AH, the woozy euphoria triggered by the Automatic Replies “on” flick. Off comes the sticky work wardrobe, and into the suitcase goes all things soft, bright and bold for any Fuerteventura fun. Here’s what to wear when the time comes to Ready, set, OOO.
The beach to bed pyjama co-ord
Cotton printed co-ords are the kings of chameleon summer wear: they can take men and women from beach to bar and bed. You’ll find high street gems — Zara, Mango, & Other Stories — or independent labels doing them with a twist. SMR Days employ artisans in India to craft butter-soft offerings. “What’s more simple than opening your closet and throwing on a matching shirt and trousers, knowing you’re going to look great?” says co-founder Adam Shapiro. “The tie-dyes are our best-sellers — they are light, breathable, supremely comfortable.”
Sheer ballet pumps
The onset of “ballet-core” during the Spring Summer 2023 fashion shows prompted sigh of trend fatigue — but persevere it does. Its latest iteration? See-through ballet flats. London’s Dear Frances does them best. “Mesh options offer a unique and sophisticated update to the ballerina trend,” says founder Jane Frances. “The mesh is soft and supple so it moulds perfectly over the foot — they feel incredibly light, like clouds for your feet.” Also catering to naked-shoe cravings are Sandy Liang, for classics, and Christopher Esber, who does a dazzling crystal pair.
