    Mother Nature – the original summer muse; a constant source of style inspiration. Where would we be without her? Lemons, butterflies, fish and jungle flora are setting the prevailing print mood with the help of aquatic motifs. Think freewheeling and fun; pure creative whimsy – as it should be. Now, let’s get into it. Looking for a wardrobe wonder? Irish designer Georgina O’Hanlon’s ‘Wild Child’ silk scarf is just that.

    You’ve got a carry-on bag, a long weekend and a ticket to somewhere unspeakably hot. The mission: to locate the nearest cocktail upon arrival (how many pins did you drop on Google Maps?) before cracking on with the time-bound itinerary in your phone’s Notes app. That means no time to change or faff about what to wear.

    Sandy toes, seaside linen, and summer stripes. As style vibes go, this one’s a classic. Well, sort of. There’s a definite shift in mood and tone. Nautical lines feel cold.

    Swish. Swish. Nothing quite beats the frippery of fringing. Useful for nothing apart from visual interest, its function is sheer indulgence. Maybe that’s why it’s such a hard sell. Close your eyes. What comes to mind? A socialite—Martini in hand—draped across a chaise lounge. Two mysterious strangers dancing Flamenco in a café. Popping down to your local for a drink. That last one didn’t make the cut, did it? But wait. It doesn’t have to be so binary.

    I’m a jumpsuit apologist. Adult onesie slights don’t faze me. How could they? Two minutes to look put together; a whole day to feel smug. Yes, please. Ironically, the garment’s practical provenance (think munitions factories, mechanics, skydivers) bestows its signature ease. Combine this with infinite styling options and we’ve got ourselves a bona fide wardrobe staple. Here’s how.
