A Fashion Buyers Guide To Summer Dressing

Synonymous with London style and retail, Browns has been serving up fashionable looks to for over 50 years.

A cornucopia of luxurious clothing and accessories from the major players (Balmain, Blahnik, Fendi, and Gucci) that sit alongside newer brands with a bit of bite (cue All Blues, 16Arlington, and Commission), Browns has built up a reputation for being a style destination.

Heather Gramston, Head of Womenswear Buyer for Browns, shares her top selects for summer.

Amina Muaddi Yellow Zoe 95 Leather Sandals: It wouldn’t be a completed list of favourite items without the very much-loved Amina Muaddi – season after season, I’m awestruck by her designs and this time I cannot wait to wear these yellow sandals. They just symbolise everything about the summer months.

Come Back As A Flower Tie-Dye Recycled Cotton T-Shirt: We’re very excited to have launched LA-based brand Come Back As A Flower, they do a lovely take on the tie-dye trend and make it fun to dress comfortably. With working from home still, easy dressing is still very much an essential.

EÉRA 18K Yellow Gold Small Tokyo Diamond Earring:  I’ve been a big fan of Eera since their first collection launched. My personal favourite is the diamond gold single earring. Asymmetry with earrings is such a fun trend and a great way to accessorise. You can wear this style dressed up or down – it adapts to your ensemble, and what makes it so unique and fun to wear is that you can detach part of the earring for a more pared back look.

Hunza G Duo Edie Nile Bandeau Bikini: I can’t think of beach days without Hunza G in mind. I’ll definitely be wearing the bandeau bikini set – the pastel combinations just scream summer to me. 

Harwell Godfrey 18kt Yellow Gold Rainbow Gemstone Beaded Necklace: Harwell Godfrey’s rainbow gemstone necklace is such an instant eye catches – I simply can’t take mine off it. This brand manages to make colourful, standout pieces that simultaneously seem timeless and easy to wear. What I love most about this brand is that there’s a clear intention to make its wearer feel good, with meaningful gemstones chosen and spiritually front of mind. 

Rosie Assoulin Printed Off-The-Shoulder Dress: This Rosie Assoulin off-the-shoulder dress is so breezy, fresh, and flattering. It’s an easy one to style –going with everything and for every occasion. Perfect for a Summer day or night, either on a holiday or in the city. 

Bottega Veneta Black Point Small Leather Top Handle Bag: The new Bottega Veneta V-detail bag is such a classic staple piece. I am obsessed with the structure – from its very chic handle to how you’re able to wear it in so many different ways, be this cross body, on the shoulder, or as a clutch.

St. Agni Ava Knitted Maxi Dress: We’re beyond thrilled to have launched an exclusive capsule with St. Agni, having been big fans for years. This knitted maxi dress is on the very top of my wish list – the back detail makes it so special. It’s such an easy wear and works with trainers or heels.

Kwaidan Editions Floral Print Shirt Dress: I’ve always got my eye on Kwaidan Editions, they never disappoint. This season they’ve launched this bold and expressive floral print dress. Again, this can be dressed up or down, worn all summer or even layered for the colder seasons.

LOEWE Asymmetric Cotton Trench Coat: This Loewe trench’s asymmetric hem gives an unexpected edge to a very classic style. This trench is the perfect investment piece, classic and timeless but with a hint of modern elevation. It’s also the perfect trans-seasonal item – you can wear it over your dress in summer evenings but it also works perfectly layered up for the colder half of the year. 

WARDROBE.NYC Side Zip Leggings: Wardrobe NYC is the go-to brand if you’re looking for perfect essentials. I can’t live without their ankle zip detail leggings – they’re comfortable and yet so sophisticated at the same time. 

Yinka Ilori Multicoloured We’ll Be Ok Plate: Earlier this year, we launched a stunning homeware capsule collection with British-Nigerian artist, Yinka Ilori. It is hard to put into words how joyful these pieces are – they’re an instant mood-lifter. The ‘We’ll Be Ok’ plate encapsulates hopefulness and positivity, after everything we have been through this past year.
