Summer bags

Woven bags epitomize timeless style and instantly evoke bucolic summer escapes. Ticking every box, Loewe’s mini basket bag from its collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza is crafted from tomato-red raffia and has braided leather straps. Take it with you to dinner by the sea. Elsewhere, Saint Laurent’s chic ‘Icare’ tote has a roomy interior that makes it the ideal choice for the beach, as well as your flight home. Dragon Diffusion’s ‘Nantucket’ tote, meanwhile, is a chic alternative for city breaks.

Thong sandals

For something with a touch more shine, Dries Van Noten’s sandals are intricately detailed with light-catching beads, making them destined for far-flung escapes.

Playful jewelry

Whether strung with shells, pearls, semi-precious gems or beads, jewelry in eye-catching colors and shapes is a fun way to make a statement for a carefree vacation look. Lizzie Fortunato’s ‘Coquina’ necklace – strung with a mix of porcelain, glass and turquoise beads – will look gorgeous paired with a crisp, white shirt dress and dewy makeup. Elsewhere, Chloé’s pink resin earrings are a playful alternative to wearing a flower in your hair.

Sunglasses and dress, Loewe Paula’s Ibiza

Oversized sunglasses

Sunglasses are a summer essential – whether the sun is shining or not. A great pair of shades is the key to infinitely chic outfits. As far as trends go, the street-style set is loving oversized frames that blend retro influences with a modern twist. Finish a sporty co-ord with Loewe’s shield sunglasses, or pair Bottega Veneta’s glossy tortoiseshell aviators with a classic LBD.

Add ons

When it comes to accessories, anything goes when you’re on vacation, so don’t be afraid to play with clashing colors, textures and prints. Whether you’re heading to the beach or a music festival, Loewe’s crocheted fisherman’s hat – another highlight from its collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza – is the perfect choice. It has a floppy brim wide enough to shield your face from the sun. Silk scarves are another vacation essential, and tastemakers are still finding new (and unexpected) ways to incorporate them into their looks, wearing them as bandanas, shawls or tied to the handle of a tote. Try tying Pucci’s printed silk-twill scarf around your waist, or style it as a top for the ultimate Y2K throwback.
