Petro | Co-founder and COO
“Come summer, I live in maxi shirt dresses. Cool, effortless, and endlessly versatile, they work just as well with sandals by day as they do dressed up for dinner. In my eyes, they’re the ultimate summer-in-the-city staple.”
Polly | Fashion Director
“I love a chunky sandal simply paired with tailoring and a crisp white t-shirt or tank top. These high-shine brown Birkenstocks, finished with gold hardware, strike the perfect balance between chic and comfortable.”
Phoebe | Social Media Manager
“I love the detailing on this collar and sleeve on this linen shirt, I’d style it with cargos or on weekends a pair of denim shorts.”
Lily | Fashion Newsletter Editor
“This summer, I’ll be investing in beautifully tailored linen pieces. Effortless by nature and refined in feel, they’re exactly the kind of wardrobe staples that make dressing for warmer days feel easy.”
Elizabeth | Junior Content Writer
"Commuting into London during the summer is not an easy task, as it could be 35 degrees outside but 10 degrees on my train. Light layers are essential, and I love the full sleeves on this cotton jacket, which will instantly elevate everything from jeans to linen dresses."
Emma | Partnerships & Business Development Director
“The pleated front gives these trousers a more polished feel, while the cropped length keeps them fresh for summer. I’d style them with a crisp blue shirt and woven flats for an easy office look that still feels considered.”
Georgie | Newsletter Editor
“I’m looking forward to switching up my office footwear as the weather gets warmer, and these Prada leather slippers are the perfect balance between comfort and luxury. The backless design means I can go sockless and team them with skirts – a great polished option for summer.”
Alex | Creative Assets Co-ordinator
“Wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics to work in the summer is essential, which is why I have my eye on this skirt. I think it’ll be so flattering and effortless to style - easy to throw on with a T-shirt, plus a shirt layered over the top for an air-conditioned train journey.”
