Throw anything denim into the mix and the vibe immediately becomes casual. We don’t make the rules. It’s the easiest way to make a fancy(ish) dress more versatile and give you more bang for your buck. More "gin in a tin on the green" than black tie, but if an exclusive invite does unexpectedly turn up mid-picnic, you’re almost ready to go.

The next 24 hours are yours. Refill your cup the way only you know how. Whether that’s strolling around a gallery, escaping reality at the cinema or finishing your book in the park. Make it extra romantic in an outfit that is comfy and makes you feel like a million dollars. A cap is our secret weapon for stylish introspective days.

Beach bar anyone? Adding touches of raffia and metallic gold hues to this flouncy number dresses it up whilst maintaining the sunny vibe. Platform espadrilles are perfect for sandy terrain and a maxi beach bag is a must for stuffing your SPF, sarong and other essentials along for the ride.

Another casual option! Save this for sunbathing in the garden or running out to get more ice cream. Easy, breezy, beautiful, just add classic sun saviours like a pair of slides and straw hat to complete this cute look. Accessorise with your favourite ice lolly- ours is a Twister - and settle down for an afternoon of sun absorption.

This classic feminine meets masculine mash up is serving Alexa Chung circa 2009. Whether you're headed to Glasto, or to the one-day only food fest round the corner, kick off the festival circuit with a bang with this wardrobe heroine. Throw a borrowed-from-the-boys shirt over your £29 pride and joy and you’ve styled yourself a look. Strappy sandals are a must as is a shoulder bag to house all your festi-bits.
