Sometimes the best approach to summer dressing isn’t about trends but about classics.

And as far as classics go, you'll never go wrong wearing white lace or broderie anglaise when the sky is blue and it's 30 plus outside.

It suggests innocence, of living a care-free existence and who doesn't want that? Even if it's just for that two week holiday.

The beauty of buying into a classic trend is that you can justify spending a little more than usual, because you know that next summer, and the summer after you'll be going back to that perfect white lace dress.
