Summer style with the spirit of adventure

Building the perfect summer wardrobe can be a tricky business, especially if you spend most of the warmer months navigating the day-to-day realities of city life rather that sunning yourself beachside. You need pieces that will work hard: uncomplicated, easy shapes that look good and feel even better. Which is why you should make See by Chloé your go-to this season. The Parisian label – little sister to storied fashion house Chloé – has a knack for conjuring effortless clothes that perfectly balance femininity with of-the-moment cool. Taking its cue from nomadic journeys and adventures in the desert, the collection blends functional, utilitarian elements with a youthful prettiness in clothes that you’ll want to hinge your whole closet around.

The most stylish women know that the key to modern dressing is mastering the art of contradictions – of mixing high with low, boy with girl, handcrafted flourishes with sporty details. The SS18 collection covers all the building blocks of your closet that you’ll want to wear together. Find your wear-on-repeat summer dress, whether you opt for the relaxed shape of the buttercup-yellow cotton maxi or the sophisticated gathered white mini dress, ripe for dressing up or down as you see fit. The earth-toned denim jacket, with its boxy masculine shape, is just the thing to throw on top as you walk out the door. Then there are the long, languid pants, a summer layering essential you’ll wear with sandals and oversized shirts and tunics alongside just-polished-enough pieces, like the clean-lined denim and soft knits, that will blend effortlessly into both your everyday and vacation wardrobes.

And to finish your look off with the requisite bohemian chic, consider the range of See by Chloé handbags, from the newest iteration of its much-loved Hana design in muted shades and statement-making colors, to the trend-box-ticking leather belt bag. Just the thing to ensure you have everything you need.
