Mejuri Boyfriend Bold chain
There’s nothing more chicly nonchalant than a wear-anywhere, never-take-off simple gold chain – especially one that looks like it may have been liberated from the collection of a particularly stylish boyfriend. Mejuri’s 14k yellow gold offering is an elegantly lightweight option that comes in two lengths for picture perfect stacking.
Carl Friedrik Traverse backpack
Inspired by the military backpacks of the 20th century – but with all the style and practicality necessary for the modern man – Carl Friedrik’s Traverse backpack is the perfect travel companion whether you’re headed to far-flung locales or only as far as the Northern Line. Available in nylon or nubuck leather, its 27L capacity is designed for up to three days of travel or, of course, your gym kit, laptop, headphones and all the other daily essentials you simply can’t do without.
Gabriela Hearst Rey straight-leg jeans
Queen of sustainable style, Gabriela Hearst, has just released a line of denim in eye popping primary hues but, if scarlet and cobalt aren’t really your thing, the brand’s Rey jeans are everyday favourites you can feel really good about. Made in Italy using recycled cotton, their straight-leg silhouette is modern, minimalist and best paired with a classic white tee.
Ba&sh Bilos jacket
Every wardrobe needs a great leather jacket but, if you’re getting tired of the black bomber you’ve been wearing for years, then it’s time to upgrade to Ba&sh’s caramel-hued Bilos jacket. Cut in a chic blouson style with flattering bracelet-length sleeves, drape over shoulders when the sun goes down now and pair with wide-legged jeans for an effortless boho style come autumn.
Hill House Home Ellie nap dress
Thanks to Olivia Rodrigo’s courtside appearance at Wimbledon, gingham is having a bit of a moment – and Hill House Home’s take on the trend blends the classic pattern with its signature nap dress silhouette. Ideal for practically any summer event, it’s the quintessential throw on and go piece.
Fendi Spy bag
Look away all other It Bag contenders: the Fendi Spy is back and here to claim its crown. First debuted on the Italian fashion house’s SS05 runway, this Noughties icon has returned with a sleek contemporary reinterpretation in a range of pretty pastel colourways (and black). The bag’s most distinguishing feature – the secret pocket in the flap that gives it its name – remains, while the signature twisted handles have been elongated and reproportioned in line with the slouchy body. Pre-order now: I predict a sell out.
Private White V.C. wax jacket
There’s never a bad time to buy great staples – especially when they’re up to 50 per cent off. Proudly Made in England brand Private White V.C. is having a rare summer sale, nattily named ‘The Bunker’, offering its high quality outerwear, shirts, trousers and knitwear at up to half price. I’ll be buying this wax jacket to steal from my other half’s wardrobe…
Bloobloom Rockstar sunglasses
Still searching for the perfect festival season sunnies? Bloobloom’s appropriately named Rockstar’s have you covered. These angular cat-eyes come in a range of poppy shades, including fern green, flamingo pink and (my favourite) orchid purple, and as with all of the brand’s frames, they’re available with or without prescription lenses. Genius.
Aje Base mini dress
Australian fashion brand Aje knows how to do great occasion dressing – and with its AW25 collection it offers up a series of designs to buy now and wear right up until the festive party season. I’ll be pairing this cobalt mini with a tan and lashings of gold jewellery now and tights and sparkly stilettos come Christmas.
Missoma tennis and snake bracelet set
Tennis bracelets are this season’s jewellery must-have but if, like me, you’re a tennis fan who can’t think of anything more anxiety-inducing than dashing for a tricky backhand with a few thousand pounds worth of diamonds on your wrist, Missoma is here to help. While its tennis collection does indeed feature actual diamonds, there’s also an array of gold vermeil and cubic zircona pieces that you can stack high on or off-court for all the style with none of the stress.
Daks x Globe-Trotter x Mr. Slowboy carry-on case
Fashion, art and travel come together in this playful new collaboration between British fashion house Daks, London-based luggage brand Globe-Trotter and fashion illustrator Fei Wang, aka Mr. Slowboy. Reimagining Globe-Trotter’s classic hard-shell carry-on and check-in cases with linings in Daks’ signature check and Mr. Slowboy’s instantly recognisable illustrations on the exterior, there’s nothing else to be seen in first class with this season.
Maje x K.Jacques sandals
I’m frimly of the opinion that you can never have too many pairs of great summer sandals and, in its new collaboration with Saint-Tropez-based sandal specialist K.Jacques, Maje has dropped two new styles that I’m seriously coveting. Both offered in black and tan leather, pack the gladiator and toe post designs in your holiday capsuel to have you covered from beach club to bar and beyond.
Reiss Asher dress
The spring/summer collections may be awash with poppy pinks, butter yellows and vibrant corals but, just because the sun is out, doesn’t mean we all fancy dressing like a floral garden. Enter Reiss and, specifically, its best-of-both-worlds Asher dress. Made in a lightweight crepe, its elegant wave trim hints at balmy summer days at the seaside while maintaining a sophisticated navy hue that could even be worn to the office.
Aspinal of London Ella bag
Aspinal of London has enlisted the help of Lady Eliza and Amelia Spencer to front its appropriately English rose-hued summer campaign – and it’s packed with pieces you’ll still be using long after the season is over. My pick of the range is this Ella crossbody: a chic, practical everyday crossbody leant extra interest thanks to a textured weave finish. Gorgeous.
Serena Bute kimono shirt
Who said your work wardrobe had to be boring? London-based fashion brand Serena Bute has long been spicing up our 9-to-5 with her semi-tailored track trousers, cotton shirts and silk blouses – and, for summer 2025, she’s turning things up a notch with a series of neon hues guaranteed to turn heads in the boardroom. If yellow or green feels a bit mich for your corporate workplace, this shocking pink hue strikes the perfect balance and, with its mandarin collar and kimono-style sleeves, is effortlessly elegant.
Damson Madder Ella trench
It’s the British summertime so, inevitably, rain will eventually cancel play. Trust me when I say, however, that you’ll be hard pressed to care when it means an excuse to don Damson Madder’s quirky take on the classic trench. Featuring a sailor collar and volume-enhancing pin tucks, it’s the perfect piece for warding off the late summer blues.
Marli New York Life 18k rose gold bangle
With its latest collection, Life, Marli New York has offered up a collection designed to accompany you every day and every where. Extraordinary yet understated, and promising to elevate moments big and small, the collection of necklaces, bangles, earrings and rings are set with pyramid-cut diamonds and semi-precious gems perfect for stacking.
Fabletics Hot Shot tennis skirt
Whether you’re serving aces or getting nothing but net on the court, you can guarantee you’ll at least look good doing it with Fabletics new tennis collection. The Hot Short skirt is a classic pleated design offered in an array of modern colours; opt for traditional Wimbledon white or spice things up with this summery violet hue.
Louis Vuitton Buttersoft sneaker
Drawing inspiration from the 1960s, when trainers were first worn for fashion over function, Pharrell’s latest design for Louis Vuitton is the Buttersoft sneaker: a chic, sporty design rendered in luxe lambskin and calf leather. You could opt for an all-over monogrammed pair, offered in a veritable rainbow of hues, but the seriously suave choice is this subtly sophisticated beige pair.
Vuori Villa shorts
Vuori may be best known for its activewear but, when the mercury rises and you’re in search of something smart yet lightweight to wear in the office, you’ll be pleased to know about its new Villa collection. Blending the brand’s practical design signatures (elasticated waistbands, lightweight fabrics, moisture wicking proeprties) with traditional tailoring, throw them on with a blazer and boxy shirt and no one will ever know the difference.
Naghedi Nomad tote bag
Whether you’re headed to the beach or boadroom, a capacious tote in which to throw the detritus of everyday life is a non-negotiable – but isn’t it time you upgraded from that stained canvas Daunt Books number you’ve been carrying around for years? Allow me to introduce the Nomad from New York-based accessories brand Naghedi. Available at Selfridges, this innovative design is woven from neoprene lending it a summery vibe, structured silhouette and luxe wipe-clean finish. A seriously worthwhile investment.
Allsaints Bryony slip dress
The ultimate hard-working wardrobe staple, there is no season or occasion for which a good black slip dress can’t be styled. Wear with flat sandals and a roomy tote on holiday, with skyscraper heels and lashings of jewellery for parties, or layered with knee-high boots and a cosy knit when the mercury drops. Allsaints’ Bryony design is my pick of this season’s best – and comes in a chic ‘rifle green’ hue which is equally versatile.uis vui
Tala contrast swimsuit
A chic swimsuit that actually provides support for when you’re, well, swimming? Leave it up to activewear specialist Tala to nail the balance. A perennial best-seller for a reason, this panelled design is incredibly flattering thanks to its shaping waistband and promises to keep everything in place on even the most vigorous of open water swims.tto

Bellissimo.n

This wave shirt, with its embroidered hems and ‘lover’ patch, is best worn open over a white tee and your favourite jeans.
PS Paul Smith wool jumper
Paul Smith has built a name, and a label, on taking the everyday and making it extraordinary – and this sweater, available from Harvey Nichols, is a case in point. Simple? Yes, but with its 100 per cent merino construction and subtle contrast crew neck, I guarantee it’s a piece you’ll wear on repeat. Need I say more? but
Aym lily dress
Event season is upon us and, if you’re looking for designs that maximise on both style and comfort, allow me to introduce Aym. Every piece in its collection is made ethically in the UK from a soft, stretchy and flattering blend of bamboo, cotton and elastane that will look as good at carriages as it did at cocktail hour. With sizes ranging from XXS to 3XL, and many designs coming in both mini and maxi lengths, there truly is something for everyone.te
Swarovski Created Diamonds Octagon ring
Swarovski, the 130-year-old Austrian brand best known for its fine crystal creations, entered the world of fine jewellery last year with its Created Diamonds collection. Debuting with an elegant array of designs featuring lab-grown diamonds in the place of the brand’s usual semi-precious stones, it recently added to the roster with the Octagon collection, a full complement of jewels highlighting, you guessed it, octagon-cut diamonds. Featuring a 1ct lab-grown diamond solitaire set on an 18k yellow gold band, this style makes a gorgeous engagement ring but is equally great for self-gifting.

The Jeanne, oozing sophisticated, Seventies style.ker wh
Stella McCartney raffia tote
Raffia season has officially arrived — and thanks to this season’s crops of more structured bags, you needn’t wait to hit the beach to crack out this most summery of accessories. High on my most-wanted list is this timeless piece from Stella McCartney, handwoven in a fair-trade workshop in Colombia using renewable iraca palm straw, a plant proven to be both good for soil health and a brilliant absorber of greenhouse gases. This is an investment you can feel really good about.

California cool girl brand Rails and LSpace have joined forces to create the ultimate summer capsule collection. Blending Rails’ laidback approach to everyday design with LSpace’s swimwear know-how, the collection has been inspired by long languid days on the beaches of Mallorca, and abounds with elegantly embroidered linen, patterned swimwear and louche cover-ups.

Season full of formal events with exacting dresscodes ahead of you? No matter how modest the requirements, Queens of Archives’ Pandora dress has you (literally) covered without sacrificing on glamour.

A linen dress is a summer non-negotiable and in its minimalist Roxanne design, Reiss has created a piece you’ll turn to time and time again.

Dress up with heeled sandals and lashings of gold jewellery for an al fresco wedding, pair with trainers and your favourite crossbody for brunch with the girls, or team with leather flip flops and a sun hat on holiday. I call that a seriously savvy investment.

Mashu Amaryllis raffia bag
Once the preserve of beach bags, raffia has graduated into a chic alternative option for elegant occasions. My pick of this year’s crop of raffia bags (of which there are many) is this modernist top-handle number by vegan bag specialist Mashu. A structured design with a handmade Greek walnut top handle sourced from furniture off cuts and sustainable, plant-based alternatives to leather and suede, its textured design is an easy way to add interest to anything from jeans and a T-shirt to a floaty summer dress.

The first drop from Daniel Fletcher’s debut collection for Mithridate has just gone live — unveiling Alexa Chung as the brand’s new muse.

CDLP swimsuit
CDLP made its name on minimal, reliable, brilliantly constructed basics – and its swimwear is no different. For 2025, expect any colour you like (as long as it black or grey) in a range of flattering fits catering for all levels of sunbathing bravery, from thong bikinis to innovative swim cycling shorts. I’ve got my eye on this slate swimsuit for maximum tan appeal.

Loveness Lee Mini Tota white sapphire earrings
Jewellery brands love to talk about ‘everyday diamonds’ but, let’s face it, for most people that’s a bit of an oxymoron. White sapphires, on the other hand? Well that’s an entirely diferent ball game. A semi-precious counterpart to their more famous (and far more expensive) gemstone cousins, they take centre stage in a new limited edition collection by London-based jeweller Loveness Lee. A shrunken version of the brand’s signature organically shaped gold-vermeil designs, these truly are the perfect everyday piece.u

Leica ZM12 watch
Leica may be best known for its high-spec cameras but, in the ZM range, it’s slowly been building up its kudos in the watch world. Backed by mechanical movements made by Swiss specialist Chronode, and featuring the same sophisticated design credentials it brings to its cameras, the latest addition to the collection, the ZM12, is well worth the consideration of any horology fan. Powered by a calibre LA-3002 automatic movement promising a remarkable 60 hour power reserve, this titanium and wood-effect chocolate dial combination is my pick of the bunch.

Offered in five colourways (my favourite is this sweet baby pink version), buy oversized for an effortless yet deeply chic smart-casual look.
Peregrine Felix jumper
British heritage brand Peregrine has been turning out timeless menswear since 1796 and, eight generations later, it remains a family-run business proudly offering quality knitwear that makes the most of the craftsmanship at its bases in Bristol and Manchester. But don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself with this sky blue quarter-zip: your new go-to for dress down Fridays, Sunday roasts and every smart-casual occasion in between.
Jennifer Chamandi Lorenzo mesh flats
London-based shoe designer Jennifer Chamandi has grown a cult following with her sophisticated ‘eye of a needle’ heels and now, thankfully for those of us whose days involve a lot of running around, she’s turned her attention to flats.
