Our Summertime Fashion Picks for Women

As we welcome a gorgeous European summer, here are our top 5 picks of summer womenswear pieces that should definitely be on your holiday packing list.

A collage on a tan background shows five items: black rectangular sunglasses, a green one-piece swimsuit with a central knot, a woven wide-brimmed hat, a beige straw tote bag with brown leather handles and logo, and a single tan suede sandal with a buckle.

Basket Bag

A collection of five straw tote bags with leather handles and accents, arranged on a beige background. Each bag features a unique design, varying in shape and leather detailing, including woven patterns and branded leather patches.

When the sun is shining, a basket bag is both on trend and useful. Pack your bag with a book and a bikini and take it from the beach to the bar and back again. 

Here are our favourites: 
Straw London, Extra Large Basket £125 (Bottom right)
Mango, Jute Basket Bag: £35.99 (Top right)
Demellier, The Mini Santorini: £195 (Bottom left)
Loewe, Large Basket bag in palm leaf and calfskin: £475 (Centre) 
Zara, Jute Tote Bag: £29.99 (Top left) 

Good Swimsuit

Five one-piece swimsuits in teal, red, green, cream, and black are displayed in a row. Each swimsuit features a front knot detail with a gold rectangular adornment. The background is a plain olive green.

A good quality swimsuit really can be a game changer, it can be difficult to find a flattering shape with enough support. Our pick is the answer to both of those needs, the Monaco One - Piece from Away That Day, a double lined swimuit with the most elegant cut and U wire. This suit comes in a range of colours but there is just something about the forest hue that we can't get enough of. 
Price: £159

Other swim we think you might like:
Mango, Gingham Bikini: £19.95 top & £14.95 bottom
Fruity Booty, Reversible Bikini: £80
Rose Inc x Hunza G, Iman Bikini: £160

Pair of Sandals

Three suede clogs are displayed on a dark brown background. Starting from the left, they are tan, beige, and dark blue in color. Each clog features a single adjustable strap with a metallic buckle and a textured sole for grip.

The Boston suede clogs have become the hero of summer footwear. Suitable to be styled with almost any outfit, a pair of jeans to a summer dress. At around £150 they are quite the investment but it the right hands, they can last years. Look after your Birks and they will look after you.
