The Trends We Think Will Define This Summer

My beaded-sandal obsession started with a pair of chunky Jil Sander sliders I kept seeing all over Pinterest and hasn't really let up since. More recently, I've spotted fun, colourful but slightly daintier styles from brands like Ancient Greek Sandals and KHAITE, which feel just as chic but a little easier to wear day-to-day. They're the kind of shoe that somehow works with everything – adding a playful, unexpected twist to tailoring and naturally, coming into their own on holiday paired with cool beach looks, swimwear and pretty much anything else in your suitcase.

Crochet shorts are a summer trend I can definitely get on board with. I love how they can be thrown on with a vest top for beach days, yet become the centrepiece of an elevated evening look when styled with an oversized shirt and heels. They're also a great way to add more texture to my summer wardrobe, which I'm always looking to do.
