For the last few years, I’ve been struggling to find the balance between comfortable and cute in my summer wardrobe.

The clothes that I do have fall into one of those two categories, but never both.

If you ask me, the platonic ideal for summer clothes is pieces you can picnic and lounge around in during the day, and wear straight out to drinks. And of course, they need to be breathable and flattering at the same time.

While I’ve been searching high and low for that combination, I somehow always end up with grass stains on some of my more precious clothes, or feeling severely underdressed while sipping on my Aperol. Needless to say, my hunt has, thus far, been unsuccessful.

If you had told me a year ago that the outdoor brand Regatta Great Outdoors was going to launch a lifestyle collection that would become my go-to for summer, I would’ve laughed. But the best thing about fashion is it’s forever surprising.

So I’m happier than I’ve ever been to say I was wrong! I know now that I’ve been looking in all the wrong places, because the brand has just launched its summer line that has everything I’ve been looking for, and more.

I’m talking floaty summer dresses with pockets, co-ords that are as work appropriate as they are beachwear, and even options for date night.
