I've always found this time of year tricky for dressing, but experience has taught me that a summer capsule wardrobe is a saviour.
A few key essentials - from the easy flat sandal and white linen trousers to classic denim shorts or a printed sundress - will take the pain out getting ready for a day in the heat. This week, I’m rounding up a few pieces I rely on year after year that form the foundation of all my summer looks. I'm also including high-price/lower price options to suit all budgets. Simply dress up or down with your favourite accessories.
