We’re well into summer here in the UAE, and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. If you’re anything like us, you’re dealing with the heat by planning imaginary vacations in exotic (and more temperate) locales.

While you’re picking between the Seychelles and Maldives, there’s one other crucial concern: what are you going to wear?

Enter Whistles’ new collection for spring summer 2018. With a modern, feminine mood, this line is full of pieces you’ll want to take away on your adventures, and then keep wearing when you arrive back in your real life.

It’s luxurious and celebratory, but the collection retains that French ease. Scroll on for our picks for effortless summer style.

Punchy primary colours and bold prints bring an irreverent feel to classic wrap dresses. This has got to be the ideal in terms of day-to-night options. Pictured here are the Mimi tulip print wrap dress, Dhs1,299, and Rafi flatform sandal, Dhs595.

Light, breezy cropped trousers play well with floral shirts — we can see these pieces making work-week appearances post-holiday. This is the Lottie print voile blouse, Dhs499, and Toria casual tapered leg trousers, Dhs649.

Pajama-style separates are our kind of after-dark dressing. It’s the sweet spot between luxe and low-key. Get this look with the Serena silk wrap top, Dhs799, Palmyra print trouser, Dhs549, and Amerie tubular mule, Dhs799.

And tiered maxi dresses in pretty fabrics are always going to get worn on repeat. Pop a leather jacket over your shoulders when the sun goes down. Pictured here is the Anette Lottie print maxi dress, Dhs1,799, and Abbey deep sole trainer, Dhs749.

Whistles’ spring summer 2018 collection is available now in their City Walk store in Dubai, and at the Red Sea Mall in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
