SEASIDE & SUNSHINE STYLE

Now that summer is officially here you may well have breathed a deep sigh of relief as you realised that winter – all 1,000 weeks of it – is finally over. So let’s get out and enjoy those rays!

This season sees two key trends coming through strong and both of those are colour-fuelled.

We have the Pantone 2023 Colour of the Year: Viva Magenta. This bright, vivid shade of pinkish-purple screams summer vibes. If top-to-toe in this lavish shade feels too much, simply add a nod to the trend with statement accessories, or even opt for your summer pedicure in this shade.

For an easy-to-wear outfit we love the ‘Dip Dye Strappy Dress’ inspired by summer evenings and sunset strolls. This beautifully vibrant style shows off its bright dip dye gradient upon a sundress silhouette.

£69 available from Ladies Visual Impact

Our number one style pick has to be this stunning ‘Aruba Palm Midi Dress’, a bright and bold addition to the wardrobe offering a mood-boosting floral pattern to a playful silhouette. It flaunts a sleek v-neckline, balloon sleeves and falls to a complimentary midi length, with flattering smocked details from a front empire waist to a back shoulder panel.

Let’s dive into our selection of styles in beautiful cooling shades of blue and bring this refreshing colour into your new season wardrobe.

This tiered silhouette makes it a very flattering option for any body shape.

As we delve deeper into the summer months it’s important to consider fabric choices and linen is known to be the strongest natural fibre in the world. It is 30% thicker and stronger than cotton, which makes it highly breathable, super-durable and contributes to the items’ longevity.

These cooling blue tones really lend themselves to these gorgeous linen options and here is a selection of our favourites:

This effortlessly flattering Aqua shade with its fuss-free v-neckline and midi sleeves transforms a simple design into a stand-out wardrobe star.

£130 available from Ladies Visual Impact

The easiest dress to wear this season, finished just above the knee with side seam pockets.

£95 from Ladies Visual Impact

Relaxed Fit Linen Shirt, Crystal Blue and the stunning Viva Magenta.

From £90 available from Ladies Visual Impact

No look is complete without your summer sandals, and our two favourites that we’ll be championing for the season come from Timberland and Camper.

Chunky soles and hiker-inspired Velcro straps feature, but don’t let the heavy exterior fool you as they are super lightweight.

From £90 available from Ladies Visual Impact
