Chic Sportif
Take a cue from Princess Diana’s iconic sporty looks for this one! Channel her effortless style by pairing oversized graphic sweatshirts with high-waisted shorts for a laidback yet chic vibe. Finish the look with a baseball cap and a pair of white sneakers to add a sporty edge.
Whether you have membership of a country club or not, it’s easy to emulate this preppy-meets-sporty, money-ed aesthetic. Get inspired by the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 24 runway, then discover your favourite pieces that lean into this aesthetic perfectly. Start with a classic collared shirt layered under a vibrant oversized sweater or striped polo shirt, paired with a flirty pleated mini skirt. Complete the look with knee-high socks and loafers for a charming touch! Key to note is to opt for bold colours and accessories with quirky pieces for a head-turning statement.
A lazy day spent with friends in an outdoor park asks very little of your wardrobe. Indeed, the only thing you need to worry about here is the risk of being overdressed, and we’ve put this look together with that in mind. There’s very little more than the bare minimum here: swim shorts, statement sunnies and a water bottle holder to quench your thirst on the go.
By the Waves
Nothing says yacht party outfits like nautical stripes. When in doubt, a bikini and a button-down shirt is a classic. Especially if it’s going to be a day spent with cocktails on the yacht. The best part? You can easily freshen up by jumping in the water and throwing on your shirt to keep warm when the night closes. Don’t forget to keep your Stanley tumbler close so you stay hydrated in the scorching heat.
A white T-shirt is the obvious option for summer – white reflects the sunlight making it technically cooler than darker colours. Not to mention, something visually quieter, such as gray or khaki, will look great in summer and can be worn year-round. Style your white tee with relaxed beige trousers for a fresh summer look.
The sun is high, the UV index is higher, and the need for easy breezy separates is at its peak. With a more minimal approach in mind, look to a ribbed cotton tank top and miniskirts for a much-needed sartorial reprieve. For added dimension, finish off the look with a statement, colourful accessory.
