here.Welcome the new season into your wardrobe with ditsy florals, bold colour and the must-have shoes to see you through the warmer months
Slipping on a joyful floral dress will really make you feel like summer is just around the corner. It heralds the start of longer, brighter days, trips to the park, lazy al fresco meals and a new optimistic mood. Choosing a dress with longer sleeves, such as this gorgeously ditsy print number is perfect for now when the sun is not ALWAYS guaranteed to shine. Team with chunky boots as a nod to the current nineties grunge-lite revival and then switch up for mules or sandals once the sun really starts to shine. Throw over a classic stonewashed denim jacket on chillier days and you’re ready for pretty much anything.
Warmer weather calls for a more relaxed approach to dressing. Push darker, more structured clothing to the back of your wardrobe and lighten up your mood in refreshing new colours – lime green is the one to watch this season. These denim boyfriend-style shorts are a must for busy days on the go, with a loose leg shape and stretchy fabric, they’re perfect for striding about in. And remember, shorts are just not for taking on holiday, they can be a winning alternative to a skirt, and much airier than trousers when the weather begins to heat up.
Slipping into your first pair of open-toed shoes can feel pretty daunting after the long winter months (note to self: book a pedicure NOW), but we have a whole range of gorgeous sandals and mules to tempt you out of your black opaque tights. We love these shocking pink clogs, made from textured leather with a block heel. Perfect for adding a pop of colour to even the most dialled-down of outfits, they don’t take themselves too seriously, which is exactly what summer shoes should be all about.
