Your Guide To A Tasteful Summer Travel

Nothing beats a crisp white, blue, yellow button-down. If you’re looking for an easy way to inject a twist into your workwear, add a stripe. Pair them with a pair of chic flats from Alaia or a pair of kitten heels from Jimmy Choo that also feels just right. Finally, a trusty leather bag from The Row or Lemaire will be the perfect finishing touch to your chic office ensemble.

Part vital carry-all, part style staple, choose your beach bag with care and it will segue straight into your post-vacation closet. Basket bags are a fail-safe option for summer silhouettes, while raffia totes add a bohemian feel to your summer style.

For accessories, look no further than hard-working pieces that add colour and impact – your own sunshine capsule, if you will. First up, a hat for style – Prada’s raffia bucket hat will go with everything. For classic style, invest in one of Maison Michel’s elevated straw designs, then add sunglasses – Ray Ban’s round sunglasses are a timeless icon, while Balenciaga's cat-eye frames bring a retro note.

Shorts have been given a serious stylish upgrade for SS24, making the crisply cut pair an elegant addition to your city wardrobe. Invest in fresh linen or crepe designs to wear with a button-down shirt or opt for a simple tank top. Neutral styles, such as Brunello Cucinelli ‘s neatly pleated neutral-tone shorts are inherently versatile and timeless. Wear them with a pair of minimal slides and an oversized canvas bag for instant city chic.

When it comes to swimwear, it’s always worth investing in timeless designs that surpass seasonal trends. Choose one-pieces that can double as an elegant bodysuit to maximise wear and packing space. Wear it with tailored shorts and leather sandals for lunch by the harbour. If you’re heading from beach to bar, opt for slip-on-and-go silhouettes that require very little in the way of styling. Print and pattern are also perfect for a golden-hour outing – Chloe's knit dress is decorated with a beautiful, colourful striped pattern, perfect for far-flung shores. Alternatively, consider The Row’s Bernette Cotton Column Dress – the sartorial equivalent of a holiday romance.
