My summer style guide

Having spent time over the years, building a wardrobe that I want to wear again and again, I tend to wear similar items every summer, and only invest in a few pieces to keep my closet fresh. I therefore have a few go-to brands that have aided me in my warm weather style decisions, so I have created a summer shop selection to help you with yours! It is now live here. But before you head over to the shop, I’m going to share a few of my favourite brands, summer staples and what I currently have in my shopping basket to inspire your next investment purchase for summer.

My summer staples and favourite brands

One of the main items is of course a basket bag, not just because I live in Paris and any Parisian worth their salt will have a good basket bag a la Jane Birkin, but they are also very useful. They’re perfect for running errands, food shopping and of course for taking to the beach - I bought my Loewe bag (size medium) a few summers ago and it has been one of my best investments; next are flat leather slides, specifically from ATP Atelier (I now have a least six pairs); swimsuits from Hunza G (I have my eye on this set) as they are incredibly flattering on every body type and I also really love Solid & Striped. New-ish brands Fisch, Isa Boulder also do beautiful styles. I always have a pair of denim shorts to run around in from Citizens of Humanity and Agolde; linen and cotton shirts from Arket and Citizens of Humanity, dresses from Ganni (you might remember this seersucker style that I wear every summer), Doen - I bought this one in the sale a few months ago (I also have a summer dress edit, you can find it here); sunglasses from Les Specs, I also love Bottega Veneta; I love short skirts as they’re so versatile (see my skirt edit here). And finally another summer staple is certainly a good straw hat, by the likes of Janessa Leone to protect my face from the sun while I’m sunbathing.
