5 Pieces for your summer wardrobe
From summer dresses to women’s linen separates and seersucker or hemp co-ords, we’ve got a look to cover every kind of summer socialising.
THE SUMMER DRESS
Garden party season is in full swing – calling for chic yet casual ensembles in cooling fabrics. The Andros, from our Lucy Williams collection, is the perfect summer dress in every way. In a crisp white or rich mocha brown, and made from fine poplin that gives it structure. Wear the white version layered over our Sifnos trousers for a look that’s cool, collected and ready for a barbecue (or aperitif).
CASUAL CO-ORDS
Running late for a brunch date? A seersucker shirt’s clever stripe and subtle texture will hide the ‘just run out of the door’ look. Team with matching shorts and sandals for relaxed weekend style or denim shorts and loafers to dress it up a little. A crease-resistant staple – it’s perfect for packing into your carry-on too.
linen tailoring
Nothing says summer in the city better than linen tailoring. Where sharp silhouettes meet warm-weather texture, team linen trousers with a simple t-shirt and matching linen blazer for a pulled together look. Our linen shorts lend themselves perfectly to workwear for warmer days, while a navy shirt paired with tailored linen cigarette trousers complete a look that can take you from morning meetings to rooftop cocktails.
THE BLOUSE
Hit reset with a weekend away accompanied by easy-to-pack blouses like the Rye, the Kew and the Portlligat from our Lucy Williams collection. Mix and match with multiple short styles by day, then team with tailored trousers, layer under a cotton knit when the temperature dips, or work with a pair of jeans for summer evenings spent in country pub gardens.
The Maxi Dress
For days combing the coast there’s nothing more fitting than a linen dress with a maxi length. The Blenheim and the Birley are statement maxi styles that work perfectly as a beach cover up or some extra length for sundowners.
THE COTTON KNIT
The perfect layer to throw on for a balmy evening, once the sun goes down or even just behind a cloud. From the cropped style of the Devon to the more relaxed cut of the Cornwall, our cotton knits are light and layer effortlessly over dresses, shirts, simple tees and everything in between.
