FOR A DAY AT THE BEACH
The must-have summer item is, without doubt, the swimming costume. If you're going to be near the beach, opt for a lightweight summer dress that's easy to put on and take off. To stay comfortable and cool all day, choose a long, romantic dress in an airy fabric with a tropical or floral print. Pair it with comfortable sandals or mules that allow you to walk easily on the sand.
Complete your beach outfit with a wide-brimmed hat that will not only protect you from the sun, but also add a sophisticated touch to your look. When it comes to sunglasses, opt for bright colours to add a modern touch while protecting your eyes. And don't forget to pack a straw bag: the natural material is perfect for carrying your belongings to the beach in style.
A CASUAL LOOK FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
If you're looking for a simple, comfortable summer outfit to wear every day, opt for a cotton T-shirt paired with shorts or long trousers made from a light, breathable material like linen. If you prefer navy hues, opt for a T-shirt with blue-and-white stripes and complete the outfit with white trousers (or blue or white shorts). You can accessorise with a backpack, or a tote bag with a shoulder strap, to carry your essentials and take on the day in comfort and style.
If you prefer dresses, opt for a loose-fit design with a pretty print, teamed with trainers or, if it's really hot, sandals. You could also choose a long summer dress and complete your outfit with a cap to protect you from the sun.
TO GET TO THE OFFICE
If you're looking for a comfortable yet elegant summer outfit for the office, team a lightweight blouse with dress trousers in soft or neutral tones to create a harmonious ensemble. Complete the look with heeled sandals to add height and style. If you prefer skirts, pair the blouse with a pencil or midi skirt. For a polished finish, add some simple but refined jewellery, such as minimalistic earrings.
EVENING WEAR
On a warm summer's night, opt for a mini or midi evening dress in a solid colour or elegant print, teamed with high-heeled sandals or wedges for extra height. Complete the look with a bohemian bag or small clutch and, finally, to add a touch of sparkle, opt for understated jewellery such as dainty earrings or a delicate necklace. If you prefer trousers, try a relaxed-fit style with a smart top and heeled sandals.
If you're looking for a summer party outfit, try a coordinating satin top and shorts. Pair them with high heels or sandals in the same colour. You could also add an elegant belt to highlight the waist. If you prefer more daring looks, a short, sequinned evening dress will make you the life of the party.
