Denim Bermuda Shorts - BlueDenim Bermuda Shorts - BeigeDenim Bermuda Shorts - BlackDenim Bermuda Shorts - GreyDenim Bermuda Shorts - PurpleEvery year I tell myself I can't do another summer stuck in the confines of denim shorts.

There's always a joy that comes with the first proper warm days of spring - the kind that make you believe that this year we might actually get a summer. Saying that, I've been burned by a similar sense of optimism before, so I tend to tread carefully when it comes to transitioning my wardrobe. But, with the days getting longer, holidays on the horizon and summer solstice only mere days away, it feels like the right time to start (finally) investing in some warm weather staples.

Lighter evenings, Pimms back on the menu and constant talk about a looming heatwave all point in one direction - we're waiting for summer. As for your wardrobe?
