As we embrace summer, it’s time to rethink our approach to shopping. This year, I’m all about investing in versatile, high-quality summer new-in pieces that elevate my wardrobe without breaking the bank. Instead of falling for fleeting trends, I’ve been focusing on pieces that offer longevity and timeless style. After all, shopping smarter doesn’t necessarily mean forgoing pieces that will elevate my wardrobe, but rather curating a small collection that looks expensive and chic, and yet is actually quite budget-friendly.

There are a few brands I consistently turn to when I’m looking to refresh my wardrobe with these staple pieces, and New Look now sits on that list. The collections over the past few seasons have been particularly strong, presenting an array of pieces that have made me double-take thanks to their designer edge. Whether it’s a linen dress that can transition from day to night or a pair of tan sandals that perfectly complement any summer outfit, New Look has really stepped up its game. The versatility and quality of the pieces make them perfect for all sorts of summer events, from casual brunches to outdoor evening gatherings.

The brand’s new summer edit is packed with items I’ve fallen in love with. Think breezy white linen trousers that can be dressed up with a structured blazer or down with a simple tank top. Then there’s the raffia criss-cross sandals—perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any outfit, whether you’re heading to the beach or a garden party. The collection’s soft, neutral colour palette adds to the luxe, stylish feel; and I’m particularly taken with the use of natural fabrics, which not only look great but keep you cool during the warmer months.
Never one to gatekeep, I had to share all the details on these new-found wardrobe staples, so below, I’ve curated my top picks so you can shop them before everyone else catches on.
