Summer Style: 5 brilliant buys for women
By Tessa Crowley | 14 August 2025 | Style
While August evenings may be cooler, summer is far from over. Here, we pick five stylish womenswear staples, essential for any summer wardrobe
A well-curated wardrobe for the British summer is as versatile as our weather. Striking the right balance between cool and stylish while also capturing the summer spirit is a challenge when temperatures soar, then sink, on a whim. From light layers to statement scarves and eye-catching accessories, here we share five essential summer buys that tap into this season’s style trends, yet promise to stand the test of time with classic fabrics, tailoring and silhouettes. Read on to discover our roundup:
Swaine | Palm Tree silk scarf
The simple silk scarf is having a moment, and why not? Understated yet versatile, this practical mulit-tasker can adorn a handbag, double as a top, protect a hairstyle and so much more. This summer print in shades of blue from British brand Swaine has us dreaming of summer days beneath the palm trees. The perfect holiday accessory, or sweet return-to-office reminder of warmer climes.
Sophie Buhai | Pyramid onyx bangle
Sophie Buhai’s angular bracelet is an eye-catching take on the summer’s penchant for statement cuffs — the perfect addition to any bangle stack. Offering modern jewellery with a sculptural feel, Sophie’s heirloom-quality pieces are highly wearable, known for its use of signature materials including pearls, onyx, and lapis.
Roberto Cavalli | Leopard print jacket
It’s a universal rule that leopard print is a neutral, and with our love for the ongoing ’90s resurgence, this structured jacket from luxury designer Roberto Cavalli offers a classic silhouette for cooler August evenings. While leopard has been worn in many ways over the decades, striking the right balance is key. We love this pop of print against simple, dressed-down styling for a touch of contemporary cool.
Wrangler | Canyon Loose jeans
An enduring style staple, denim jeans are never out of season. We love this pair from classic American denim brand Wrangler. In a dark blue wash, the A-line structured wide leg offers a sophisticated take on the shape of the summer. With a fitted seat and high-rise waist, this jeans give you loose fit yet flattering. Dress down with a timeless white tee and sneakers, or up with a silk shirt and summer sandals in a neutral hue.
Jacquie Aiche | 3 diamond toe-anklet
The 90’s are back with a bang — the perfect excuse to polish up those pedis and get those ankles and toes twinkling with our favourite out-of-office accessory, the anklet. This elegant, three-diamond 14k yellow gold toe anklet from jewellery-layering queen Jacquie Aiche has caught our eye. Subtle and sweetly discreet to take you from bohemian beach vibes back to summer city living.
