Silks on a summer night? The epitome of staycation chic! As a natural thermal regulator, silk keeps the body cool even on the warmest of heatwave evenings.

This year the High Street favours sea-inspired hues. Brands including Ghost and Samantha Cameron’s Cefinn are awash with aqua-blue dresses and emerald-green accessories. And don’t be afraid to clash blues with green, with nothing in between — when it comes to dressing in silk, the rule ‘less is more’ no longer applies.
