Head to Hobbs for holiday-ready linen and the most elegant summer dresses you’ll find on the high street

Broderie is a big trend this summer, and the scalloped edge of this top will look very pretty over black or navy trousers. When the weather’s a little chilly, layer a jumper over the top to see just a hint of the high neckline underneath.

Nothing beats a straw bag in the summer months, and this one is roomy enough for all your essentials. I’ve often found that straps tend to break on similar styles, but these are made from leather rather than straw, so this tote will stand the test of time.

It’s early in the season to be calling it, but this has to be a serious contender for the best wedding guest dress of the summer. Between the hand-painted floral print, V-neckline and shirred details, this tea dress would be so easy to wear with wedges.

Cotton is such a winner in the warm weather, and the fit and flare shape of this midi is very flattering. Note the cutwork detailing on the hem of the skirt.

A great alternative to white jeans, these cropped trousers will show off your shoes perfectly. There’s a slight stretch in the fabric, and the wide leg fit is so versatile when it comes to styling.

Available in UK sizes 6 to 22, you can choose from petite or regular lengths in this dress. Wear it with white trainers to keep things casual, or dress it up with heels and gold jewellery for a date night.

So often I think of linen separates as pared-back and plain in design, so I’m loving the black and white floral motif on this co-ord.

Investing in a matchy matchy two-piece instantly multiplies your wardrobe options, so pack these if you’re only taking hand luggage on a trip abroad.

Forget mini clutches that won’t even fit your phone. This one will hold your lipstick, a fan and anything else you might need in the sunshine. The neutral design will work with anything and everything.
