The hero dress

‘Embrace the ease of single-piece summer dressing with Proenza Schouler’s sorbet-yellow dress, which comes complete with the artful ruched details we've come to expect from creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. Style with Jil Sander’s contrasting drawstring bag and Marni’s embellished snake necklace.’

The elevated camisole

‘Summer’s go-to camisole gets a luxury upgrade this season. At Prada, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have elevated it with lace accents and the signature logo plaque, while at Burberry, languid satin staples are pared back with denim.’

The party separates

‘For modern office-to-event dressing, focus on elegant simplicity with a tonal approach to styling. Look to 16Arlington’s sequinned lace-up top and Brunello Cucinelli’s satin skirt for a pairing that's interchangeable with the more essential pieces in your closet.’

All lilac everything

‘Toteme’s Elin Kling offers a relaxed take on the timeless co-ord — in lilac, the color of the season. The crisp, starched cotton is reminiscent of fresh bed sheets. It’s perfect for a city break in the brand’s hometown of Stockholm.’
