Weddings, Wimbledon, and the arrival of June signal that summer is truly here. After the May heatwave may have exposed gaps in your warm-weather wardrobe, fashion expert Jess Cartner-Morley presents the month's key style updates, from chic capri pants to affordable bikini bottoms.
This season's must-have trousers are capri pants, offering a grown-up alternative to shorts. Pair them with a crochet top for a textured, summery look. The kick flare is also making a comeback, adding a subtle retro twist to denim and trousers.
For footwear, a versatile summer sandal that works with everything is essential. Look for under-the-radar brands that offer quality and style without the high price tag. A cute bag can also elevate any outfit, from casual daywear to evening events.
Budget-conscious shoppers can find bikini bottoms for under £10, and there are plenty of other affordable updates to refresh your wardrobe. Keep an eye on emerging brands for unique pieces that stand out.
