7 Summer Outfits to See You Through This Week's Heatwave
H&M's linen shirts are the kind of premium quality that don't go sheer or crease easily. Pair one with the brand's matching shorts to double up on this easy, breezy style (no ironing required).
A slouchy tote big enough to hold everything you'll need for work, shopping and anything in between.
Chunky sandals are still a firm favourite this summer.
Style Notes: Okay, hear me out. Yes, it's more linen, and yes, the thought of tailoring in summer might sound hot, but far from a stuffy three-piece suit, a simple waistcoat with shorts or wide-leg trousers adds polish to an otherwise casual look, and keeps you cooler for longer.

If black feels too heavy, swap in neutrals like camel, cream or white that will work just as well with jeans and loafers when the weather gets cooler.
Balance the structured tailoring of a waistcoat with soft linens.
Add retro cool with this pair of sunnies, my favourite from Le Specs.
Style Notes: Nothing says summer like dopamine dressing. Cue the bold and beautiful printed silk shirt. The short-sleeve bowling style is taking over my feed right now, and the loose silky feel is a welcome change from a clingy jersey tee.

Less "dad" shirt and more tropical graphics and florals, these ultra-comfortable shirts are the stylish evolution of your favourite pyjamas.
A classic pair of khaki shorts is a summer staple, and investing in a pair like these from Ralph Lauren will keep you covered for years to come.
We're calling it: platform flip flops are set to be the sandal of the summer.
Style Notes: The dreamy nap dress, so known for its proximity to a vintage nightgown, is one of my current obsessions. There is almost no styling required with this bed-to-brunch option, saving you valuable time getting ready in the morning.
If the reviews are anything to go by, the fit and fabric make Sleeper dresses a surefire winner.
A buttery leather top-handle makes the perfect shoulder bag.
Style Notes: For an exercise in understated layering, simply add a white shirt over a tank top to channel the cool-girl brand of less is more.

Statement sandals that deserve to be seen.
Add the finishing touch to this dressy look with a pair of this seasons hottest earrings.
Who What Wear's Emily Dawes is already sold on this trouser trend, but the latest way to wear it? With the scarf top of former Y2K glory. This look might not be for the fainthearted, but fear not: The scarf can be stylishly repurposed as a headscarf as seen on Emili Sindlev.
