Dream Dresses Under £350

Welcome to accessories season. There’s a chic simplicity to summer dressing – the easy white shirt, the simple black shift – and pared-back looks make space for show-stopping adornments. Shop sunhats, shades, scarves and jewellery – it’s time to dial up the details.

The More The Merrier

Fashion and art are eternal bedfellows, and SS26 finds designers seeking inspiration in the sculpture garden. Fluid pleats and folds conjure artfully draped pieces that blend the classical and the cutting-edge, bringing a beautiful new spin to statuesque style.

Strike A Pose

Summer is always a major maxi moment, the billowing fabric offering a cooling waft as you stroll heat-soaked streets. Sartorial sunscreens, then, and not short on chic, either. Beachy kaftans, day-to-night designs and luxe gowns promise a long, hot summer of style.

Go Long

The call of the sea sounds loud and clear this season, with a flotilla of nautical designs seeking safe harbour in our homes and wardrobes. Sailor-striped looks, shell-embellished decor, marine prints and boating-inspired buys semaphore a summer of seafaring style.


Sea Shanty

One could argue that sunnier days require fewer clothes… All the more reason to up the accessories ante. Bare arms are asking for beads, bangles and bracelets, while naked wrists call out for chic bags. Good thing SS26 has the best arm candy we’ve seen in seasons.

Sweet Talk 

As Miranda Priestly stalks back into cinemas in *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, we’re celebrating with an Andy Sachs-style wardrobe upgrade, curating designer looks worthy of *Runway* magazine. And yes, you’ll find a dash of cerulean… strictly high-fashion, of course.
