A statement kaftan is often an investment, but it’s one that will pay dividends for years to come. Look for a classic summer print and flattering colours. This one, pictured, gets the seal of approval from Irish stylist Jess Colivet, who has collaborated with luxury brand Rae Feather on a kaftan dress that’s both comfortable and stylish – it’s a buy that will gain poolside points.
In case you missed it, there’s a strong sailor aesthetic bubbling under the surface of the trend-sphere. The best part is that the look is so timeless, it won’t date like many summer trends will. How to wear it? Think A-line shapes, all-weather, long-sleeved marinière tops, square-neck sundresses and crisp white Mom shorts that stretch towards the knee (shop an edit of our favourite nautical-inspired pieces here).
Don’t underestimate the joy of a great statement earring. Especially when paired with neutral wardrobe staples like a beige blazer and a white sundress. It’s the perfect way to add a shot of maximalism to your outfit.
Is there anything cooler than slouchy co-ords? Whether it’s blue and white stripes, subtle pinstripes or au naturel linens, a waistcoat-and-trousers set is a nod to summer dressing that feels a bit rock and roll. We can imagine Kate Moss in this tailored two-piece, pictured.
Lightweight knit, check. Fisherman sandals, check. Woven bag, check. This minimalist outfit is also a low-key nod to summer’s most-wanted pieces.
On the other side of the coin, head-to-toe stripes is always a good idea if you’re looking to dip a toe outside of the roster of summer outfits which can start to feel a bit same-y. Look to style influencer Carol Morais, who layers up statement patterns with aplomb, as your inspiration.
If in doubt, a white broderie dress, wedged espadrilles and a straw bag make for the perfect July look.
The minimalist’s way to do colour? With chic grey-blues or bright shots of red. Keep the rest of your look neutral with white crease-front trousers, beige loafers and navy knits.
On those days where the weather feels more April than July (of which there are many right now), a great trench paired with crisp white jeans are the ultimate pairing. A pair of strappy sandals will add a summer touch to your look.
In need of packing inspiration? Style influencer Vilma Bergenheim makes the case for sticking to one colour palette so you can mix and match looks to your heart’s content. (We love that off-white T-shirt and white dress combination.)
