The Striped Shirt
This Zara linen, blue striped shirt is the perfect summer go-to. A real classic and hugely versatile, wear it open over your swimsuit, layer it over a strappy dress or smarten it up it with tailored trousers.
The Skirt
This pretty, white cotton skirt works perfectly for the summer months, worn simply with a white cotton t-shirt or a relaxed fitting vest and strappy sandals. If the weather is cooler, just add a fine soft knit and a mesh ballet flat. Keep the accessories to a minimum and let the skirt say it all…
The Raffia Clutch
I’ve been keeping my eye out for a summer clutch for some time and was delighted when I came across this lovely woven raffia and leather option from Sézane. It works perfectly from day to night and is roomy enough to fit all your handbag essentials.
The Striped Trousers Set
I love striped co-ords in the summer and this set from Claudie Pierlot hits all the right notes. A great investment as, apart from being worn together, the options when styling the pieces separately are plentiful. The shirt looks great tucked into denim shorts, jeans or tailored cream trousers, and you can wear the trousers with a simple white tee, vest and an oversized denim shirt.
The Jewellery Collection
London-based Completedworks sets the bar for statement jewellery. I love its mix of materials, which are primarily recycled in origin, and its pieces with clusters of pearls will elevate any summer outfit.

The Linen Co-Ord
Waistcoats are a big trend this summer and I love this khaki option from Mint Velvet complete with matching trousers. It offers easy, yet sophisticated, outfit options and I would elevate the look with statement jewellery and a raffia clutch or dress it down with thong sandals and a slouchy shoulder bag.
The Swimwear Brand
Vanessa Sposi not only creates beautiful swimwear but the brand is also ethically driven, with sustainability and being eco friendly its priorities. Even the liners are impregnated with natural antioxidants, aloe vera and vitamin E to soothe and nourish sun-kissed skin.

The Hat
A straw hat is an easy way for your summer wardrobe to feel more pulled together. With its contrasting bow, this extra wide brimmed option from Free People is not only chic but will also protect your face from any damaging rays.
The Quilted Jacket
This quilted jacket from Maison Hotel is a great way to add some colour to your summer wardrobe and will take you through until autumn when the weather gets cooler. Always a great addition to jeans and t-shirt, it’s a trend that is as practical as it is pretty.
The Holiday Shirt Dress
An oversized beach shirt is a must-have for summer holidays and can easily be thrown on at the beach or by the pool – and even take you to lunch. Voluminous and slouchy, roll the sleeves up and unbutton as far as you dare. It can be cinched in at the waist for a neater fit or left loose for a floaty feel.
The Summer Shoes Collection
Massimo Dutti is my go-to for many things and their summer shoe collection takes some beating. The low strappy cream heels keep catching my eye, as I could wear them to elevate the simplest of outfits. Or the braided ballet flats will nod to a trend but still look classic.
