My Summer Wardrobe Consists of Just 9 Pieces
Style Notes: One of the biggest swimwear trends of 2019 is shirred fabric, a stretchy material that has tight pleats. The trend was kick-started by Hunza G, and we recommend buying into the swimsuit iterations, as they'll double up as a chic top to wear with floaty midi skirts.
Style Notes: Stripes are a sartorial mainstay, but in summer they're given a pastel overhaul to create the sunseeker stripe. Reminiscent of deckchairs, wear yours with white accessories for a fresh finish.
Style Notes: Shorts are a mainstay in any summer wardrobe, but never have we seen a pair prettier than Jessie Bush's pink cotton numbers. Choose any pastel hue and wear them with an oversized white shirt.
Style Notes: Milkmaid tops are fast becoming the It top of the summer, and it's not hard to see why. The square or sweetheart neckline looks amazing on bigger busts, while the trademark puff sleeves add a feminine feel to any look. Wear with everything from denim cut-offs to your bikini bottoms on the beach.
Style Notes: While sandals are essential, be sure not to overlook espadrilles. The closed toes make them ideal for cooler days spent on home soil, while the cotton and linen textures work just as well for exotic getaways.
Style Notes: You heard it here first—maxi skirts are making a comeback. Banish all hippy connotations by investing in a style with a matching crop top.
Style Notes: Anklets were high on the sartorial agenda last year, but now the chunky shell styles of 2018 are being replaced by simple chain iterations.
