Off out? Opt for summer sparkles à la Sarah Corbett-Winder. Dial the look up for dinner with a thin strap top, or tone it down with a staple T-shirt, long-sleeved shirt or light knit.
Vintage-look whites aren’t just for table linens: we love the look of a broderie blouse. Pair with indigo or dark-wash jeans for an expensive look.
Add a delicate touch to a much-loved midi skirt and trainers look by accessorising with a delicate white or cream sock. It’s the perfect call if the weather isn’t sandal-appropriate. (Although, we sincerely hope it will be!)
It’s official: striped trousers are a perennial summer classic, best paired with ice-cream whites. Chic deckchair, optional.
Red jewellery – think accents of coral and carnelian beads – is trending for high summer. Trial the look by pairing with a classic blue or white linen shirt. (We’ll be getting the look with this double-wrap bracelet.)
Double denim? Don’t mind if we do! The always-appealing blue-on-blue outfit looks good no matter what the time of year, but if you’re looking for a summer upgrade pair an off-white shirt with a white or cream pair of denim shorts.
An Irish bank holiday still calls for good tailoring. Lean into a mannish cut, or indeed a nipped-in ladylike, blazer draped across your shoulders. It’s the perfect counterbalance for shorter hem lengths.
