@taffymsipaStyle Notes: Is it even summer without linen? Our answer is a resounding "no", so we recommend investing in a breezy dress to keep you cool on hot days.

@smythsistersStyle Notes: Birkenstock sandals might be trending right now, but they can easily be slotted into classic outfit combinations such as a striped tee and blue jeans.
This colour combination feels so fresh (not to mention très French) for summer.

@bubblyaquariusStyle Notes: I'll be living in this chic combination all summer long. Birkenstocks are a key ingredient in making it feel as fuss-free and everyday-appropriate as possible.
I also love the idea of styling these with bright tangerine and cobalt hues.

@brittanybathgateStyle Notes: Fashion people are fully embracing the waistcoat this season, wearing it as a top rather than a companion to suiting. Add slides to give the smart style a down-to-earth spin.
The chunky gold hardware makes these look far more expensive than they are.

@daniellejinaduStyle Notes: This is the perfect running-errands ensemble, in my opinion. It's polished, comfortable and on-trend in equal measure.
Take this versatile crop top from park date to pilates.
The extra-thick waistband means these won't roll down as you're going about your day.

@kimturkington_Style Notes: On sunny summer weekends, let your floor-grazing maxi dresses do the talking and keep the footwear simple. Enter Birkenstocks.
I'm always drawn to this neckline—it's so flattering.
Birkenstock's Boston clogs sit right up there with the Arizonas in terms of popularity. In fact, they may even surpass the sandals. Influencers like Monikh Dale, Francesca Saffari and Lucy Williams love wearing theirs all year round.
The Mayuri sandals might just be Birkenstock's slickest design. Featuring criss-cross detailing and a black footbed (as opposed to the classic cork), this shoe is just as comfy as the brand's other sandals with bonus style points.
This chunky-buckle style looks designer to me. Honestly, I've seen similar pairs priced at almost £700 (if you know, you know).
In addition to the standard two-strap Arizona sandal, Birkenstock has released a shape with three thinner straps. Crafted from high-quality suede with matte buckles, the Florida sandal has a more elevated feel.
Flip-flops are the sandal of the summer, particularly leather and suede versions that look much more expensive than the average pair. Flimsy plastic flip-flops, be gone!
