Think sun-bleached doorways, lemons piled into market bags, and cocktails caught mid-clink by the pool. This season is all about print, colour and a little bit of holiday nostalgia — here's how we're wearing it.
Lemonade Stripes
There's nothing quite like a yellow and white stripe to make an outfit feel instantly like summer. Worn with a printed headscarf knotted at the crown and finished with a hand-embroidered sunburst patch, this tee is the sort of piece that turns a market run for lemons and oranges into an occasion in itself.
Pair it with denim shorts for the beach or tuck it into a linen skirt for something a little dressier come evening — either way, keep the accessories citrus-bright and the sunglasses oversized.
Golden Hour Palms
A burnt-orange palm print shirtdress is the kind of piece that does all the work for you. With its collared neckline, button-down front and self-tie waist, it moves effortlessly from a warm afternoon exploring old town streets to evening drinks with your feet still sandy from the beach.
The warm terracotta tone flatters every skin shade and pairs beautifully with woven sandals and gold jewellery for a look that feels equal parts holiday and heritage.
Blue Hour by the Sea
Cornflower blue and a scattering of ditsy florals make this sleeveless midi dress feel like the sky just before sunset. The notch neckline and gently gathered waist give it easy, all-day shape, while the flowing skirt catches the breeze on evening walks along the seafront.
Cat-eye sunglasses and tan leather sandals keep the styling simple, leaving the print to do the talking. It's an effortless choice for anywhere from a coastal town dinner to a Brighton beach walk.
Poolside in Ric-Rac
A cream shirt with hand-embroidered fruit motifs and colourful ric-rac trim brings a retro, seaside-postcard charm to poolside dressing. The relaxed collar and button-down front make it just as easy layered over swimwear as it is worn open over a vest and shorts.
It's the kind of piece that looks completely at home next to a green-striped parasol, a coconut in hand, and absolutely nowhere to be for the rest of the afternoon.
However You Wear It
Summer styling isn't about one look — it's stripes at breakfast, palms at golden hour, ditsy florals at dusk, and ric-rac by the pool. Whichever mood you reach for, let the print lead and keep the rest easy. That's the whole point of the season.
