By Emma Strawbridge, 27 July 2025

Welcome to Sunday Best: your monthly roundup of the best IRL street style. Between the UK heatwave and wish-you-were-here social posts, July’s got us needing a holiday. Whether you’ve got one in the diary, have Sky Scanner open ready to secure a cheap deal or are just enjoying British summertime, one thing’s for sure – you need new outfits. Here are some top looks to add to your summer moodboard, each with key pieces to covet in the heat. P.S. If monthly inspo isn't enough for you, head to our socials for a weekly dose.

KEEP COOL IN LINEN TROUSERS

White linen trousers are a key player in any summer wardrobe, and @kam.armani shows how to style them well. When it’s hot, there’s nothing worse than having too many layers, so keep it simple with a vest and slip-on shoes. Plus, neutral tones makes the whole look effortless – and they go with everything.
