We’re happiest by the water’s edge. Led by sky and sea, it’s in these untethered, sunburst moments our summer wardrobe comes to life. In tropical florals, in sorbet stripes, in sunny tie-dye, in painterly print depicting palms and pools and pineapples and all things that define the season, resort dressing has never been so easy, or beautiful. Let the good times roll in billowing blouson shapes or tiers of floral ruffle, relaxed and laissez-faire the order of the day. Happy hues of marigold, ochre, seafoam and sky make us feel alive, while a fedora and fez in straw top things off the way they should be. And the only way to step into the most glorious season is in an espadrille. Be it stacked and towering, laced and sneaker-like, or as a slide – nothing quite says summer like a jute platform from Edward Meller available at David Jones. Now let the sun shine.
