If looking knockout on the beach is your thing, then there’s a cool new collab that’s about to make turning heads even easier. Charlotte Olympia, famous for fabulous footwear, is teaming up with Brazilian beach brand Adriana Degreas (you can always count on the Brazilians to get swimwear right) for its first foray into resortwear.
Footwear designer Charlotte Dellal brings her love of classic Hollywood glamour to the collection, which launches online and in store today, with vintage-inspired swimsuits and cover-ups that wouldn’t look out of place on Miss Monroe.
THIS SUMMER, WE’RE LOVING…
The YOU fashion team share their standout buys
Emily Dawes, Acting Fashion Editor
‘I’ve worn this dress to a wedding with white mules and red lips; to dinner with sandals and a raffia bag, and to work over jeans. Polka dots are so versatile and navy suits everyone.’
Hannah Hughes, Contributing Fashion Editor
‘This is my go-to weekend dress. I’m not usually an off-the-shoulder girl but this one stays up well and gives me a good chance of a line-free tan.’
Lucy Coghlan, Fashion Bookings Editor
‘These cute heels live under my desk – they’re my go-to for giving my work outfit some evening wow.’
Stephanie Sofokleous, Junior Fashion Assistant
‘I’m loving new brand House of Sunny. Its update on the gingham top looks great with wide-leg jeans and kitten heels and has taken me from picnics to parties.’
Joanne Toolan, Senior Fashion Assistant
‘These jeans are my S/S 18 denim update. I add white heels and a blazer to dress them up or, for weekends, tan sandals and a white tee.’
MONOGRAMMING JUST GOT EVEN MORE PERSONAL. My favourite affordable jewellery brand Missoma has a clever new online ‘sketch’ tool that allows you to ‘engrave’ your chosen piece with dates, names and symbols all in your own handwriting. For best results use a touch-screen device to create your inscription and, for that extra-special factor, why not get the kids to have a try?
ENGRAVABLE PENDANTS, from £29; CHAINS, from £40, and BRACELETS, from £85, missoma.com
