Found: the sweetest bandeau bikini ever. Tory Burch’s Costa
bikini top is made from an Italian-sourced stretch fabric with SPF
50+ protection and is sure to bring a playful vibe to your vacation
edit. As suited to splashing around as it is for hanging on dry
land, this snug and shapely bandeau is especially accommodating for
smaller busts (and great for minimising tan lines too). Complete
the equation with the matching bikini bottoms in the label’s
whimsical Legacy Paisley motif.

Mismatched pearls, diamanté-dotted shells and beachy charms;
éliou’s Siena set is vacation-ready jewellery 101. Wear these
trinkets individually or styled together in any combination for
feel-good vibes (beads in every shade of the rainbow and studded
cowrie shells take us over the edge). These are the epitome of fun
in the sun. Style your gold-tone metal earrings with tailoring for
a juxtaposed look to add a little zest to your summer outfits.

Following the success of The Grand Tour Italy in 2019,
MATCHESFASHION has partnered up with Marie-Louise Sciò and
Pellicano Hotels once again to launch a collective of high-summer
capsules as part of Sciò’s ISSIMO – a lifestyle platform that
celebrates the very best of Italian style, design and culture. The
collections span swimwear, homeware, handbags, nightwear and
ready-to-wear, working in collaboration with Solid & Striped,
Lisa Corti, Anya Hindmarch, Loretta Caponi and F.R.S respectively.
Uplifting pieces ideal for sunny climates (or relaxing closer to
home) abound. Of the lust-worthy lot, these lemon-print silk-twill
trousers really caught our attention. Liberace-style
sleepwear-as-daywear – we can’t say with confidence we’ll ever take
it off.

These pretty, flower-etched aluminium bowls, chosen as part of
chef Clodagh McKenna’s new range of homewares, are perfect for
completing your Aperitivo tray. If you’re exploring via food rather
than flight this month, these silvered servers are a welcome
addition at your next dinner-at-my-place night. Perfect for holding
all types of cocktail nibbles, from nuts to olives to dried fruit,
they’re compact and hardwearing – and also make for an excellent
cheese platter addition. Post-party – i.e. when they aren’t filled
with food and doing the rounds – they look lovely on a countertop
overflowing with buds and foliage.

Each pair of Tod’s Gommino driving shoes – so-called for their
signature pebbled rubber soles – are cut and stitched by hand.
Plus, these mustard mules have all the iconic details – penny bar,
rubber pebble sole, exposed hand stitching – for which the brand is
heralded. A supportive inner footbed makes them a practical option
for city breaks (back on the travel cards once again) that demand
four or more hours of pavement pounding, while their supple mustard
suede renders them suitable for formal suppers and laid-back
picnics alike.

Tie-dye is having a moment, and sustainable loungewear brand
tūla + tye’s relaxed-cotton sweatshirt nails the temperament
effortlessly. Its ridiculously soft crewneck tie-dye sweatshirts
are fleecy on the inside and cuffed at the wrist and waist. Double
down on the matching joggers and it’s kick-back gold. Hand-dyed
using eco-friendly, non-toxic pigments, all tūla + tye products are
made from a mixture of recycled cotton from factory offcuts,
recycled polyester from plastic bottles and certified organic
cotton. Keep an eye on its site for soon-to-launch items –
including some chic face coverings – and new colour options.

Forget counting sheep and other failed relaxation methods,
Spacemasks’ self-heating eye masks are a sure-fire way to get you
Zen in record time. Providing instant relief from headaches,
tiredness and eye strain, each box of Spacemasks comes with five
individually wrapped foil masks (printed in a luxe galaxy pattern
no less). To use, tear open the pouch to activate the self-heating,
unfold the mask and place it over your eyes, fastening the loops
around your ears and kick back for 15. A great cabin (or
bedside-table) stowaway.
