SUMMER STYLE EDIT: THIS IS HOW TO STYLE OUT CITY HEAT 25. May 2023 SUMMER STYLE EDIT: THIS IS HOW TO STYLE OUT CITY HEAT Paragraph WORDS: MARNI ROSE MCFALL & CASEY GERARD Call to Action Scorching streets. Sweaty skin. Sun-kissed faces. Summer 2023 is here. And the temperature is starting to rise. But thankfully, there’s never been more ways to navigate those sticky city streets. Enter: looks that are hotter than hell. Take it all off with an easy breezy co-ord by Versace. Add a few degrees with bulky layers by Prada. Embrace dewy skin with ultra-luxe face mists. Get ready to go with must-have bum bags. When it comes down to it, there’s only one thing you need to style out summer in the city: big energy looks that bring the heat. Is it hot outside? A little... But mostly, it’s just us. THE DOUBLE DENIM Caption for the image goes here Double denim on a hot summer’s day? It’s so wrong it’s right. Don’t believe us? Allow Prada to show you how it’s done. Go for a true-blue jeans-and-jacket combo by way of the Used Effect Jacket and 1950s Jeans. Both styles feature a worn, slightly faded effect for that classic, all-American feel. Pair with a staple white tee, statement sneakers and a dose of cult appeal c/o the brand’s signature Triangle Crossbody Bag. Heading PRADA Denim Used Effect Jacket £1450 VIEW PRADA 1950s Jeans £850 VIEW PRADA Interlock T Shirt £660 VIEW PRADA Triangle Crossbody Bag £1650 VIEW PRADA Collision Cross Trainers £890 VIEW THE HARD-WORKING SANDAL If you’re stepping out into city heat, you’re going to need a good sandal. Luckily for you, we’ve pulled together four of the best. Looking to make a statement? Saint Laurent’s Buck Sandals are the ones. Covered in an all-over zebra print, they’re the perfect way to channel your inner wild thing. Prada’s Sporty Sandals go big on dadcore appeal thanks to their chunky silhouette and OTT buckles, while Valentino Garavani have given their sandals the stud treatment. And if you’re searching for something sleek? Tom Ford’s Brighton Sandals the perfect summer staple.

Not sure what to look for? Here’s our cheat sheet: look for zesty fruits, fresh woods and florals. If these notes are at the forefront of your scent, you’re onto a winner. Jo Malone London’s Nashi Blossom Cologne combines the blossom of a pear tree with soft white musk for a subtle, all-occasion scent. Going out for the evening? Try Tom Ford’s Santal Blush, a creamy sandalwood scent that is as long-lasting as it is alluring. Heading Jo Malone London Nashi Blossom Cologne 100ml £115 VIEW Maison Margiela Paris Replica On A Date Eau de Toilette £55 VIEW Tom Ford Beauty Santal Blush £210 VIEW Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Cipresso di Toscana £94 VIEW THE PRINTED SHORTS Caption for the image goes here Shorts were a mainstay for SS23, with everyone from Prada to Off-White sending short shorts down the runway. The easiest way to bring the trend into your wardrobe? A bold, statement-making pair. And with summer heat making us feel a little… restless, we’re leaning into it and embracing our wild side with Tom Ford. The Zebra Print Swim Shorts are a major vibe. Plus, they have the advantage of a) being stylish enough to work in your day-to-day outfit rotation and b) keeping you swim-ready at all times, so if you need to take a dip and cool off, they’ve got you covered. Stay bare and style with the Viscose Vest (because skin is very in for SS23) and pair with slick white trainers and oversized sunglasses for ultimate impact. Heading TOM FORD Viscose Vest £570 VIEW TOM FORD Zebra Print Swim Shorts £495 VIEW TOM FORD Jarvis Trainers £720 VIEW TOM FORD Ft0751-N Sunglasses £250 VIEW THE FACE MIST Is it sweat? Is it face mist? It doesn’t matter. When the heat is high, we all need a little freshen up in the form of a spritz. Whether hydrating or tanning, these mists will become your on-the-go essential for the city heat. Skin on the dry side? Inject some moisture with the Hydrating Face Mist from Dr. Barbara Sturm. Can’t get on holiday this year? James Read’s H20 Tan Mist will refresh the skin and develop into a natural looking tan; no streaky orange-ness in sight. Heading Dr Barbara Sturm Hydrating Face Mist £75 VIEW Omorovicza Magic Moisture Mist £68 VIEW James Read H2O Tan Mist Face £20 VIEW Evolve Beauty Organic Beauty Daily Defense Moisture Mist 100ml £20 VIEW THE CO-ORDINATING SET Caption for the image goes here When it comes to styling out city heat, sometimes co-ordination is key. Case in point? This set from Versace. Covered in the brand’s signature Barocco print, the loose-fitting co-ord is a relaxed yet elevated pick. To style? Leave the shirt open with absolutely nothing underneath. And as for your accessories, go for bold gold bling with the Medusa Earrings and Mother of Pearl ring and finish with a pair of chunky trainers for ultimate city stomping. Heading VERSACE Barocco Denim Shirt £835 VIEW VERSACE Drawstring Baroque Short £555 VIEW VERSACE Medusa Earrings £325 VIEW VERSACE Greca Odissa Trainers £639 VIEW VERSACE Mother Of Pearl Ring £325 VIEW THE ON-THE-GO BAG The arrival of summer means seemingly endless sartorial situations. And you’ll need a good bag to see you through. Enter: the bum bag, an easy-wearing, all-purpose bag that’ll take you from a to b, without compromising on style. Alexander McQueen’s Biker Bumbag for one goes big on the bikercore trend, thanks to heavy metal detailing and a jet-black leather fabrication, while Prada’s Nylon Belt Bag is simply, classic Prada, and that’s the only endorsement we need. If you’re in a logo mood, Saint Laurent has you covered with a classic black bum bag adorned with an oversized YSL logo.
