When it comes to applying this ethos to summer dressing in the city, the rules for me are clear: sticking to light linen layers, dresses that can be readily thrown on, neutral-toned pieces mixed with some on-trend block colours, an elevated flip-flop, a woven leather bag, and lastly, some hard-wearing, structured accessories to give my look subtle visual interest.
"They must be 100% linenâany blends with a fabric like linen automatically change the look and feel of the materialâbut can't be shockingly expensive since they're summer pants."
