The best capsule pieces to keep in every summer wardrobe

Summer’s on-sight, which means we’re preparing to swap out all our winter clothes for the lighter, brighter ensembles that better suit the sun. If, like us, you’re looking to do the same – but without breaking the bank – we’ve rounded up the best capsule pieces to switch up your look all summer long… and no one will even know you’re outfit repeating!

Get Shirty

A piece that looks good on literally every body? An oversize white shirt should be your first point of call. Whether you zhuzh it up with collar or fluted sleeve detail, or prefer something a little more simple, these are super easy to dress up or down, lending themselves to every season. Pair with your favourite jeans, linen shorts, or layer over your latest mini dress – the choice is yours!

Linen Lookbooks

Linen is having a moment this summer – so get ahead of the trend and find your new favourite right here. These are the perfect essential to have in your back pocket for transitional sunny days where you’re not ready to go legs-out just yet. Available in a wide array of colours, these bring comfort, style and effortlessness all in one.

Boxy Is Better

Simple yet effective, a boxy T-shirt is the breezy summer style missing from your wardrobe. It’s the easiest way to inject a shot of Parisian chic or Italian tourist mode into your look. This season, we’re loving seeing these paired with a maxi skirt for the ultimate statement ensemble. Plus, you’ll wear these for years to come, so they’re definitely worth the investment.

Make It Maxi

Speaking of maxi skirts… here are all the ones you need. Effortlessly elegant, they’re the trend of the season and we expect to see them everywhere from now until September. From lace ruffled numbers to fishtail denim, go as everyday or as unique as you like with these styles…

Throwing Shade

The best way to zhuzh up your high street look for summer? A pair of designer sunglasses, of course. From Miu Miu must-haves to Gucci favourites, we’ve got the most timeless styles to suit every face shape.
