Stylist: DEBORAH BRETT Holiday Special Part 3

In our final part of Deborah Brett’s holiday special, she focuses on what to take on a Summer beach holiday with her favourite pieces from IRIS.

“What I love about Summer holidays is that you have the chance to dress like a totally different person. You can be more colourful, more feminine and show a different side of yourself to your normal day-to-day life. You should cherry pick beautiful pieces – these clothes are things to treasure over the years. They only come out for a few weeks a year so will last really well”.

Look 1:

BA&SH Lauren Silver Print Dress with IRIS Leather Strap Wedge Espadrille

“This is a perfect day dress. It’s a delicate colour with fine silver detailing, and a very simple shape so super easy to wear. It looks equally good with espadrilles or flats. You could throw it on over a bikini or head out to a restaurant. I’d wear this in London too – with a pair of Isabel Marant Dicker boots, and with a denim jacket over the top, it would work well in to the Autumn too.”

Look 2:

IRISCheesecloth Jumpsuit, ELENA LEBESSI,Woven Thong Sandal,STARMELAPom Pom scarf

“Jumpsuits are fun, easy pieces. I have loads – mainly in black. Pop on a jumpsuit when you don’t know what else to wear – they’re comfortable and lightweight. You could wear it out during the day and smarten it up for evening. I love these flats – you can see that they’re handcrafted, they’re a bit different and they’ll set you apart from everyone else. This scarf adds a pop of colour – I love bright colours in the Summer! It’s super versatile – you could lie on it on the beach, use it as a sarong – it’s perfect to take on the plane when it can get quite chilly. I also love wrapping scarves round my bags to add colour.”

Look 3:

BA&SH Luss maxi dress with K Jacques Marathon metallic Sandals.

Maxi dresses are always a holiday staple. They’re super easy to wear and take you from the beach to a dinner in town. They look effortlessly cool with flats and are great for when you are ready to show off bronzed skin. This one has a gold sparkle which gives it a Summer evening feel. The Sophie Anderson bag adds a pop of colour. I like wearing her bags in the city too – they add a touch of cool to a city look.”

Deborah…On kaftans and cover ups :

These never go out of fashion. I love picking them up in markets and finding lovely vintage ones. I also love anything with pompoms! As an alternative to the kaftan, I’ve recently moved on to wearing an oversized shirt– so clean and crisp, I love that look.

Stylist: DEBORAH BRETT Holiday special part 2

In part two of our Summer holiday special, stylist and fashion editor, Deborah Brett, picks her favourite pieces from IRIS for a British seaside holiday. “The British weather can be very precarious, so you have to embrace whatever it throws atyou.You need to be more practical with a holiday in the UK , but that doesnt mean compromising on style. A great pair of boyfriend jeans for long walks on the beach, a new take on the fishermans sweater the key is comfort and layering”.

I love these dark denim boyfriend jeans they have a workwear feel. A peasant top is a wardrobe staple they never really go out of fashion and just happen to be on trend this season. I love them and collect vintage ones. Wear them down to the beach, over a bikini, with denim cut offs they’re so versatile. Back home, they work well with a pair of flares and statement earrings for an evening look. I love straw baskets I have tons of them, and I like decorating my own with pom poms.

Look 2

Star Mela top, Frame Boyfriend jeans , Elena Lebessi shoes

Nothing is fresher than wearing white on holiday, and I absolutely love this embroidered top. I love anything with a vintage tablecloth feel like something you might pick up in a French market. With a pair of jeans and nice flats – its so simple. These jeans would also look fabulous with an oversized shirt.

I love the blue of this jumper, the cotton knit is perfect for Summer and its the perfect update on the classic fishermans sweater. Its an easy English Summer look. Layer it up with a linen tee underneath. This Jerome Dreyfus bag is gorgeous with the tie dye leather.

With boyfriend jeans, I like the idea of mixing masculine and feminine, so would pair them with something femininelike a Victoriana shirt or broderie anglaise top. I’d put a tuxedo or unstructured jacket over the top it gives it a very modern look. I love flares too and like wearing double denim, with a fitted denim shirt. Cropped jeans like the MiH Paris jean give a French 60s vibe. They look great with brogues or ballerinas , an oversized sweater, or a trench over a simple t-shirt.
