Summer has always been one of my favourite seasons to dress for – there’s something truly joyful about putting together light, breathable outfits in beautiful colours and interesting textures. Whether you’re heading off to a sunny destination or simply enjoying warm days in the city, summer style, to me, is all about ease, elegance, and a touch of playfulness.

I know how important it is to find those seasonal pieces that feel fresh yet accessible. That’s why I’ve curated a selection of favourite high street pieces that really stand out this summer – items bursting with colour, flattering cuts, and subtle details that make an outfit feel special.

From butter yellow – one of the most beautiful and flattering shades of the season – to soft sky blue and bold, statement red (which is clearly having a moment this year), this edit covers everything from light day dresses and summer tailoring to eye-catching accessories. It’s all about embracing the spirit of summer with pieces that are versatile, elegant, and easy to wear.

Below you’ll find my favourite high street picks along with some ideas on how to style them into your summer wardrobe.

When it comes to business outfits, finding the perfect balance between comfort and style is key – you want to feel at ease while still looking chic and professional.

For this edit, I focused on lightweight fabrics and breezy silhouettes – think wide-leg trousers, soft blouses, and airy shirts. The idea is simple: breathable materials and looser cuts help you stay cool during summer days while still keeping things polished enough for meetings, office hours, or casual business lunches.

Shoes play a big role too – I’ve included options like low heel mules and ballet flats that offer elegance without sacrificing comfort. Add a touch of jewellery to elevate the look, and you’re ready to go.

These outfits are proof that summer workwear doesn’t have to be stiff or boring. With a few smart pieces, you can stay cool, feel great, and look put together from 9 to 5.

When it comes to everyday dressing during summer, dresses are my ultimate go-to – especially midi styles. They’re effortless, flattering, and so easy to style. I usually pair them with ballet flats or simple sandals, add a few jewelry pieces and a lightweight mini bag, and I’m ready to go.

Another favorite combo of mine: airy trousers and an easy top. It’s a no-fuss look that still feels put together, especially when finished off with a statement belt and my favourite sunglasses.

These kinds of outfits work just as well for a summer getaway as they do for a coffee in the city with friends – and that’s the key when shopping for warm-weather staples: choosing pieces that are versatile, wearable, and that you’ll actually reach for again and again.

When it comes to summer dinners, events, or anything that calls for a slightly dressier look – dresses are almost always my first choice. In most cases, I go for something long and flowy. A maxi dress instantly brings that sense of elegance, and when you add a pair of sandals, a small bag, and some jewellery – the whole look comes together beautifully.

What I love about these outfits is that they’re not just chic, but also incredibly comfortable. There’s something so effortless about slipping into a long dress on a warm evening – it makes me feel confident, light, and put together.

And just like many of my favourite pieces, these dresses can be easily restyled for other occasions. Swap the heels for flat sandals or slides, and you’ve got the perfect vacation outfit – ideal for wandering through small Italian towns or strolling along a Greek island at sunset.

No summer wardrobe is complete without a few go-to beach looks. For me, it all starts with a great swimsuit – that’s the base. Over it, I usually throw on a lightweight cover-up or an easy maxi dress I can just slip into. Add a pair of flip-flops and a large woven beach bag, and I’m good to go.

When choosing pieces for the beach, I always look for comfort first – but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. I like outfits that feel relaxed yet put-together enough to take me from the beach straight to lunch or an afternoon walk.

It’s all about smart layering and easy pieces that work just as well under the sun as they do away from it.
