Summer trends still worth buying into…
YOU’VE STARTED leaving the house with bare legs, partaking in a rosé on any patch of outdoor space you’ve got legally accessible and – hang on – is that barbecue smoke you can smell? It can mean only one thing: lockdown or no lockdown, summer is on the way. But although restrictions are slowly starting to ease, your summer holiday probably feels further away (and more unlikely) than ever this year. We say that means there’s even more reason than ever to dig out your hot-weather clothes – sometimes you have to fake it to make it. But what if you’re feeling that part of your wardrobe is in need of a refresh? Of course, if quarantine dressing has taught us anything, it’s that there’s no point buying into flash-inthe-pan trends. Instead, shop with a guilt-free conscience by thinking about the investment buys that will bring you joy not only now, but next year as well. These seven pieces will feel new, but are guaranteed to make you smile for many start-of-summers to come, be they in your back garden or abroad.
