THE STAMENT SUNNIES Karen Walker sunglasses, £125.99

THE WEAR ANYWHERE SANDAL Ancient Greek sandals, £140

THE THROW-ON SUMMER DRESS Rachel Comey dress, £290
'The oversized A-line shape of this Rachel Comey dress is my ideal silhouette. In all-over white it’s the perfect throw-on-and-go dress for summer. I’ll wear it with espadrilles and a smudge of red lipstick.' Grace Smithen, Senior Fashion Assistant
