@aprillockhartStyle Notes: Printed tube dresses have been a mainstay in many a designer collection for some time now, but suddenly, they seem more present than ever, arriving in many colours, patterns, lengths and cuts to suit your personal style.

@nayelizabethhStyle Notes: Vibrant mesh options have been particularly popular, as have more abstract prints.

@hannahlewisstylistStyle Notes: Birkenstock's Boston clogs are the kind of style that will trend hard for a moment but soon become a staple style many stylish people fall back on time and again.
Photo:
@taniceelizabethStyle Notes: Wooden-sole clogs are making a resurgence. This is one of the shoe trends that boomerang quite often, so it's never as wild an investment as you might think.

@lifeofbohemeStyle Notes: The spring and autumn runways are full of oversized biker jackets, so it's no wonder they've returned to the streets again.

@by.rejiinaStyle Notes: According to Depop, searches for motorcycle racing jackets are up by 56% over the last three months. It's happening. Pair it with a simple tube skirt for a sleek look.
This will stay in your wardrobe for decades.

@hannamwStyle Notes: Show me a print that screams summer louder than anything covered in strawberries. I'll wait.

@monamali_Style Notes: We've even seen them cropping up on jewellery, which is adorable.

@_marismartins_Style Notes: COS's crossbody bag has been super popular for over a year now. It looks expensive and just works hard for that hands-free life.

@monikhStyle Notes: This kind of slouchy banana style can be found everywhere, from The Row to the high street.

@maria_bernadStyle Notes: If there's one item that will instantly add zing to your holiday packing plans, it's a bold fabric hat.

@fiahamelijnckStyle Notes: Yes, they're a statement, but find one that you love, and you'll wear it for many, many summers to come.
Photo:
@annasarlvitStyle Notes: There's a subtle undercurrent in the world of prints for blurry, photographic, pixelated prints. Last year's swirls and psychedelics are still going strong, but this is good if you want something quieter.
Photo:
@nooreStyle Notes: They have an artistic quality but also feel timeless rather than tied to a specific season, so you'll get more wear out of them.
Warehouse always does interesting prints.

@alexisbadiyiStyle Notes: Whether sarong, crop top, hair accessory or belt, I've seen a lot of creative scarf styling recently.
Photo:
@threadsstylingStyle Notes: And naturally, Hermès's new scarf-tied sandals have been living in my mind rent-free.
Photo:
@champagnemaniStyle Notes: It started with Miu Miu's now-infamous micro, but pleated skirts have entered the chat in other forms—longer and more wearable ones. Phew.
Photo:
@alyssainthecityStyle Notes: The idea of a crop top and pleated skirt remains. Here's a more demure way to do it.
Miu Miu's versions do come in longer lengths, too.
