Here’s our guide to looking hot in the heat.

Summer Style

When it comes to summer style, few designers do it better than Missoni. The family run business, known primarily for its signature style of vibrant colours and patterns, doesn’t disappoint when it comes to spring/summer clothing. Amongst the latest range of Missoni Bikinis, you’ll find the characteristic prints on triangle bikinis with halter necklines and adjustable, string, tie side bottoms.

The prints come in a variety of colours, each bold and vibrant, in shades of blues, greens, pinks and yellows which are guaranteed head turners. These gorgeous little numbers also come in a matching, small drawstring bag.

Kaftan Coverups

Another essential for taking on holiday has to be a cover up in the form of the kaftan. The garment was thought to originate from ancient Mesopotamia, but was first seen on the catwalk in the 60s when it was adapted to Western tastes which have now flourished into the beachwear essential that we know today.  The modern kaftan is perfect for a cover up on the beach. The floaty fabrics mean that they’re lightweight enough to wear in the heat. The style of having long sleeves, a V neckline and longer length means that it keeps your protected from the sun while also flattering to the figure. As you can expect, Missoni Kaftans come in the iconic prints and colours that made the brand a success.

The transparency of kaftans means that you need to keep a bikini on underneath at all times so if you’re looking for a little more coverage then perhaps a light, summer dress is more in order and Diane Von Furstenberg has many that would suit the occasion. Our pick of the best DVF Dresses include embellished jewel coloured tunics, lightweight cotton shirt dresses and patterned wrap dresses all of which are perfect for hot, summer days.

Evening Gowns

When the sun has gone down and you’re looking to go out in the evening, you’ll need the most glamorous of evening gowns. There are many designers which offer gorgeous gowns in sumptuous materials such as floaty chiffons, luxurious silks, elegant satins and glitzy sequins.
