The Summer Trench

If you are going to invest in one summer coat, it has to be the trench: it is this season's must-have and a great lightweight option for holiday packing. And what better way to make a cool statement than to opt for one in white - this version is by designer Adam Lippes' Limited Edition range (£110). Available here, while stock lasts.

Bleached-out Drainpipes

There are so many styles of jeans to choose from this season: ripped, flared, low rise, boyfriend, skinnies and cropped. These bleached-out drainpipes (£42) have been given a vintage treatment and are hand-finished. Ideal for a casual look for any summer's day, combined with a printed T-shirt. Available here, while stock lasts.

Maxi-Printed Dress

From day to night, the beach to the bar, this maxi-length African-inspired printed dress is a fabulous holiday look that will add a dramatic edge to your wardrobe (£70). Available here, while stock lasts.

Loose-fit printed T-shirt

A great alternative to the traditional fitted T-shirt, this sleeveless slouchy with an abstract print works well with jeans or shorts and and can be accessorised with chunky bangles in bright shades (£18). Available here, while stock lasts.

Harem Trousers

The harem shape is at the centre of this season's trouser story. You can go totally casual with this look, or opt for a black silky pair like these with a tie waist and side pockets, and it's easy to take the look into evening. (£20) Available here, while stock lasts.

Waistcoat

The waistcoat is a wardrobe classic, but Mango's take on the garment this season gives it a modern edge with an unstructured style in 100% pure silk and a soft shade of hazelnut (£35). Team with a brightly-coloured T-shirt or even a boyish blouse to reference the trend for masculine dressing. Available here, while stock lasts.

Paisley Print Dress

This simple three-quarter sleeve frock with a gathered neck echoes the Boho trend. It looks great with sandals, boots and over jeans (£40). Available here, while stock lasts.

Clutch Bag

Another essential accessory this season is the clutch - there are many sizes and fabrics to choose from and by opting for a brightly-coloured version you can add accent to any outfit (£30). This one includes a chain so that you can wear it on the shoulder. Available here, while stock lasts.

Tailored Shorts

These shorts are versatile: ideal for holiday, with a slightly boyish look, they will also carry through to autumn worn with tights for that City look (£16). Available here, while stock lasts.

Bold Shades

Big is still on-trend when it comes to sunglasses, so opt for a simple statement pair with a curved shape (£20). Available here, while stock lasts.

Halter-neck Bikini

A great bikini is absolutely key to your holiday wardrobe and a key look for this summer is the skinny, but not quite string bikini. Choose a warm shade such as this peach and it will complement your glowing tan to enhance the healthy look of your skin (£30). Available here, while stock lasts.

Wedge-heeled shoes

Alongside the never-ending popularity of the gladiator sandal, wedges are huge this season. Penelope and Monica Cruz have created these high-heeled cotton wedges for Mango and they'll add attitude to most holiday outfits. (£60). Available here, while stock lasts.
