feel particularly special.

The Broderie Blouse
Clie Shirt, £140 | Sézane
Sézane never misses when it comes to romantic silhouettes and this blouse is no exception – the oversized collar gives it a feminine feel and sets it apart from anything else on the high street.

The Windbreaker
Pocket Detail Zip Up Jacket, £55 | Topshop
A lightweight jacket is a summer non-negotiable and this Topshop windbreaker is our top pick right now. Wear it over mini shorts with heels for a sports-luxe look that feels very YSL.
