The sun has finally arrived and it’s given us a taste of summer, swapping out our jackets and cardigans for floaty dresses and tank tops in just a matter of days.
This month my friends and I have focused on curating our wardrobes for the warmer weather - and outfit planning for our upcoming travels, of course. Think all things crochet, poolside cover ups and breezy printed co-ords, alongside the notable rise of some divisive trends, we’re looking at you football jerseys and bloomer shorts.

Rayan Xasan showcases her football jersey with cotton shorts and oval-frame sunglasses.

So, keep scrolling to see the 21 items my friends and I have our collective eye on this month.
