In my day-to-day life, I take a Mark Zuckerberg approach to dressing: a uniform of sorts on repeat that consists mainly of dark, dull colours (I\u2019m as partial to spilling as I am to holidays). But as soon as that empty suitcase opens and I lay the foundations of my holiday wardrobe, I am as far removed from that aesthetic as possible. My approach to holiday dressing is simple: wear what makes me happy. And the trick to that is also wearing whatever makes me feel comfortable.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Enter kaftans. Lots of them. In varying colours and prints. There was a moment when kaftans were the most glamorous thing a woman could wear (see Elizabeth Taylor), and then, because of some lazy PR from team kaftan, they landed in uncool territory. Replaced by the spaghetti-strap sundress and social media\u2019s favourite, a crochet cover-up, kaftans took a back seat. But, thanks to cool brands such as Taller Marmo, Dima Ayad, Fil de Vie and Albus Lumen entering the kaftan scene, along with familiar fashion favourites Rixo, S\u00e9zane and Zara serving up stylish options too, the kaftan has been reborn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Low-maintenance but high impact, a kaftan works for so many occasions \u2013 as a beach day throw-on, for a low-key dinner with friends, date night, a walk around the local town \u2013 and the naturally breezy silhouette allows for ultimate comfort and style. The key is not to overlook the accessories \u2013 chunky hoops, a belt when needed, stacking necklaces (all of which are my holiday staples) allow my kaftan to still feel contemporary. Where I have found most holiday dressing success (and, in turn, most joy) is going big, because living your best holiday life deserves no less.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img1.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img1&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-header-centered&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">HOW TO BREEZE THROUGH SUMMER IN THE CITY<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-name&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]CAROLINE ISSA[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Chief executive and fashion director, \u2018Tank\u2019 magazine[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">AS SOMEONE WHO<\/span> lives in strict tailoring, typically made out of heavier fabrics that keep their shape, dressing for hotter, breezier summer days can pose its challenges. My solutions are twofold: dresses and soft tailoring with layers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I like to invest in summer dresses that are versatile enough to convert with a bit of layering back into my winter wardrobe. So, I\u2019ll get dresses that will fit a colourful or print turtleneck underneath for later in the year when its time to cover up again. I\u2019m loving what Jo Sykes is doing at Jigsaw \u2013 tons of great patterns and cuts to her dresses that have a bit more flounce and shape that you can dress up or down, throw a jacket on your shoulders and wear to the office, or accessorise with chunky jewellery for a weekend picnic. Palmer Harding dresses play with breathable cottons and will add drama in a sleeve or a gathering at the hem. I\u2019ll always invest in a summer Prada dress because they offer a beautiful print or detail, and you know you can add tights and a layer underneath to make it work in every season.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img2&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img2-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img2&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-gallery-caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Akshar|600|||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-15px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Left: Caroline in lightweight tailoring and a versatile dress[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When it comes to my beloved tailoring, I swap out my heavier suits and pack them away to bring out the loose suiting. These are usually linens or super-light wools (Armani or Casasola jackets are my go-to here), or a soft silk that glides, like an old palm tree print Racil tuxedo that I live in during hot summer days. I have an arsenal of ribbed, stretch-jersey tank tops from Goldsign that I layer under suits instead of shirting, which I then wear with shorts or summer denim on the weekends.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img4.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img4&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-gallery-caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Akshar|600|||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-15px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Hannah wears the same pieces all year round, with clever styling[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-header-centered&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>HOW TO BUILD A SUMMER WARDROBE THAT WORKS ALL YEAR<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-name&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]HANNAH ROCHELL[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Sustainable fashion writer[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">IT\u2019S JUNE AND I\u2019M<\/span> wearing a knitted tank top. The same tank top that I layered over heavyweight dresses and roll-neck sweaters all winter, and now I\u2019m wearing with shorts. As an advocate for slow fashion, it\u2019s vital that everything in my wardrobe works really hard. Subsequently, there are only a few items that I don\u2019t wear all year. My winter coats are in the same suitcase I unpacked my shorts and swimwear from a few weeks ago; other than that, most items are in constant use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As far as I\u2019m concerned, seasonal fabrics are a bit of a myth. Sure, I won\u2019t be parading around in a chunky Aran knit for a while, but lightweight wool pieces are perfect for summer, since wool is able to regulate your body temperature, keeping you cool in the summer as well as warm in the winter. It has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which prevents wool items from getting smelly; it even has natural UV protection of up to 30. So if you invested in the knitted vest trend this winter, try styling your sleeveless woolies with bare legs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img5-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img5&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img6.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img6&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Similarly, I love to wear linen \u2013 synonymous with summer \u2013 in winter, as its soft fibres are cosy against the skin and look lovely layered with knitwear. Gingham trousers look as great with a big coat, bobble hat and chunky ankle boots as they do with Birkenstocks and a white tee. And what could be an easier year-rounder than adding tights and a skinny roll neck to your favourite floral summer dress? Look for prints in darker colours and dresses with sleeves for easier cold-weather styling.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img7.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img7&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-gallery-caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Akshar|600|||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-15px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Ginnie gives a masterclass in event dressing [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-header-centered&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>HOW TO BE THE BEST DRESSED GUEST AT EVERY EVENT<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-name&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]GINNIE CHADWYCK-HEALEY[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||on||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Sustainable fashion advocate and personal stylist[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img8-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img8&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/img9.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;img9&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">THE BUZZ OF THE<\/span> summer calendar has begun\u2026 but for many of us this brings with it a huge dose of deliberation about what to wear.

Don\u2019t leave shoes until last. If anything, start with a great pair you\u2019ve tried and tested, then continue the outfit from there. Block heels and espadrilles are a good starting point, or keep a natty pair of sandals in a handbag for emergencies. Do consider the terrain \u2013 high heels can sink in grass, gravel is a challenge \u2013 and do ponder how far you might have to walk from A to B. Will you be dancing? Are you travelling by public transport? Do you really want to change from trainers to heels?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/product2.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;product2&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; module_class=&#8221;flatplan-product-img&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;40%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;flatplan-product-description&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fascinator, \u00a368, <b>John Lewis &amp; Partners<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-product-title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|800||on|||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]THE HAT[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Go big or go home?

The speeches start and there\u2019s a huge round of applause\u2026 and yet, no one can clap properly for fear of spilling their glass\/dropping their sunglasses\/squashing their canap\u00e9. So, opt for top-handle bags you can hang on your wrist or, even better, a drawstring pochette style. Hands-free in a totally elegant way. Finally, if you are struggling with whether to match your accessories to your outfit, just remember, nude is failsafe, yes, but better than that (and more interesting) are metallics. Rose gold, soft bronze and silver work just as well as nude, cream or white \u2013 and you\u2019re more likely to wear them after the main event.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-texts&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>PHOTOS:<\/b> GETTY IMAGES, INSTAGRAM\/SPROMOJNA, ANDREW CROWLEY<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four summer style dilemmas, solvedFashion insiders share their hot-weather dressing secretsBillie on holiday in her failsafe kaftansHOW TO ACE YOUR HOLIDAY WARDROBE \u2013 IN ONE-STEPBILLIE BHATIAFashion writerMY FAVOURITE PART of holiday dressing is that I get to completely reinvent myself.
