Summer Looks

When the temperatures rise, your style should chill. Think fluid silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and a stripped-back palette that works with the heat, not against it.

From crisp white linens to barely-there neutrals, this guide is your blueprint to looking polished in peak humidity. Forget fussy layers, this is about wearable ease, cooling textures, and minimalist staples that say more by doing less.

Our editor-approved guide to keeping it cool:

Neutral hues

Whites, beiges, oat, sage and soft stone tones not only reflect sunlight but also exude effortless sophistication. Overall, neutrals offer unmatched versatility. A tonal palette allows you to mix and match effortlessly, think ivory wide-leg trousers with a mushroom-hued tank, or a crisp white shirtdress cinched with a camel-toned belt. These hues let the texture and silhouette do the talking, creating a polished, editorial look without relying on prints or excess.

Think breezy fabrics

Prioritise breathable materials like linen, cotton voile, and tulle. These natural, lightweight fabrics allow air to circulate and sweat to evaporate essential in desert heat.

Opt for minimal accessories

Choose sleek sandals, structured totes, and statement sunglasses that can transition from brunch to beach club.

Crochet it up

Summer knitwear is the new trend for 2025. Think minimal high-quality knitwear can last you throughout winter too. When temperatures soar, this breezy, open-weave texture becomes your style MVP, offering just the right balance of airiness, nostalgia, and tactile charm. Overall, breathability is a bonus as crochet’s perforated design allows for airflow, making it ideal for heatwave dressing without sacrificing style.
