I'm a Fashion Expert With Classic Taste—Here's Everything on My Summer Wish List

I'll never tire of bandeau styles, and to my delight, there many décolletage-bearing styles are still on offer this year. These trend pieces make worthwhile investments in my wardrobe, as the shaping is timeless and in keeping with my personal style. I plan on wearing this shape throughout the decades and switching accessories as per my mood.

The time is nigh to start considering rattan accesories and this squared handbag offers directional shaping that differs from the typical basket.

Rixo's collaboration with Ciao Lucia has granted us a smorgasbord of designs — from timeless to playful, handpainted pieces.

I adore the effect of drop pearls with bandeau necklines.

Toteme released a similar shape last season and the high street followed suit.

Jimmy Fairly X Reformation is the only glasses collaboration you need to know about this summer.

What's better than pearl earrings you say? A cluster of pearls.

Since moving to Paris (and witnessing some of the best trench coats on offer), I've become quite particular about what constitutes a worthwhile trench coat investment and this relaxed fit certainly makes the cut. The rounded shoulders and lightweight fabrication make this a great investment for summer.

There's always a space in my heart (and indeed, wardrobe) for Tove's designs. As the seasons progress, the collections only get stronger.

The scarf in question. It boasts an organza look and is guaranteed to elevate every outfit.

I adore column dresses because they act as a blank canvas. Pop on a pair of simple sandals and stack jewellery high.

Dare I say it, it's almost bikini time and Sezane's Le Bain collection was released just last weekend.

A free-flowing cut of ramie. Add the matching silk scarf for the desired effect.

Since 2023, we've seen our fair share of mesh ballet flats but this pair by Paige may just be the catalyst for my foray into the trendy shoe.

The taught waist detail and muted yellow tone speaks to me.

Look no further for your "going out" top. Elevated, directional and the offering of an ethically minded brand, you can't get much better.

Kai Collective's latest drop is something to write home about and I'm particularly enamoured with the Adesuwa dress. It speaks to drama and refinement in equal measure.

The Slow Label has crafted a unique iteration of the t-shirt dress with a cinched-in waist detail. Simply add a basket bag, and slip-ons and you're set.

Thanks to Sofia Grange's chic wedding looks, Posse became one of the most highly coveted brands of 2023, yet it was notoriously difficult to attain. Until now, that is. Introducing Tyde London, housing many aspirational brands — from Posse to Varley. It's a one-stop shop.

From the colourway to the lightweight fabrication, it's sure to be a summer favourite of many.

The founder of Arkitaip, Lea Wieser, is no stranger to natural fabrications. Every summer, she fashions timeless designs from the most humble and breathable summer fibres. The Emilia dress calls for hot weather holidays and gelato.

Almada Label is guaranteed to appease the knitwear lovers among us and its new collection features this cool-tones cashmere maxi skirt.
