The Summer Set
Whether you’re headed to secret seaside spots, backyard barbeques or bars with a view, rely on coordinated summer sets to do the styling for you. Striking pieces in sunburnt hues work just as well pared-back with denim as they do turned all the way up, making for a smart investment this season.
Resort 101
Start with the shades. Sure to be your summer signature, don’t be shy when it comes to playing with colour and shape. Masters of the sunglass game, let Le Specs do the statement-making for you with their array of fresh and fun styles this season.
When it comes to the rest of your resort-wardrobe, rely on well-cut classics with personality-filled finishes. Think denim shorts that know your angles, oversized linen shirting, and live-in dresses bound to manifest summer magic with every wear.
“This blue, polka-dotted Faithfull dress takes me back to when I was in Positano on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Definitely a summer must-have.”
The Swim Silhouettes To Know
Poolside chic is redefined with sleek shapes dominating swim trends this season. Coverage gets cool with elegant cut-outs from Bec + Bridge and classic high-waists across the board. Nod to golden days gone by and embrace classic femininity in vintage-inspired prints that feel better than ever. Faithfull Swim, new to David Jones this season, does the right amount of detail while managing to keep the whole look fresh.
“This Bec + Bridge One Piece is a really flattering shape. Their entire collections colour palette this season is stunning and one I can’t wait to have in my wardrobe.”
