Sun worshippers, rejoice, because the heatwave has finally hit, and guess what? We’re not even slightly prepared for it. Excellent! Dressing for extreme temperatures in the capital is a tricky one to navigate, and while the weather might say Costa del Sol, there’s something not quite right about strolling around Regents Park in your fave beach cutoffs and a bikini top.
What we really need is versatile, smart and cool (in every sense of the word) separates that can be thrown on at a moment’s notice and help us to look composed. Essentially, we just want to feel like ourselves style-wise, just without the sweat patches.
That’s why we’ve put together a super-speedy edit of pieces that will work during the heatwave. They might all be affordable high-street buys, but this doesn’t mean that they’re throwaway—these are hardworking staples we guarantee will serve you now and still look chic in 12 months’ time.
From airy dresses to floaty skirts, scroll down to see and shop my heatwave picks.
