Back to Top Tens
1

Full Sailor Skirt
Price: £95
Stockist: Whistles
www.whistles.co.uk

With the popularity of the nautical influence showing no signs of abating, what better way to jump aboard the seafaring bandwagon than this lovely, full skirt from Whistles. It helpfully encapsulates not one trend but two – swishy, 50s styles are the big news in skirts this summer.

2

Chloe Bow Bikini
Price: £265
Stockist: Net-A-Porter
www.net-a-porter.com

What every great holiday wardrobe needs is great swimwear, and who needs look any further than this sugary sweet, bow-tie bikini from Chloe – in so-right-now pastel green, if you please.

3

Deco Rose Halter Dress
Price: £75
Stockist: Warehouse
www.warehouse.co.uk

This little number looks suspiciously similar to a gorgeous Temperley playsuit we’ve had our eyes on ever since Fashion Week – but, heck, we’re certainly not complaining.

4

Double Breasted Trench
Price: £50
Stockist: Oli
www.oli.co.uk

Fend off the predictable summer rains with this smart (and purse-friendly) trench. It’s an official wardrobe staple – you can pair it with practically everything, and best of all, it will never look dated. Money well spent, we think you’ll agree.

5

High Wellie Boot
Price: £20
Stockist: Topshop
www.topshop.com

Take a cue from London girl Alexa Chung who was spotted at Glastonbury in a pair of wellies just like these patent-effect high top Wellington boots from Topshop. Perfect if you’re heading to the muddy fields of a festival over the next couple of weeks…

6

Dot Dress
Price: £50
Stockist: French Connection
www.frenchconnection.com

Head straight from the beach to the bar in this off-the-shoulder, spotted number from French Connection. A definite must-have for your packing list, we think.

7

Knick Knack Sandal
Price: £130
Stockist: Kurt Geiger
www.kurtgeiger.com

It seems like you can’t move for gladiator sandals on the high street at the moment, so it was a difficult task picking out our favourites – but picked them, we have. This version from Kurt Geiger may be more expensive than your average Primark attempts, but trust us when we say they’re undoubtedly worth it.

8

Buttoned Tunic
Price: Sale Price €75
Stockist: APC
www.apc.fr

For a little summer style à la française, APC can’t be beaten. With simple yet oh-so chic lines and a palette of greys, creams and pale blues, it’s a one stop shop for a true Gallic look. Head to their fabulous sale to pick up this sweet buttoned top – before we beat you to it.

9

Tribal Necklace
Price: £15
Stockist: French Connection
www.frenchconnection.com

As we shop our way through the pinnacle of summer, we can’t help but notice that the tribal trend shows no sign of disappearing just yet. From the Navaho prints at Matthew Williamson and Etro to this bright ethnic piece from French Connection, take your inspiration from every corner of the globe.

10

Miu Miu Patent Headband
Price: £55
Stockist: Net-A-Porter
www.net-a-porter.com

Like fashion magpies we were drawn to this shiny, shiny patent headband from Miu Miu, which now comes in an ultra-desirable purple. We want!
