The Cool-Girl Brand
Waist Washed String Trousers, €459 | Frenken
I love everything about Frenken. They have this incredibly chic way of making clothes feel relaxed, modern and expensive without trying too hard. These washed ivory linen trousers are the perfect example: easy straight leg, slightly undone drawstring waist, an effortless summer energy that works for the city, on holiday and everything in between.

The Oversized Shirt
Oversized Checked Shirt, £73 | The Room Antwerp
This is one of those shirts I already know will end up permanently slung over a chair somewhere because I’ll wear it that much. I already have the style in red and navy, but the pink feels especially right for now. The oversized fit gives everything that slightly undone, cooler-than-you-meant-to-look energy that this brand does so well.

The Forever Piece
Dustbag Small Raffia & Leather Pouch £1,740 | Bottega Veneta
Calling a bag this beautiful ‘Dustbag’ feels deeply unserious in the best possible way. The woven leather and raffia intrecciato makes it instantly recognisable to anyone who cares about bags, without screaming logo. It’s a deceptively roomy clutch that fits far more in than it has any right to.

The Elevated Bag
The Shell Pouchette, £321 | Sloan
I’m already mentally assigning this bag to every summer dinner, holiday and breezy linen outfit I own. The shell detail, the tassel, the soft shape – it feels incredibly special and unlike anything else out there right now. This is one of those rare accessories that does all the talking without needing anything overly obvious.

The Holiday Sunnies
Rectangular Tortoiseshell-Effect Sunglasses, £69.95 | Massimo Dutti
Clean, sharp and without too much going on – these are the sunglasses equivalent of good lighting. The rectangular shape gives them structure without feeling severe, while the tortoiseshell keeps them softer and more wearable than a solid black frame.

The Classic Showstopper
Mae Shirt, $200 | ELCE
This is exactly the sort of piece that makes me love Elce. They take something classic and give it just enough personality to feel fresh without losing the ease of it. The shirt has that perfect oversized drape, a subtle textured stripe and contrast detailing that make it feel polished, relaxed and slightly directional all at once.

The Cool Trousers
Loe Pants, £120 | Life Of Ease
There is something about the washed terracotta stripe on these trousers that makes them feel far more interesting than the usual summer situation. Relaxed without looking sloppy, slightly nostalgic without feeling costume-y, they’ll work beautifully with a white tank, simple sandals and sun-kissed skin.

The Transformative Accessory
Lowell Wrap Belt In Leather, £223 | Kallmeyer NYC
This is the kind of accessory that makes simple clothes look far more considered. The bone leather, elongated ties and gold beaded detail give it that effortless, slightly design-led feel that transforms linen trousers, oversized shirting or a simple dress instantly.

The Summer Sandals
Jessie Thong Sandals, £148 | Reformation
Flat Leather Sandals, £39.99 | Zara
Metallic Funnel-Heel Sandals, £109.99 | Mango
Nothing changes the mood of a summer outfit faster than a great sandal. I rely on them to make simple looks feel cooler, fresher and more interesting without having to overthink anything else. All of these pairs are currently testing my self-control.
The Jeans
501® '90s Jeans, £100 | Levi’s
I’m a denim girl through and through, and I especially love a cream jean in summer. The Levi’s 501 ’90s have that perfect vintage shape – relaxed, straight, slightly baggy, but still incredibly flattering without looking too styled. They’re basically the dream thrift-store jean, minus the three-hour rummage and inevitable fitting-room identity crisis.
