June Style Essentials: Capri Pants, Crochet Tops and the Return of the Kick Flare

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.
