From chic capri pants to bikini bottoms under £10, plus tips on under-the-radar brands to watch. Keep cool out there.
Bridesmaid Dresses That Are Actually Great
Rewritten is an independent, London-based, female-founded brand making grown-up, chic, affordable bridesmaid dresses you’ll actually wear again. The Roma dress in satin is a bestseller, available in 15 colors and sizes 8-22. Order a fabric sample before deciding. Great for parties too.
Provence-Worthy Summer Top
M&S cotton blend pointelle knitted vest, £34. Pale crochet is timelessly summery and chic. This vest adds a pleasing frisson without overexposure. Found while picking up picnic supplies at Marble Arch. Pair with the matching skirt for a Wimbledon-worthy outfit.
Denim Shorts for Any Occasion
Cos knee-length denim shorts, £65. These have an elegant silhouette with grown-up polish. In washed-out black, dress them up with a mule and silk tank or down with a T-shirt and flip-flops.
A Very Good, Slightly Dressy Sandal
Whistles black block heel buckle sandal, from £159. A diagonal strap across the foot keeps the shoe secure and looks nicer than a straight strap that cuts off the leg visually.

Just a Really Cute Bag

A Divine Bowl and a Brand to Check Out
