“A jumpsuit is the perfect option for summer in the city. I’d wear this one to festivals, barbecues and beyond. It’s really soft and breathable thanks to the plant-based Tencel fabric. I have chosen a size up for a more relaxed fit and have paired the jumpsuit with flat sandals to create an easy casual look. In the evening, I would dress it up by adding Nineties-inspired ‘barely there’ strappy sandals, a clutch and my go-to gold hoops.”

“A linen shirt is ideal for summer dressing. For work, team it with tailored shorts and heels, then dress it down with sandals for soaking up the sunshine in the park. Linen is lightweight and relaxed in a smart way, making it my go-to option on warm days or when I’m packing for a sunny getaway. I’ll be styling this shirt many ways on my upcoming holiday to Turkey: open over swimwear, knotted at the waist with skirts and, of course, tucked into a great pair of shorts.”

“This pretty blouse features a woodblock-style paisley print and delicate real shell buttons. The light and airy cotton fabric makes it perfect for summer, tucked into white or cream denim. One of the best things about being an M&S Insider is getting to try new things and step outside of my comfort zone when it comes to my style, so I’ll try dressing this blouse up with the button-down denim mini skirt from the collection, or even the linen shorts.”

“I love a classic shirt dress – they’re so easy to wear and the fit is super flattering. This one features a paisley print in a monochrome palette, so it’s eye-catching but not OTT. I’ll be teaming it with sandals for summer, ankle boots (such as this on-trend tan Western pair) for autumn and knee-high boots and tights for winter. It’s a real year-round winner.”
