Warm mornings WFH mean rising earlier than usual, filling the coffee pot and wrapping a soft and floaty gauzy garment around our nightclothes, before drifting out to the garden to smell the roses. In light cotton, linen, even silk, wraps, robes, peignoirs and kimono-style cover-ups make us feel leisured, rich, wafty. Choose prints that brighten your morning without sounding an alarm bell – overblown floral and tropical patterns in soft shades will lift the mood as surely as a sun salutation. Let these lighter-than-air interpretations of the housecoat define midsummer mornings – and don’t forget to pack your favourite when heading on staycation too, no one wants to get caught short in the morning, especially when holidaying with friends and family!
