As the sun shines bright and the days grow long, we all crave those perfect summer essentials that elevate our experience. British Vogue’s Fashion Features Director, Julia Hobbs, knows a thing or two about summer style, and she’s generously shared her must-have picks with us.
First up, Julia can’t imagine a summer without her vintage Chanel sunglasses. Not only do they shield her eyes from the glare, but they add a touch of timeless chic to any outfit.
For a little summer reading, Julia recommends “The Golden Notebook” by Doris Lessing. She plans to finish it poolside in Tuscany, where she’ll be rocking her Frankies Bikinis swim skirt and matching two-piece.
When it comes to beauty, Julia swears by Rhode’s pocket blush in the shade “piggy.” She gently dabs it onto her cheekbones and the bridge of her nose, creating a fresh, radiant glow.
Julia’s dream summer getaway is to the picturesque Le Sirenuse, where she loves watching the sunset from the terrace. A deck of cards, good company, and a glass of Ruinart on ice make for the perfect evening.
As for footwear, Julia is currently obsessed with Phoebe Philo’s round wedge 75 heels, but she’s also eyeing the New Balance x Miu Miu 530 SL leather sneakers for those quick trips through airport security.
Lastly, Julia couldn’t imagine a summer without her trusty Apple wired headphones and her oversized vintage Chanel sunglasses. These trusty accessories help her power through those early morning call times, keeping her looking stylish and feeling refreshed.
