PASTELS
Ready to swap winter shades for a pop of pastel colour? You are in luck this summer! Embrace clean-cut and preppy American vibes with chino shorts, pastel polo shirts, and snappy tailoring.
Ideal for every occasion, pastels are easy to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe. Think dusky pinks and pale blues for this summer season.
Pair with classic white trainers and you are ready for days in the office followed by evenings in the beer garden.
ATHLEISURE
Warmer weather brings with it relaxed weekends in the park and BBQs in the garden. Keep your cool this summer in athleisure wear, add to your wardrobe slouchy t-shirts, baseball caps and sporty trainers. For those cooler evenings throw on a stylish but casual designer hoodie.
Why not try a timeless and classic baseball cap from Fred Perry?
