On the way out
Raffia: buy it now, at the price it is now
A summer trend at the end of its summer. Which makes this the sensible month to buy one.
-
Peaking now
Pearls, but irregular and worn with denim
Uneven shapes, layered strands, no occasion required. Pearls have lost the formality.

Peaking now
Beads, candy-coloured and deliberately mismatched
Chokers, sculptural pendants, bright resin. The most-is-more end of the jewellery box.

On the way out
Shells, cowries and the last of the summer jewellery
Oversized spiral pendants, cowrie strands, turquoise. Peaked in July — which is precisely why it is worth buying in August.
-
Peaking now
The silk head scarf is the most 2026 thing you can do
Tied at the nape, folded as a headband, or knotted under the chin. Three completely different looks from one square of fabric.
-
Peaking now
The bandana replaced the baseball cap
Vintage paisley, worn with good sunglasses. The bit of headwear that says you left the house on purpose.
-
Rising

The most beautiful thing in western dressing, and the one with real rules attached. Worth understanding before you spend anything.

Wear the summer things now, properly, one more time. Most of them are going away for eight months.
