Olyne Wide Bermuda Shorts

€130 | The Frankie Shop

Bermuda shorts have become one of the defining pieces of the season and I can see why. This twill pair feels smarter than the denim or linen versions we've seen before, making them just as suited to the office as off-duty weekends. I'll wear mine with a fitted tee and a kitten heel.

Bombé Oversized Sunglasses

£540 | Phoebe Philo

I'm incredibly loyal to my Ray-Ban Wayfarers, so it takes a lot for another pair of sunnies to catch my eye. Phoebe Philo has always understood the power of accessories and these oversized aviators are a perfect example – understated but instantly recognisable. They'll add a more directional edge to everything from relaxed tailoring to a simple white tee and denim.

Bea Crepe Pants

£320 | Almada Label

I already own this set in cream, so I know how much wear I get out of it. The relaxed silhouette makes it feel easy, while the fluid fabric gives it a smarter finish than jersey co-ords. I'd wear it with silver jewellery and sandals now, before switching to loafers and a knit later in the year.

Little Halfmoon Soft Triomphe Bag

£1,950 | Celine

Michael Rider's creative leadership at Celine has been one of the biggest fashion success stories of the year and it's the accessories that have really put him – and the brand – back on top. This softly structured silhouette feels true to the house's heritage and in rich oxblood leather, it's the kind of timeless investment I'll carry for years.

Ribbed Organic Cotton-Blend Jersey Tank

£140 | Matteau

I never thought I'd spend this much on a white tank until I tried this Matteau one. The fit is what won me over – close without feeling restrictive, with a scooped neckline that's flattering without being too revealing. It's proof that the best foundational pieces tend to be the ones you overlook until you find the right ones.

Marine Keyhole Neckline Voile Shirt

£530 | Darkpark

Darkpark is one of my favourite recent discoveries. It has a talent for taking everyday staples and giving them just enough fashion credibility through clever proportions and subtle details. This keyhole top is the kind of piece that makes jeans feel more intentional.

The Charlotte Raffia Tote

£430 | LIÉ Studio

A raffia tote is one of those summer buys I think is genuinely worth the money because it works far beyond a beach holiday. Better known for its sculptural jewellery, LIÉ STUDIO has quietly built a beautiful bag line and I love this navy version as an alternative to classic straw. I'll add a silk scarf to the handle to make it feel a little more personal.

T-Strap Leather Flats

£410 | Toteme

Few brands do understated luxury quite like TOTEME. These sandals are so simple but the tomato-red leather gives them just enough personality to stand out. As someone who mostly wears neutrals, I'd use them to add colour to everything from black tailoring to crisp white cotton.
