"I usually only invest in super summer holiday pieces that I barely get to wear (thank you, British summer), so this year I am going to buy more practical summer pieces that I can wear in London. This summer suit is the perfect example."
Petro Stofberg, Co-founder
"I’m looking for an elevated flip-flop that can be worn in the daytime but also in the evening. I think these Aeyde snake ones are just what I had in mind."
Lily van Bilderbeek, Fashion Newsletter Editor
"I can’t wait to wear some of the pieces we designed in collaboration with Casa Raki. I can’t say that I have a favourite piece, but our brown linen shorts and matching top are giving me all the summer box vibes!"
Laura Fantacci, Co-founder
"I’ve seen a lot of this shape of skirt recently: ankle-grazing length, elasticated waist in a crisp cotton. Cool and comfortable, I think it’s the perfect everyday style. I’ll be wearing a white racer tank and chunky sandals or my crystal Mary-Janes."
Polly Knight, Fashion Director
"I have a heel phobia, but I can bear a kitten one... just about. I love the modern feel of this Toteme pair; it will be a great shoe to elevate my more formal summer pieces."
Petro Stofberg, Co-founder
"I love some statement jewellery on holiday, and I just came across these chunky gold shell pieces that scream summer! They’ll instantly elevate my existing pieces and seamlessly transition me from day to night."
Lily van Bilderbeek, Fashion Newsletter Editor
"I’m in the market for a chic going-out top, and this style from Toteme is exactly what I’m after. It will elevate my jeans and kitten heels, or tailored trousers and sandals. Jewellery and a flash of red lipstick are optional."
Polly Knight, Fashion Director
"Grown-up shorts are something of a holy grail – I tried these on during a shoot, and they have a great fit: loose leg around the thigh, high waist, plus I love the turn-up that gives them a slightly more polished edge."
Laura Fantacci, Co-founder
"I’ve actually just got these and haven’t taken them off. I’m such a jeans-and-a-t-shirt girl, and these really add an edge to a simple look. They’re definitely a wardrobe transformer."
Polly Knight, Fashion Director
"After lusting after this Loewe tote for two summers, this might be the season I make the purchase. I love the ruffle addition to this iteration."
Petro Stofberg, Co-founder
"I think this will be a useful addition to my summer wardrobe, either worn as a co-ord or mixed in with my existing pieces."
Lily van Bilderbeek, Fashion Newsletter Editor
"I find that simple designs are often the hardest to uncover. I’ve been looking to replace a pair of battered Prada sandals like these for years, and I’m glad to say I finally found them at an OK price point too. I also bought them in gold."
Laura Fantacci, Co-founder
