Every time I see someone wearing blue and white – male or female – I always think it is the freshest summer colour combo. Blue and white seems to suit absolutely everyone – whatever your hair colour, complexion or body shape. Which is why I’ve trawled the internet and come up with some great examples of this fabulously fresh colourway…

Looking cool… and when it’s hot, cotton does the trick every time. This mood-lifting striped shirt is from Floryday. MORE INFO

Brora’s relaxed fit cotton knit zig-zag t-shirt is a lightweight option for summer. MORE INFO

Bretons are, as we all know, a wardrobe staple. Here are two fabulous ones. The first is from Kettlewell Colours and is really feminine and fresh. A relaxed fit, it’s crafted from 100% cotton and has side splits at the hem. MORE INFO The second is an ultrasoft lightweight bamboo jersey from BAM has breathability, moisture-control, UV protection and anti-allergenic properties. MORE INFO

Poetry has come up with this printed linen cotton collared dress which has a relaxed silhouette (ie very comfortable to wear) and features an inverted back pleat and two hidden side pockets. MORE INFO The Artie printed midi skirt is from Hush and is a flowing slip skirt with a fitted waistband and side slit. MORE INFO

Zara’s collared cotton shirt dress has a V-neckline and elasticated sleeves that fall below the elbow. Comfortable and easy to wear. MORE INFO

A kaftan is super useful – if we ever get to go on holiday again it takes you from beach to bar to restaurant with ease and, paired with white or cobalt jeans will be perfect for a socially distanced BBQ here in the UK. Organic cotton, this one from Monsoon is lightweight and soft to the touch. MORE INFO

The Magda midi length shirt dress features a vibrant cubic print in cobalt, simple frill hem and a tie waist. Loving the three-quarter length sleeves and mandarin collar. Shirt dresses are popular for a very good reason, they give you instant chic. MORE INFO Loving the neat little blouse too – perfect for a hot sunny day with white shorts or trousers. MORE INFO

How fresh and pretty is this organic cotton Santorini dress from Aspiga? Knee length – or you could wear with some crisp white trousers – it has elbow length sleeves and is lightweight and flowing. MORE INFO Also worth checking out is their Mykonos maxi dress (only Small and Medium available though as I write this). MORE INFO

Boyfriend shirts are always useful and look equally good worn formally or dressed down. Love the cuffs on this long sleeved shirt from La Redoute – and the price is pretty good too. MORE INFO

Just look at the detailing on this striped shirt from Monsoon. A wide range of sizes to choose from and, at the time of writing, on sale at half price. MORE INFO

How about this floral puff sleeve midi dress? 100% viscose with button front fastening and tie belted waist. MORE INFO Or a bold gingham pattern in 100% linen which features a fit and flare shape, concealed button fastening at the front and finishes mid calf. MORE INFO

And my cherrypicking ends with this v neck sleeveless Odilie dress from Boden which is available in petite, regular or long and sizes 6 – 22. The flattering drapey supersoft viscose skims and flares. MORE INFO
