With another scorching week set to sweep across the UK, it's time to embrace the sunshine with your wardrobe.
Breezy dresses, bold colours and playful prints are the perfect place to start. For inspiration, look no further than Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who stepped out at the BBC Proms in a striking red and mauve dress.
Sophie wore the Ambrosia style from Spanish brand Matelier, accessorising with a coordinating Neo 87100 bag and her signature gold jewellery by Giulia Barela and Laurence Coste.
The stunning frock is crafted from printed chiffon and features a flattering V-neckline, ruffled skirt and chic high-low hem.
I love the vibrant print - it would be perfect for almost any summer occasion, from a day at the office to brunch or a garden party.
While Sophie opted for classic court shoes, this dress would look equally alluring with ballerina flats, strappy sandals or espadrilles.
