I'm completely obsessed with the red linen dress from Second Summer – the belted waist and wide sleeves give it such a relaxed feel and it's exactly the kind of piece I'll be reaching for all season long. Red is the colour of the moment and this is one of the most wearable ways to wear it. For accessories, I wanted to have a bit of fun. The shell necklace is a real statement piece and this Alaïa crochet bucket bag is stunning. The sculptural bangle adds a luxe touch – I always wear more gold in the summer. Lastly, the cat-eye sunglasses and TKEES flip-flops are effortless finishing touches.

I’ve been living in the butter yellow Lorela dress from my RIXO x Billie Bhatia collection because it works for so many different scenarios – from casual lunches to evenings out, plus it’s both office and beach appropriate. I also love these denim kitten heels from Zara – they pull out the blue from the RIXO necklace that I’ve also not taken off – and this Cult Gaia beaded bag screams summer. Finally, what is any warm-weather outfit without sunglasses? These Jimmy Fairly frames might not be the main event but they complement everything you wear them with.

The Helsa overalls are genuinely one of my favourite pieces this summer – there's something about the mix of feminine detailing and that easy, relaxed shape that just feels exactly right for now. I'd layer a gingham blouse underneath to lean into that whole farmhouse-meets-coastal vibe, then pull it back with a metallic ballet flat and chunky silver jewellery to stop it tipping into too-cute territory. Cornwall, a harbour, a long lunch – that's the outfit sorted.

If I could only pack one outfit this summer, it would be something like this: an easy shirt dress with woven sandals, a striped basket bag, colourful shell jewellery and a lightweight knit for later. Comfortable, polished and ready for everything from sightseeing to seaside lunches.

My summer wardrobe has always been made up of the same things: effortless pieces that work from morning to night and survive being packed in a suitcase without needing an iron. Right now, that means slip dresses – my biggest obsession – and I can't get enough of smaller, 90s-inspired sunglasses – a far cry from the oversized 70s styles I used to wear. This olive silk halter dress ticks every box; I'd style it with the Maximova daisy hoops and a Ganni zebra-print bag for a bit of contrast. Finally, the Gucci bamboo heel mules are the kind of shoe that adds just enough polish without sacrificing comfort.
