The must-know summer styles for those jetting off to Europe, all available from Burnside Village

Bright pops of colour, neutral tones and all-white ’fits are set to dominate the wardrobes of Europe’s style set. If you’re jetting off for some sun and a well-deserved vacay, here is the must-know fashion for a Northern Hemisphere summer! You can find all these looks in store now at Burnside Village. 

SUNSET SHADES

Nothing says summer like pops of pink and sunset tones. Camilla is a top brand when it comes to creating clothes that capture the essence of warm days by the beach and balmy nights. Take their V-neck full-length bias slip in the pattern ‘Milas Got Mail’ for example, a silk maxi dress stamped with palm trees, an oasis and pyramids in rose-like shades. 

The Australian-born label is also a master of swimwear – you’ll find us wearing the cobalt blue-detailed, soft-tie bikini in the pattern immortal ink this season. And the best bit about these bathers? They look totally chic under any throwover. Our favourite is the one pictured below from Country Road. 

For a more casual daytime look, we also love the sunkissed-print linen ruched dress from Country Road – a light and breezy outfit for hitting the shops or afternoon Aperol spritzes. 

WE RECOMMEND

V Neck Full Length Bias Slip Dress, $849, Camilla; Soft Tie Bikini With Trim, $329, Camilla; Organically Grown Cotton Crochet Mini Dress, $199, Country Road; Organically Grown Linen Ruched Mini Dress, $199, Country Road

NEUTRAL TONES 

White and neutral-toned ‘fits are a failsafe when nailing a Euro summer vibe. Go from day to night in Kookai’s oyster pinstripe vest and matching pants. Pair this set with the Ora mid-heel sandals from Jo Mercer and oversized sunnies when heading out for daytime cocktails with the girls. Simply swap the shoes for the Saskia chain anklet high heels from Camilla when leaving for the evening. These chunky chain heels also look great when styled with shorts. For a nighttime look, dress this basic bottom half up with a metallic mesh top. The long-sleeved, diamante-decorated top from Unison is subtle yet still makes a statement.

Butter yellow is also the must-have shade of the season. Add Kookai’s Tayla trim maxi dress into your summer wardrobe rotation – this dreamy dress makes tanned skin pop.

ACCESSORIES, ACCESSORIES, ACCESSORIES 

Raffia accessories are it for a Euro summer. We’re loving the versatility of Jo Mercer’s Felicity tanned raffia heels and the matching Harling clutch – great pieces for any vacation occasion. The Raffia bucket hat from Country Road also taps into this trend and is perfect for lounging by the pool all day long. It’s also smart to have a rotation of sunglasses in your holiday wardrobe. Sunglass Hut in Burnside Village is your one-stop shop for the latest frames from big-name brands like Miu Miu and Tom Ford.

Felicity High Heel Platform Sandal, $249.95, Jo Mercer; Harling Clutch Natural Raffia, $199.95, Jo Mercer; Raffia Bucket Hat, $79.95, Country Road

BEAUTY 

Long days spent in the sun can dry you out, while an uptick in oily products like sunscreen can cause your skin to break out. Pack cool and calming products to combat this. You’ll find the Tatcha rice wash cleanser, Le Mer revitalising mist and Summer Fridays lip butter balm in our beauty arsenal, as well as a high SPF sun lotion (we love Mecca’s To Save Face SPF50+ Superscreen). For a summer scent, our top pick is Diptyque’s limited edition Ilio EDT, a figgy fragrance with notes of bergamot, jasmine and iris. All these products are available from Mecca Maxima in Burnside Village.

WE RECOMMEND
Tatcha The Rice Wash, $58; La Mer The Revitalising Mist, $145; Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, $40; Diptyque Ilio EDT, $280 – all from Mecca Maxima
