Finally, rainy days are well in the past and glorious sunshine is out!
Whilst many of us love a heatwave, unless you’re topping up your tan in the garden or lounging by the pool, dressing for those soaring temperatures can become a bit of a pain.
To help you beat the heat this summer, we suggest filling your wardrobe with light and airy pieces, whilst staying away from heavy fabrics such as denim. Think floaty dresses, roomy shirts and comfortable co-ords that’ll keep you cool at work or during picnics in the park.
With the UK set to enjoy a heatwave this weekend, and hopefully, more sunny days in the months ahead, we’ve rounded up our favourite warm-weather essentials to shop right now.
