Summer Staples To Get You Through The Season In Style

Mastering your style starts with knowing who you are – and how you want to feel. So, to help you discover your personal style, uncover modern wardrobe essentials and decipher this season’s trends, David Jones has enlisted the expert eyes of stylish industry insiders.

From the versatile trench coat to warm-weather basics, neutrals are a must for any wardrobe as they work as a canvas on which to build on. From caramel to deep chocolate and sandy shades, these warm tones work well together and look just as effortless when paired with white or cream linen. Make the most of this gentle tonal canvas with complementary jewellery that effortlessly lifts your look. Not sure if you suit gold or silver jewellery better?

This summer, look to swimsuits and accessories that keep you cool, banish rays and encourage you to lounge in comfort all summer long. We love an elevated slide paired with matching hat and sunglasses, especially when you’re summer plans involve the beach, the pool or anything aquatic. Durable, effortless and fashionable, these pieces are a must-have for everything from quick getaways to packing for an much-needed holiday. If you do plan to spend your summer in the sun, don’t forget to stay hydrated and reapply your SPF products regularly.

To dial up the colour and personality in your summer capsule, look no further than resort-inspired prints and tropical colours. Floating silhouettes and soft shapes will keep you cool during relaxed days with friends and family. Instantly elevate your look with a low-heel, statement earrings and an eye-catching clutch. Or, for easy summer occasions, style them with some strappy sandals and your favourite summer cocktails. Don’t forget a spritz of the Best Floral Fragrances for Spring-Summer to really tie it all together.

Is there anything more iconic for summer than linen sets? Cooling, stylish and impossibly effortless in any setting, a matching linen set will be your go-to all through the season. We love a full matching ensemble, whether that be a bright summer shade or simple neutral set.
