Essentials To Create An Elegant Summer Look

Ladylike linen, cool hats and beachy accessories to inspire your look …

LADYLIKE LINEN

Linen is a huge trend again this summer. Embrace SS25’s nipped-at-the-waist ladylike silhouette with an elegant two-piece. Take inspiration from slow fashion brand Posse and style with a top-handle basket bag, statement hat and sunglasses. Red Matilda linen vest, €305; matching skirt, €285; both Posse at www.mytheresa.com.

STRAW POLL

Whether you’re going to a wedding or the races, hats lend an air of vintage-style glamour – particularly pillbox styles. Raffia is trending again this year. We recommend starting with your outfit and then choosing the hat, not the other way round. Pair with vintage-stye earrings for added drama.

FLOATY COVER-UPS

Capes are less costume-like when they are cut to elbow-length; perfect for covering the tops of arms and shoulders. Zara has chiffon and fringed versions, from €29.95, while Needle & Thread’s embellished tulle cape, €379, is ideal for those looking for a little more drama. Image; Chanel.

BEACH ACCESSORIES

COCKTAIL NAPKINS

Cocktails simply taste better when paired with chic napkins. A fun conversation starter, think monogrammed miniatures and hand-embroidered linen squares. Image; @__abask__
