---

This summer's trends are bold and bright. Bring out those timeless essentials and update your summer looks by incorporating the latest trends.

When navigating the sweltering summer days, staying cool and looking good are equally important. So, whether you're heading to friends for a braai or going for sundowners, we'll make sure you never have to sacrifice style for comfort.

Starting with the basics - denim, lightweight cotton shorts and khakis to colourful printed tees and classic golfers - these wardrobe staples provide a solid foundation to build on. Next, incorporate this season's must-haves like floral sets, bright off-the-shoulder tops, curved longline tees and bucket hats to complete a stylish summer look.

MEN’S FLORAL SETS
A bold and definitive style statement, floral sets have stayed the course for the past few seasons in both colourful and monochromatic ways. From vibrant shorts-and-shirt combos to tailored jackets and trousers, there are options that suit every sense. Pair your floral shorts set with white sneakers and a bucket hat for a festival-ready look. Or stand out at a summer wedding by layering a crisp white tee under a tailored floral suit set and adding sleek tan oxfords or derbies.

LONGLINE CURVED HEM TEES
Seen on many A-listers, the longline curved hem tee has been a street-style classic for years, proving its longevity and versatility as a trendy wardrobe staple. Style a colourful yellow or coral version with trusty blue denim, your favourite sneakers and a lightweight bomber jacket to complete a casual look for a summer night out. Or flip it to semi-formal with trousers, a blazer and sockless loafers.

LADIES’ BRIGHT COLOURS
Beautiful, bright hues are a central trend for summer. From light, cheerful yellow and pink pastels to bold, dramatic oranges and greens ready to refresh your wardrobe. Florals work through spring to summer, ranging from large vibrant prints to smaller, more subtle, motifs and can be seen on dresses, tops and accessories. Arrive in a bright, floral strappy dress paired with platform heels and a mini handbag. Maybe you want to turn heads wherever you go in a colourful off-the-shoulder top, ripped jeans and open-toed mules.

CLASSICS
The crisp cotton shirt and denim bottoms pairing is a timeless go-to for workdays and weekends - from fitted to oversized, sleeveless or off-the-shoulder, your shirt styling options are endless. It helps you easily transition from day to night too. Go to dinner in distressed jeans, an oversized white shirt and a pair of strappy sandals or stroll around the weekend market in white denim shorts, a bright sleeveless shirt and chic slides.

Whether it’s bright and crisp, or cool and calm, stabilise your summer look with effortless fashion!
