5 sunny-weather tops to obsess over

Could this look get any cooler? Probs not. Go for that retro-movie-star thing with a top that ticks all the sunny-life boxes… off-the-shoulder, ruffled and with a cutesy tie front. Finish with a check monochrome mini, white 60s-style sunnies and some tomato-red lippie. Add a mojito and you’re more than good.

In case you’ve been hidden under a rock, gingham is the print of SS17 – and what better way to make you feel excited for outdoorsy stuff than picnic checks? Go hard for ruffles and pair a frilly bralet with a high-waisted floaty skirt and chunky sliders. Dreamy.

What is it about pom-poms that immediately conjures up summer? Opt for an asymmetric bobble-lined top in classic pinstripes, and add frayed denim shorts and bold sandals for pure holiday vibes.

Simple and oh-so-pretty, it doesn’t get more summer-ready than a floaty red crop top with ruffle sleeves. If the weather’s still not playing ball, match with black straight-leg jeans and some chunky bow sliders. Oh, and sunnies ofc.

If your hot-weather vibe is a little more minimal, go big on summer whites and even bigger on ruffles. A structured asymmetric top, plus frayed skinnies is a no-brainer for summer-in-the-city feels – work with suede ankle boots, a leather cross-body and sharp cat-eye shades.
