Louche and luxurious, a pair of taupe suede loafers are the low-key cool shoe we didn’t realise we needed. Perfect for lounging – and coffee runs – on bright May days.

Capri pants are making a comeback and, while it’s a look that’s quite divisive, we do think the chicest way to trial the trend is with a streamlined black jacket and ballet flats: chic. 

If ever there was a case for minimal separates … we love style influencer Monikh Dale’s pairing of trusty black and mustard yellow, with this skirt and top combination. 

Choose a statement white blazer with a strong shoulder – it’s still the coolest way to nod to tailoring right now. Pair with point-toe heels and demi-flare jeans for a modern take on 2000s dressing. 

Speaking of suiting, a polo shirt layered under a two-piece suit is a cool take on sports luxe, whether you’re going for a classic Savile Row look or a maximalist striped rendition.

An architectural top – like this puff sleeve blouse from By Malina – is the perfect accompaniment to jeans and mesh ballet flats. Dial up the silhouette of your blouse by adding a narrow belt.

We love a simple but elegant black and white look, especially if it involves do-it-all tops and trousers that are hand-luggage friendly. 

In case you missed it, white skirts (along with white summer dresses) in natural fabrics such as cotton and linen are set to be big for summer. Wear yours with a black blazer now and upgrade to a cropped or quilted jacket as the season progresses. Plus, shop an edit of our favourite white skirts here.

The perfect blend of pretty and utilitarian, this ruffled blouse is a sweet accompaniment to the season’s cargo trousers.

The incoming summer has us dreaming of classic pieces fit for St.Tropez: think Breton stripes and boater hats, romantic mini dresses, box-fresh stripes and classic shades of navy, white and red.
