From free-flowing maxis to our favourite sun dresses, itโs not officially summer until the weather warms just enough to dust off our most-beloved, seasonal styles.
It only takes the slightest hint at summer for us to ditch our best jeans for the slinky, flouncy and fun pieces we pushed to the backs of our wardrobes all winter.
At first, we tactfully layer our summer dresses with blazers and oversized shirts but, as the temperature rises so too does the level of skin we bare.
In the height of the summer heat, donning our favourite styles becomes a matter of necessity as much as a passion. Thatโs why many of our most pivotal summer staples are crafted from linen.
Linen fabric is a favourite for summer pieces thanks to its breathability, the fact it conducts heatโdrawing it away from the body to keep you coolโand is moisture-wicking (keeping you a sweat-free zone).
