100% linen looks to sport this summer

It’s the season to lean on linen, and we’ve got silhouettes to suit every dress code. Burgundy, olive and white tones anchor our 100% linen pieces for SS26, meaning they’re ready to complement other tonal pieces or provide a rich pop of colour to your wardrobe. Take your pick from our newest silhouettes, spanning A-line dresses, flowing wide-leg and square-neck sets and chic, tailored longline blazer-and-trouser styles. Fervently adding rustic woven and crochet textures to your summer outfits moodboard? Our The Edit accessories are one step ahead of you…

Versatile 100% cotton must-haves

Why should you be shopping 100% cotton for summer? Breathability. Cotton offers the same vital breathability as linen but with a soft-touch feel on the skin. The asymmetric lace top has bypassed ‘flash trend’ status, and our latest take, The 100% Cotton Lace T-shirt, is the ultimate hi-low way to wear it. For those who want a complete 100% cotton look, a matching set like The 100% Cotton Poplin Top and The 100% Cotton Midi Circle Skirt is a great everyday and occasionwear option. Style with essentials like vests, jeans and shorts, or wear together with statement accessories for your next guest list event.

Spotted: summer dresses

‘Effortless’ gets thrown around a lot in fashion, but the importance of a truly effortless dress must never be underestimated when it comes to summer styling. That’s where our linen blend options come in. Made with 55% linen, both The Linen Blend Polka Dot Dress and The Linen Blend Bandeau Dress have comfort at their core. Still, their strapless (hello, removable straps!) and off-the-shoulder silhouettes scream femininity. Meaning minimum fuss, maximum impact. Add pendant necklaces and kitten heels to our simpler designs or let the chic patterns do the talking.
