As temperatures rise, staying cool and collected becomes a full-time job in itself. To help you navigate dressing for high-heat days without compromising on elegance, we’ve teamed up with London-based stylist Lauren T Franks for a special feature on summer office dressing.
Her tip? “Lean into natural fabrics and silhouettes that give you breathing room, without losing your shape.”
Let’s take the guesswork out of your summer wardrobe with four heatwave-proof looks curated with style and function in mind – all crafted from our signature responsibly sourced linen.
The Tailored Two-Piece
The Rosalie Buttoned Vest in Oatmeal + The Willow Wide-Leg Trousers in Oatmeal + A large carry-all tote bag + A pair of woven flats
Lauren’s take: “Think of this as the summer suit: relaxed, breathable, and sharp in all the right places. Add a large carry-all bag and leather slides for a quietly confident finish.”
Soft Structure in All Black
The Arabella Maxi Skirt in Black + The Gina Oversized Shirt in Black + A pair of ballet flats + A pair of golden earrings
Lauren’s take: “Don’t fear black in the summer - in airy linen, it feels elevated and unexpected. Knot the shirt at the waist and finish with bold gold jewellery.”
One-and-Done Elegance
The Clementine Midi Dress in Navy Blue + A pair of golden hoops + A pair of sandals
Lauren’s take: “The Clementine is my shortcut to effortless polish - just add a woven tote and sandals. You’re done in under five minutes, and no one would ever know.”
The Cool Girl Uniform
The Gina Shirt in Striped Blue + The Carolina Cargo Trousers in Off-White + A pair of sneakers
Lauren’s take: “This pairing is pure downtown cool. Half-tuck the shirt, cuff the trousers, and wear with chunky sandals or low-top trainers.”
The Takeaway? Linen is the true summer hero - breathable, low-impact, and naturally chic. Whether you’re desk-bound or heading to after-work drinks, these looks keep you cool without sacrificing style.
