Summer is the season of picnics, barbeques and outdoor plans (weather permitting, of course!). Today also happens to be the start of National Picnic Month, so the timing for a lookbook couldn’t be better! Keep reading for all your summer outfit inspo…

This striking striped jumpsuit is a great option for any daytime event that stretches into the night - having your legs covered will keep you warm and ward off the mosquitos (I am always covered in bites after the summer). The criss-cross back is a stunning addition that gives a sexy, yet elegant, feel to the outfit. Pair with black, white or red accessories to draw out the colours in the garment, or spice it up by pairing with a contrasting print.

For a playful summer look, why not go for our Imperial Cape Playsuit? This is a super affordable but stylish choice. Playsuits are a summer staple and this one is no different -  featuring a deep v-cut neckline with lapels resembling a blazer or collared shirt and a billowing cape at the back. Great for those events on hot summer days where you want to stay cool but look cool too.

This piece is probably the most versatile piece in our whole collection. Designed by our Founder Jordache in collaboration with Artisans in Fiji, the Chestnut Veiku Multi-purpose Oversized Shirt Combo would work for any outdoor summer event. It can go from an oversized shirt dress to a mini skirt and cropped shirt by unbuttoning a few buttons - basically  a 2 for 1 deal! It features a super unique Fijian butterfly swirl pattern and can fit a range of sizes due to its adjustable design. Add bold accessories to really make a statement.

For something a bit more formal, why not opt for our Leafhearted Masi Wrap Dress. This elegant gown wraps around and ties just under the bust, making it a flattering choice for anybody. The muted colours and leaf pattern balance v neckline and high centre leg slit perfectly - and at £23.99 for a 4 day rental, you can’t get much better than that.

This beautiful Bardot dress is a great option for a low-effort summer look. Great for those casual plans where you still want to look put together, the details on this dress do all the talking for you. Can be worn on or off the shoulder and is a great piece for showing off your legs. Oh and did I mention it had pockets?

Trousers on a hot day doesn’t always feel like the right choice, but when you’re sitting round a picnic you want to be comfortable. That’s why this gorgeous co-ord had to make the list. It is made out of silk so its airy and light, whilst the elasticated waistband makes it incredibly comfortable. Comfy doesn’t equal boring though, the bold lime colour is bound to turn some heads and the slight shimmer of the fabric makes it a one-of-a-kind piece.

It’s a summer must-have, bringing in bright colours, fun prints and unique shapes – exactly what summer fashion is all about. Wear to park dates, picnics and pool parties if you want to be the centre of attention.
