The Must-See Luxury Buys for Summer 2024

Summer, is that you? The on-and-off weather may have us well and truly confused, but there’s no denying from a smattering of sunny days that the new season is on its way. Whilst the countdown to al fresco dinners and beachside adventures may be on, our wardrobes may not be as ready as our optimistic calendars. Perhaps you haven’t yet added a sunshine-ready basket bag to your collection or found the perfect pair of linen shorts that can propel your office and off-duty looks to all-new chic heights. Luckily, I’m dedicated to guiding you through shopping purchases, so that they can be the most thoughtful and long-lasting additions to your wardrobe.

As editors, we have many skills, from hunting on the high street for hidden gems to identifying the luxury pieces that are worth spending that bit extra on. When it comes to the latter, we’re well-versed in the forever bags that only get better with age, the summer dresses that are reached for year after year, and being able to spot a burgeoning brand icon that’s new to the market.

I’ve searched through thousands of summer-ready luxury buys to bring you a strict edit of what’s worth your attention. From Dôen’s iconic dresses to Zimmerman’s sunshine-ready two pieces, beloved sandals from The Row to fresh in tailoring courtesy of Rohé, each piece is a standout in its own right. Together they make up an elevated and sophisticated summer wardrobe that can prepare your outfits for all upcoming occasions from dinner dates to trips away, and even the everyday coffee trips.
