THE STAMENT SUNNIES Karen Walker sunglasses, £125.99
'Karen Walker is the only name to note if you’re after chic statement eyewear. If like me, your wardrobe is typically monochrome or blue, bold accessories are they way to go. I’ll wear these two-tone navy and olive glasses to elevate an all-denim look. They can even be fitted with prescription lenses.' Abi Odugbesan, Senior Fashion Assistant.
THE WEAR ANYWHERE SANDAL Ancient Greek sandals, £140
'I’m in love with these stylish lace-up flats from Ancient Greek Sandals. They’re super summery but don’t show too much of your foot so I can wear them to the office and on holiday.' Lucia Debieux, Fashion Editor
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

'I’m off to Mexico in two weeks and counting! I’ve been dreaming about this crochet bikini from Kiini for months and now nothing else will do!' Hannah Lewis, Fashion Assistant
THE ULTIMATE BAG Loewe Bag, £1,495

THE COOL COVER-UP Marc by Marc Jacobs phone case, £15
