It may still feel a little damp and grey outside, but in the shop we’re noticing something familiar happen every year — many of our customers are already thinking ahead to summer holidays and trips abroad.
Whether you’re heading somewhere warm or simply planning for sunnier days closer to home, now is a lovely time to start thinking about easy, comfortable outfits that will see you through summer without fuss.
Easy Holiday Dressing Starts with One Good Dress
One of our most popular styles at the moment is the Bali Summer Dress. It’s the kind of piece we know you’ll reach for again and again when the weather warms up.
Made from soft, breathable viscose, it feels light to wear, gentle on the skin and comfortable even under a bright, warm sun. It’s ideal for sightseeing, relaxed lunches, evening meals or simply strolling along the promenade — easy to dress up or down depending on where the day takes you.
Mix, Match and Pack Light
What makes the Bali Dress especially practical for holidays is how well it works with our linen shirt tops.
Layered over the dress and worn open, tied at the waist or buttoned up, a linen shirt gives you several different outfit options from one base piece. It’s a simple way to pack lighter while still feeling pulled together — something many of our customers really value.
Linen and viscose are both breathable, natural-feel fabrics, making them ideal for warmer climates and long summer days.
Finishing Touches: Comfortable Sandals
We’re also starting to see new season sandals arrive in store. Comfort is always our priority, so these are styles chosen for real life — supportive, wearable and easy to walk in.
Whether you’re away on holiday or enjoying warmer days at home, a good pair of sandals completes the outfit and makes all the difference to how you feel.
