Bright florals from Stüssy and bold graphics on Mami

Words: Thea Bichard

We’re ready – no, we’ve been ready for a while – to get away, seek out some sun and enjoy some extremely well-earned respite. Some of us have the travel lists memorised, Ibiza tickets booked or UK holidays firmly in the calendar; others are planning for day festivals, trips to the beach, camping out, firing up the barbecue or setting a chair and bottle of SPF out on the balcony. For all of the above, we’ve rounded up your checklist of summer essentials…

BIKINIS AND BEACHWEAR

Plans may be unpredictable, so for bikinis and one-pieces, we’ve picked out styles that swerve trends and can easily double up as daywear with a pair of denim shorts. For cover-ups, breeziness is always key – throw on a tiered dress or linen shirt when you’re stopping for lunch or heading out on a hot day. What’s more, we’re keeping in mind the need to protect the beauty of the sea with styles from Marysia and Jets made from recycled plastics such as fishing nets and single-use water bottles.

SUNNY ACCESSORIES FOR WOMEN

Sunglasses? Check. Hat? Check. Sandals? You get the idea – we’ve remembered all those bits you kick yourself for forgetting the minute you’re that bit too far away from home to turn back (we’ve all been there). Ganni’s hiking-inspired sandals (which are made from recycled rubber) and Jacquemus’s fresh-from-the-runway bucket hat have practicality covered. When it comes to pure fun, Eliou’s exclusive-to-Selfridges jewellery has us nostalgic for the beaded necklaces we wore in the 90s.
