The cleverest of summer shoppers know that this time of year is all about pieces that can flex, no matter where you find yourself. If you make an investment in a mid-range dress that nods to the look of the moment (see Jigsaw’s waistcoat dress in a safari-approved shade of brown, below) you certainly don’t want it to be a one hit wonder. That’s why the best buys have a polish that can carry them through warm days at home – coffee runs, work days, summer events – but will also stow neatly in your carry on. Also on that list are; T-shirts with a cap sleeve, rather than tank tops or vests, woven bags that have structure, lightweight cotton and linen blouses with long sleeves (perfect for chilly Irish days), city shorts that stretch towards the knee (styled with a leather belt at home, then something beaded and bohemian on holidays), plus dresses that are airy without being too relaxed (we love the & Other Stories one, below). Lastly, no matter where the next few months take you, you can inspire a holiday mood with a jaunty beaded necklace that fosters some nostalgia for carefree sunny days.
