That said, an English summer does demand one thing: a dress for all occasions, so we've rounded up our favourites. We've also thought carefully about stylish, but sensible footwear, sleeves for chilly evenings and smart, but understated, accessories. We hope these summer treats inspire you to get out and about, and explore our own lovely backyard.

Nothing goes better against a green lawn than a punch of orange. We love Pellini's amber-coloured costume jewellery for the sense of drama it brings to an outfit. Pair with Purotatto's gorgeous linen top.
