Suit up: a two-piece is all the cooler when it’s fashioned from lived-in leather. Pair with a simple tee and your favourite handbag.

A nicely lived in T-shirt is the perfect foil to a seasonally-appropriate midi-skirt. Wear with clogs for an off-duty chic vibe.

A quilted jacket and a straw basket are a worthy outfit combination in our eyes. Shop the best quilted jackets here. 

Don’t fear a bright and white outfit. Paler skintones should lean towards shades of bone and ecru. 

A promising bank holiday look? A colour-pop shoe. We love poppy red or mustard yellow best. 

Straight leg and slouchy fit denims always look effortlessly cool. This season’s jeans come with do-it-all pockets, too. Best accessorised with a glass of Sancerre.

Decamping to the kitchen? Roll up those sleeves – a mannish Oxford shirt is your go-to piece. 

Make like you’re in Provence and wear a jaunty headscarf. It will give you that healthy, just-picked-fresh-produce-in-the-kitchen-garden flush. 

Some artful layering will keep you chic and cosy while mooching about the house.

If the May temperatures don’t play ball with your favourite summer dress, then wear a sweater vest. 

Still a bit cold? Make like the fashion crowd and wear two sweaters. 

Break out a denim A-line skirt – it’s the perfect nod to summer’s utilitarian trend.

Let a fitted blazer elegantly upgrade your T-shirt and jeans look.
