Weave magic
A linen T-shirt is a summer must-have. Not only will the natural, woven fabric keep you cool, but also the elevated take on a wardrobe staple will smarten up the simplest of outfits. Try teaming this soft pink hue with cream and oatmeal shades for a stylish lightweight look.

Keep it breezy
The key to keeping cool in the heat is to switch tight-fitting items for loose styles. Not only are wide-leg trousers an elegant summer option, but also the oversized fit will allow air to circulate. Look for a high-waisted pair as they’ll make your legs look even longer.

A-grade choice
A linen midi skirt is a true heatwave hero. Look for A-line shapes that flow from the waist to keep you cool. Let this zingy tangerine shade do the talking and keep the rest of your outfit simple with monochrome pieces in black or white.

Go with the flow
A flowy dress is a hot-day saviour! The fit and flare shape of this cotton midi is perfect for days when the mercury rises as the loose skirt will keep your legs breezy. Just add pretty tan sandals and a basket bag for an effortless summer look.

Strap line
If you want to wear a camisole without flashing your bra, look for a style with wider straps and a square neckline. This cut offers extra coverage at crucial areas to stop any underwear faux pas while also looking super flattering as it frames your collarbone.
