June's just got to get

Clogs

Put your best foot forward for the must-have shoe of the summer - the humble clog.

After Lagerfeld sent his Chanel models down the catwalk in clogs and fashionista Alexa Chung appeared on the front cover of Vogue in a pair by Chloe, it was only a matter of time before this chunky shoe with its wooden heel made it into our favourite shoe emporia here at The Mall.

Despite our initial scepticism, we're now embracing the clog and can be seen - and heard - clip-clopping around The Mall.

Wear them barefoot with jeans or contrast their heaviness with something light and frothy.

Be warned though, you won't be able to make a quiet entrance in these little darlings!

Florals

Yes florals are back, again! They never really go away but after the coldest winter for years, it's no wonder we're loving the floral trend this summer. It feels light and feminine and holds the promise of warmer days and nights.

Flower power is everywhere in stores - on coats, dresses, tops, bags and brooches. I tell you, we've more flowers here than Chelsea Flower Show!

So what do we go for? Big blowsy statement flowers or little ditsy prints? Just remember the rule of thumb - the bigger you are, the smaller the print. Simple!

If after all that, you're thinking florals really aren't your thing, just give a little nod to the trend with a pretty floral bag. Or fix two or three flower corsages together and wear them in your hair.

Military Jackets

A military jacket is another of our must-haves for the season - a wardrobe essential that will see you through all manner of style and - come to think of it - weather crises!

A must-have for every stylish wardrobe - looks fantastic thrown over a summer dress, lacy camisole or shorts. If you're conscious of your derriere, try one that sits low on your hips.


River Island military jacket £39.99


Wallis grey military jacket £65 and Grey silk harems £35


Topshop 2 pocket military boxy blazor £65
