You don’t need to be a meticulous planner to start building your holiday wardrobe, rather it’s about taking the time to find the right pieces that work for you, that you can wear summer after summer. What’s new now? Clean lines, a simple palette of black and white, with hints of denim and beige, and plenty of natural textures. Look to Danish brand By Malene Birger, its summer collection, shot on the Greek island of Hydra, leans into striking shapes as well as do-it-all raffia bags, pictured below. Meanwhile, linen wide-leg trousers are set to be popular again this season (Massimo Dutti and Arket are great for these: the latter’s striped pair were a viral sell out year). Our advice? Get in there early and bag a pair before they go – because they will. Lastly, eschew the effort of micro lengths and embrace Bermuda style shorts, they will give your look a tomboy edge, and when paired with a romantic top, always look effortlessly cool.
