THE all-occasion denim skirt Every woman’s summer wardrobe deserves a versatile denim skirt. This one by London-based Portuguese design duo Marta Marquis and Paulo Almeida, the creatives behind Marques’Almeida, is frayed enough to suit trainers or slides for the day, but perfectly cut with a ruffled wrap for stiletto sandals when night falls too.

The everyday bag This new-look satchel by Australian label Oroton ticks all the handbag must-haves right now. Structured cross-body shape: tick. Gold-tone hard metal handle: tick again.

This limited edition style is set to sell out fast.
