The Versatile One-Piece
This swimsuit will be a hardworking item in your August wardrobe as it’ll double up as a glamorous body in the evenings. Pair it with some tailored linen trousers and a metallic kitten heel (like the ones below) for an easy after-dusk look.
The Statement Earrings
Because when else can you wear shell jewellery?
The Bright Cover-Up
This season has seen the return of the sarong, which is the ultimate holiday must-have. This bright orange one will bring a big hit of colour to your beach wardrobe.
The Statement Sunglasses
A classic pair of sunglasses is an essential in August. Retro shapes are always a timeless buy, so you’ll be packing them in your suitcase for many summers to come.
The Breezy Throw-On
Lily has just invested in this dress and it’s the perfect lightweight piece to simply throw on and go! Slip it on over your bikini to instantly feel more put together.
The Colour-Pop Sandals
A pair of sturdy daytime slip-on sandals are a must-have. Like us you probably already own a neutral pair of Birkenstocks, so this summer we’re investing in a colourful addition to our wardrobes.
The Beachy Jewellery
Summer is the perfect time to be a little bolder with your jewellery pieces. Case in point is this anklet, which combines wood with enamel beads for a laid-back boho look.
The All-Rounder
This bright blue dress is similar to a DÔEN one we’ve all been lusting after in the office, but with a high-street price tag. Its versatility means it’ll see you through summer from beach days to city dressing to summer events and more.
The Linen Separates
Waistcoats are now a mainstay of our wardrobes and a linen piece can be the perfect way to add a little structure to your summer or holiday wardrobe. Pair this one with an off-white slip skirt for easy warm-weather style.
The Structured Summer Bag
Nothing says summer like a raffia bag. The structured moon shape of this one means it’s slightly more formal, making it ideal for city wear or evening looks.
The Summer Co-Ord
A good co-ord that can be worn in multiple ways makes getting dressed in the morning easier and increases options when packing too. This sunshine-yellow hue with tonal stripes epitomises summer.
The Elevating Sandals
A metallic kitten heel is a must for balmy evenings. They’ll go with your whole wardrobe and instantly lift any outfit.
