    If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect statement pieces to add to your summer wardrobe, allow me to introduce you to contemporary womenswear brand Masku. With a brand founder of Turkish roots and pieces designed in-house in Madrid, you’ll find plenty of Mediterranean influence woven throughout each Maksu piece.

    It’s a firm favourite of some of team MC’s favourite influencers - Lisa Ing Marinelli, Monikh and Jessie Bush to name a few - and now the brand is *finally* available to shop in the UK, I rushed to the new-in section and prepared to fill my basket.

    As a shopping editor keen to upgrade my summer wardrobe, I’m looking for versatile pieces I can wear to the office and on holiday - from dresses and shorts to sandals - and here Maksu definitely delivers. Whether it’s through joyful colours or intricate prints and textures, the brand effortlessly nails elevated summer attire, complete with luxury fabrics for a final expensive-feeling touch. I was genuinely surprised to see that prices only go up to around £450 on the website.

The summer sales have officially arrived, and Maksu has some brilliantly-priced pieces available ATM, so I’ve included some pieces in the brand’s up-to-40%-off sale too. Whether you’re shopping the brand’s sale or new-in section, get ready to look chic in the heat this summer.
