“For someone whose wardrobe is 80% black (big spiller over here), nothing makes me happier than bright and bold summer dressing. Even the hot and sticky Tube can’t put a dent in my spirits if I’m wearing a wafty dress.

My summer style staples are quite simple in form and in function. I choose billowing shapes in breathable fabrics, usually midi or maxi in length, and pieces that can be easily pared with simple sandals, or trainers depending on how many steps I’m aiming for that day. I’ll snap up these dresses in most colours and prints to give some variety to my preferred oversized kaftan-style shape – just never purple, that’s not my jam.

In the summer months I won’t ever be seen without three things: a fan (a chic handheld is all you need), chunky gold hoops, and Prada sandals. Call me a fashion cliché but no one does it better.”
