Thanks to the nice weather at the weekend, our heads are firmly in summer mode. If you’re plotting an end-of-summer escape – or are firmly in denial about September’s impending approach as you settle back into your desk – take inspiration from these easygoing outfits that will spark joy.

Sunshine in a dress! There’s still time to enjoy sundowners at home in the evening – wear your favourite summer dress for extra joy.

This pretty sunflower print by Bernadette Antwerp is made for hazy end-of-summer days but the long sleeves, floor-skimming length and muted tones mean it will work just as well paired with chunky boots and a knit for autumn. 

Relaxed waffled fabrics will continue to offer that laidback holiday feeling long after your tan has faded.

What you wear for the weekly shop in Supervalu doesn’t require quite as much thought as your outfit for a daily stroll through the marché, but you can still carry your best tote bag when picking up essentials – be sure to grab a crusty baguette and your favourite Chablis for best results.

If you’re still in WFH mode, you’ll need to keep up appearances with business on top, but there’s no need to slip out of your Havaianas just yet… we’re still holding out hope for an Indian summer.
