To the beach
With the arrival of the summer months, it is natural to assess the wants and needs of the season. One of summer's most in-demand details is animal print, in any shape or form. In this case, you’ll find it in a burgundy zebra-print bathing suit from The Attico ready to be tried and tested on the beaches of the summer. Pair it with a pair of Prada aviator sunglasses along with a coordinating sarong from Eres.

For the hike
For a trek-friendly look which is casual, comfortable and on-trendy all at once, opt for a pair of shorts in the colour rose from Adidas as well as a yellow sports bra from H&M Move. Complete the look with a pair of sporty, but chic, sunglasses from Chimi, and recycled backpack from Ganni to keep your water and sunscreen within reach.
The city stroll
Visiting a new city or just exploring the hidden secrets of your hometown? Take the opportunity to discover the city by foot in a fashionable city outfit, ready to flaunt your new finds of the season. Add a pop of colour and fun with the delicate Luciana Dress from Rat&Boa, perfect for hot summer days in the city. For an added dimension, finish off the look with a camouflage green bag from Wandler as well as a golden bracelet from the Swedish brand All Blues.
A night out
Irrefutably the best colour to flatter a holiday tan, show off your sun-kissed skin in a yellow, spaghetti strap, mini dress by Diesel. For a hint of romance add a pair of heeled sandals in line with one of the biggest spring trends - transparent, paired with pendant earrings from Justine Clenquet to add just enough to ensure a head-turning ensemble.
