A little bit futuristic, a little bit retro. Dior’s oversized frames offer plenty of eye protection for those now-treasured moments under the sun.

SUMMERY SWIRLS

Tie-dye has been big for a while. Make sure you’re more style savant than dirty hippie with polished versions of the trend. The finish on this tote is inspired by the traditional Japanese dyeing technique, shibori.

SPRING IN YOUR STEP

Leave it to Berluti to make the current Teva-style, nylon-strap sandal trend a bit more stylish. The brand’s take combines wide, criss-crossed nylon straps with a cushioned rubber footbed lined with leather.

SUNNY SHADES

The Paula’s Ibiza collection by Loewe is inspired by a popular, now-defunct boutique on the resort island of Ibiza. Celebrate island life – it applies to us too – with pieces such as this riotously colourful hat.
