This influencer-approved pair gets our vote.

Nod to the trend with a slightly rounded frame.

So versatile.

Minimalists look away now—Mango’s version is guaranteed to turn heads.

Go big or go home, right?

To be worn with a classic one-piece swimsuit on the beach.

This medallion pendant is still in stock, but we predict a sell-out soon.

For fruity themed gold earrings, look no further than Pascale James London.

To be worn with midi dresses and mules.

Worth saving for.

We love Topshop’s take on the square heel and toe trend.

Your everyday option.

One more round bag to add to the collection.

Neutral needn’t mean boring.

Is black not your thing? This impossibly cool Rouje style also comes in beige.

The Boyy slides of our dreams are still in stock.

We’re still big into polka dots.

These go with so many outfits.

If you haven’t yet invested in the super-small sunnies trend, then now is the time. Look to slim tortoiseshell frames, or why not opt for something retro and try ASOS’s white iteration?

That’s right: Sun hats have graduated from sleek and subtle to super-sized wide-brim styles topped with silky bows that double up as ultra-chic neckties, allowing your showstopper to sit neatly on your shoulders when not being worn. There’s nothing subtle about this season’s most covetable hat trend.

There’s really no better time to fashion gold-tone jewellery (fine or statement) than during the balmy summer months. Finish your wedding guest outfit with a structural pair of earrings, or offset a basic tee and jeans combo with some medallion necklaces layered alone or together; it’ll always be a winning option.

This is a no-brainer. Summer most definitely calls for strappy sandals, but this season, we’re looking to block mid-heels and styles that nod to the ’90s.

While we are always partial to a straw bag, or even a standout beaded tote, you just can’t deny the appeal of a neutral woven bag for summer. Choose between something circular, square or a bucket shape. Your wardrobe will thank you for this one.

While tan leather slides will forever remain a staple part of any hardworking summer wardrobe, there’s nothing better than dressing from the feet up in something statement. Take your cue from Olivia Purvis and try something topped with a giant buckle. Better yet, go for something jacquard or covered in polka dots. All of these options will boost your off-duty denim (and your mood) in a flash.
