The best luxury tennis brands to buy now
Tennis has long been associated with great fashion — look no further than the tennis whites on court or the stylish onlookers in the stands. Following Luca Guadagnino's tennis drama Challengers last year, 'tenniscore' also became a wider fashion movement. While the film was an ode to the sportsmanship behind the game with preppy tennis uniforms and sweat bands, it was lead actress Zendaya's red carpet looks — most notably a pair of tennis-ball embellished heels from Loewe and a neon-green halterneck gown from Celia Kritharioti — that were possibly the most compelling elements of the film. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue The good news is that you don't need to be qualifying for Wimbledon — or even picking up a tennis ball — to join in. This season, luxury labels like Gucci and Tory Sport are paying tribute to tennis with preppy polos and box-fresh white plimsolls, leaning into the 1970s athleisure heyday with matching sets and zip-up tracksuits that work both on and off the court. Keep scrolling to discover the luxury labels offering the best tennis and après-tennis looks of the summer. Tory Sport, the sportswear line by Tory Burch launched in 2015, came as no surprise to those close to the American designer — a lifelong tennis enthusiast who captained the varsity team at her all-girls' school, no less. Burch believed that in the sportswear space, many brands were failing to create feminine styles that weren't garish or over the top. Women didn't just want pink polos or diamante trainers. While all Tory Sport collections are created with the modern woman in mind, they nod back to the retro aesthetic with 1970s-inspired tracksuits and traditional pleated games skirts. The tennis ensembles may seem too pretty to sweat in, but they are technically crafted and include seam-sealing, reflective piping and wind and water proofing. It's old-school style meets new-age tech. £310, Tory Sport £175, Tory Sport Founded in 1933 by tennis player René Lacoste, the French sports company is deeply rooted in the racket sport. Known for its revolutionary tennis polo — a flexible, lightweight shirt crafted from 'petit piqué' cotton. The brand's first designs took inspiration from Lacoste's own experience on the court, as well as his nickname, the crocodile. This moniker led to the embroidered logo on the shirt that quickly became the brand's iconic emblem. Lacoste still specialises in tennis wear, while now also offering everything from golf attire and footwear to best-selling fragrances. You can expect a collection of crisp tennis whites, more traditional sweat-wicking vests, varsity-inspired quarter-zip sweatshirts, and all the sporty accessories you could ever need — including caps, sweatbands and ankle-high socks. Recently, Lacoste also collaborated with the French Open tennis tournament on a special Roland-Garros collection, creating fresh new designs in the classic white-and-green colorway as well as a vibrant pink and blue combination. £90, Lacoste £73.50, Lacoste Despite being a luxury brand with a focus on high-quality cashmere, Brunello Cucinelli has deep links to tennis. He started his career in fashion not as a designer but by modelling for the tennis and skiwear brand Ellesse in his early twenties. With first-hand experience of sportswear brands, the Italian designer brought a practical edge into a collection of luxury tennis clothing that includes a capacious leather racket bag, a chic ball-collecting pouch and logo-embroidered towels. Alongside the sporty accessories there are luxe grey tracksuits crafted from cotton piqué as well as a £1,750 tennis dress complete with Solomeo's coat of arms — an ode to the Italian hamlet where all the products are made. £810, Brunello Cucinelli at Net-a-Porter £1,113, Brunello Cucinelli at Farfetch Founded in 2013 by Jodhi Meares, The Upside started life as a yoga clothing brand, inspired by studios around the world — from NYC and Hawaii to Sydney. When travelling across the globe for her yoga practice, Meares saw a gap in the market for bright and bold sporty designs. She wanted to lead a revolution that made yoga clothes turn cool. Now thanks to her success, alongside the bestselling leggings and unitards, there's a whole 'court sports' section full of laidback lounge pants perfect for throwing on post tennis matches, as well as pleated tennis skirts with a vintage vibe and supportive sports bras for those more aggressive rallies. £150, The Upside at Mytheresa £130, The Upside at Mytheresa Gucci's long-established love affair with tennis — and the sophisticated tennis whites and duffel bags that go with it — dates back to the late 1970s. In fact, the brand is often credited as one of the first luxury houses to merge the worlds of fashion and sport with the creation of its Gucci Tennis sneaker in 1977. As a tribute to the sport and the brand's heritage, this summer sees the launch of a new collection called Gucci Tennis, featuring styles for both men and women has been released alongside a plethora of accessories. The collection has been put to the test by Gucci global ambassador and Italian professional tennis player, Jannik Sinner. It's got plenty of tennis whites, crisp polos, pretty pleats and the brand's emblematic web stripe throughout. £1,720, Gucci £1,350, Gucci While many luxury tennis clothing brands are mean to be worn on and around the courts, Casablanca — the label designed by French-Moroccan Charaf Tajer — takes sportswear-inspired silhouettes and reinvents them as luxury loungewear. In the place of lycra and netting you'll find the brand's summery terry cloth fabric. In lieu of running leggings expect silk separates, leisurewear-inspired silhouettes and crochet polos. There are still plenty of tennis whites on offer — they simply feel more relaxed. Think of it as chilled out country club vibes as opposed to the preppy world of Wimbledon. Tajer hopes the collection evokes the clay tennis courts and sunbaked terracotta of North Africa. £190, Casablanca at Harvey Nichols £170, Casablanca at Harvey Nichols Given that husband and wife Lara and Ben Mead met when training for the London Marathon, it's hardly surprising that they went on to launch an activewear line together. A holiday they took to Santa Monica inspired them to create Varley in 2014. The brand blends Californian ease and London style with a performance-led approach, however its new arrivals feel particularly fashion-forward with knitted overshirts and scoop neck dresses. Tennis devotees will be pleased to see the latest line — the Club Collection — which is an elevated take on court dressing featuring sporty skorts and sweat-wicking tanks as well as varsity cardigans and the brand's sweet A-line tennis dress. £105, Varley at Net-a-Porter £105, Varley at Net-a-Porter Despite the name, Alo Yoga isn't just for those who wish to take it low and slow on the mat. While the brand began in 2007 in Los Angeles to cater to the yogi boom of the Noughties, it was Alo Yoga's slinky running leggings that gained the most traction thanks to supermodels showing them off post-workout while grabbing a green juice in oversized shades. It didn't take long for the brand to become an athleisure status symbol. Alo Yoga's two signature fabrics include the lightweight airlift and sculpting airbrush which are both supportive and smoothing, and the brand's court sports section is a tribute to retro tennis styles with knitted jackets and sweater dresses fit for a Hampton's tennis club. £98, Alo Yoga at Net-a-Porter £120, Alo Yoga at Net-a-Porter Having grown up in Canada with a love of streetwear brands, Emily Oberg set up the athleisure brand Sporty & Rich when she moved to the US in 2015. With its vintage sportswear aesthetic that takes inspiration from the Sloane Rangers of the 1980s (think Princess Diana in an oversized sweatshirt and cycling shorts combo), the brand started life as an Instagram moodboard and has since become an off-duty uniform for the super elite — hence the name. The collection is both prim and proper with crisp white tennis skirts but also features baggy varsity hoodies that have that effortlessly cool 'borrowed from the boys' feel. After sporty collaborations with Prince, Lacoste and Adidas, this summer the brand has announced a new partnership with the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Expect logo adorned swimsuits, preppy polos and timeless tennis separates. £170, Sporty & Rich at Net-a-Porter £138, Sporty & Rich at Net-a-Porter The Times Luxury is brought to you by the award-winning team behind the Times Luxx magazine.

Halle Berry Wears Burgundy Old Hollywood-Inspired Ensemble at 2025 Cannes Film Festival
The Oscar winner is a festival jury member at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival Since arriving on Tuesday, May 13, she has shown out in several showstopping looks On Monday, May 19, Berry arrived at the Chopard Universe Gala Evening in an Old Hollywood-inspired lookHalle Berry was dripping in diamonds and rubies at the another 2025 Cannes Film Festival event. The actress is a festival jury member this year and arrived at the Chopard Universe Gala Evening in an Old Hollywood-inspired look on Monday, May 19. There, she appeared in a deep burgundy satin gown that featured a strapless and bustier corset bodice. The gown's skirt included a deep center slit, and an elaborate architectural detail that sat atop her hip. The Old Hollywood ensemble was enhanced by her wavy, sophisticated bob, her dark burgundy eyeshadow look and matte nude lipstick. The actress, 58, accessorized with matching burgundy pointed-toe pumps, diamond and ruby rings and detailed chandelier earrings. The day before at the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards and Cannes Film Festival Presidential Dinner, she sparkled in a crystal column gown. The Oscar winner donned a semi-sheer gown that was embellished with an intricate circle design created by crystals. The gown was custom Gucci, per Women's Wear Daily. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. That same day, she attended The Phoenician Scheme red carpet in a Chanel suit. Both the wide-leg pants and a coordinated long-sleeve jacket included pastel floral patterns and black detailing. The actress confessed to WWD that planning her looks for the festival is 'a bit overwhelming.' 'It is the biggest world stage, and so there is a sense of 'We have to get this right. We have to find things befitting of this moment and what this festival means to the world,'' she said. 'So it's something that we've taken really seriously, and I've had a lot of fun doing it and wanting to make sure, because it is Cannes, that it stays chic and elevated and elegant. That's what Cannes at least represents to me,' Berry said. But at the start of the festival at the Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premiere on Wednesday, May 14, she may have overstepped the festival's new red carpet protocol. Ahead of the festival, the dress code was updated to prohibit "voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater." Nudity was also banned, per an official FAQ website for the event, which stated that "welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules." Still, Berry commanded the carpet in a black and pink Celia Kritharioti confection featuring a bulbous high-low skirt and a decent-size train at the back. However, prior to the festival's kickoff on May 13, Berry told Variety that she had an "amazing dress by [Gaurav] Gupta" that she had to put aside from the opening ceremony because it had "too big of a train." 'I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule," she added. Read the original article on People

Halle Berry and Heidi Klum shine despite new Cannes dress code banning nudity, 'excessively voluminous' looks
Halle Berry stunned when she arrived at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival in a black and white striped floor-length Jacquemus gown with a halter neckline. While Berry looked great in the dress, it wasn't her first choice. Berry was forced to change her outfit after a last-minute announcement ahead of the 2025 festival that organizers had decided to ban nudity and "excessively voluminous" clothing, which also includes dresses with long trains. "I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train," Berry told Variety. "I'm not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule." The star posted photos from the opening night on her Instagram, and fans flooded the comments with compliments. One fan wrote, "Still as beautiful as ever (the definition of aging like fine wine)," and another added, "As they say Hallie [sic] is Living Her Best Life." Berry also walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning." She posed for photos at the premiere in a strapless black and pink Celia Kritharioti dress. "Wow!!! Stunning!!!! GORGEOUS!!!" one fan wrote in the Instagram comments of a post she shared from the festival. Another wrote, "She never misses! Always best dressed," while a third added, "Sis, you killin' em!" Angelina Jolie turned heads when she walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Eddington" at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The actress stunned in a strapless sequined nude Brunello Cucinelli gown with circular designs embroidered throughout. Jolie is this year's godmother of the Trophée Chopard award, meaning she will present the Trophée Chopard award, which goes to two young actors to encourage them in their career. "I am honored to be godmother at the Cannes Film Festival. I am pleased to have a moment to recognize young artists and their exceptional work," Jolie told Women's Wear Daily. Natalie Portman shut down the red carpet when she posed for photos at the premiere of "Eddington" at the Cannes Film Festival in a strapless silver and black sparkly dress. She appeared at Cannes just a few days after the actress shared that she and her two children had moved to Paris, telling Net-a-Porter she enjoys the privacy the city has to offer. Heidi Klum wore a strapless pink floral Elie Saab dress with a thigh-high slit and cascading layers of pink fabric. The dress featured a long train, but it's unclear if it broke one of the new dress code rules set forth by the Cannes Film Festival organizers this year. The rules were announced on Monday, one day before the start of the festival. "For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival," the dress code on the festival website states. "Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted. The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules." She kept her accessories and makeup to a minimum and wore her blonde hair down in a middle part. Klum also walked the carpet at the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning." The supermodel wore an off-the-shoulder figure-hugging purple sequined gown that featured a plunging neckline and a small train. Emma Stone posed for photos on the red carpet at the premiere of "Eddington" in a form-fitting white gown with a dramatic neckline featuring a large round disk that sat above her chest. The actress kept her accessories to a minimum, letting the dress do the talking, opting only for a pair of drop earrings and a ring. She stars in the new Western horror movie that takes place during the COVID-19 pandemic and tells the story of townspeople turning against one another after a conflict between the sheriff and the mayor. Bella Hadid arrived on the red carpet on opening night of the Cannes Film Festival wearing a black Saint Laurent dress with a loose neckline that draped around her lower neck and chest. She accessorized the look with emerald earrings, a heart-shaped diamond ring and rhinestone-encrusted high heels. Eva Longoria wore a strapless metallic gold Tamara Ralph gown when she arrived at the premiere of "Leave One Day" on opening day of the Cannes Film Festival. She accessorized the dress with a statement necklace designed to look like leaves, matching earrings and rings and gold high heels. Longoria also walked the carpet at the premiere of "Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning." This time around, Longroria chose to wear a sequined green dress with a halter neckline and a long train behind her, pairing the look with minimal accessories, except for a pair of earrings. The "Desperate Housewives" actress wore her hair in a loose updo, leaving a few pieces out in the front that framed her face. "Dipped in green," she captioned the Instagram post featuring photos from the event. Fans quickly took to the comments section to compliment the actress, one writing, "Wow! Flawless," and another adding, "You look more exquisite each time. Winning." Andie MacDowell stunned when she arrived at the premiere of "Case 137" at the Cannes Film Festival in a form-fitting vintage Alberta Ferretti slip dress with black lace on the neckline. She wore her signature gray hair in a side part with big curls and kept the makeup looking natural. She also wore no accessories, letting the dress get all the attention.

Halle Berry flouts the Cannes Film Festival's strict new dress code as she hits the red carpet in a voluminous black-and-pink gown at Mission: Impossible premiere
Halle Berry flouted Cannes Film Festival 's new dress code on Wednesday evening as she hit the red carpet in a voluminous gown ahead of the hotly anticipated Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning screening. The American actress, 58, who was forced to change her opening ceremony dress last minute due to the festival's new risqué dress ban, looked incredible in a chic black-and-pink gown from Celia Kritharioti's Spring 2025 Couture collection. However, Halle seemingly broke the festival's controversial new rules as her floor-length gown boasted a fitted black bustier, a voluminous checked pink skirt, and a black train. The Catwoman star added height to her frame with a pair of pointed black court heels, featuring diamond ankle straps. She further elevated the glamorous red carpet ensemble with a dazzling diamond statement necklace. To complete her look, she styled her short brunette bob in tousled waves and wore a radiant makeup palette. Her red carpet appearance comes after she revealed she was forced to make a last-minute change to the dress she'd planned to wear for the Film Festival's opening ceremony, due to the event's strict new rules on risqué gowns. The actress is no stranger to stunning with her looks, and even went underwear-free in her daring dress at the Met Gala last week. But as this year's festival kicked off with its opening ceremony on Tuesday, Halle confessed she had to reconsider the outfit she'd planned, as its long train breached the festival's new rules. Over the weekend, Cannes organisers released strict new guidelines in an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. Speaking at the festival's first press conference, Halle said: 'I had an amazing dress by Gupta to wear tonight, and I cannot wear it because the train is too big. 'Of course, I'm going to follow the rules, so I had to make a pivot. But the nudity part, I do think, is probably also a good move.' The Catwoman star was also asked her thoughts on calls for a female incarnation of James Bond, following the rights to the franchise being acquired by Amazon. Halle insisted there shouldn't be a female Bond, saying: ' I don't know if 007 really should be a woman. 'I mean, in 2025, it's nice to say, Oh, she should be a woman, but I don't really know if I think that's the right thing to do.' The star has joined big names including Juliette Binoche and Jeremy Strong on this year's Cannes Jury. 'This is a huge honour to be asked to be a part of this jury,' Halle added. 'This is one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As we talked about in our jury meeting, careers are made in this festival, and so I take it as a real honour to be here and share this experience with these wonderful jurors. 'My expectations are to be a part of this jury and get to know all these wonderful people that are part of this experience. I expect to see wonderful films.' 'I don't think there's any preparation. I think just being in film for 30 years, I do think I have a unique perspective. We all do. We all have a unique perspective when we watch film. 'No one person owns the truth. All we will be able to do, the nine of us, is to give our own individual perspectives on all the movies that we're going to see. I look forward to hearing what everybody else has to say. 'That's the beauty that makes us human, is that we're all different and we all see things from our different cultural backgrounds, our family of origin, our age, our gender. 'I'm looking forward to the conversations and really seeing what brings us together, but also sometimes those things that separate us because that's also beautiful.' Over recent years, the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency,' will be implemented when French director Amélie Bonnin's Leave One Day opens the ceremony this week. According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. The new rules have also banned voluminous gowns with long trains, as they 'hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre.' 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. The actress is no stranger to stunning with her looks, and even went underwear-free in her daring dress at the Met Gala last week Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed seven-day schedule in Cannes. It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets, and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles. Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement. Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions. Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors). She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump's biopic The Apprentice

How to dress for the heat, according to Europe's most fashionable
Break out the factor 50 and stoke up the BBQ, a heatwave is upon us. Yet with the sunshine comes the annual existential crisis over our summer wardrobes – what on earth do you wear when it's just so damn hot outside? After all, the pieces we usually reserve for holidays on the Mediterranean – namely swimwear, crochet dresses and denim shorts – just don't feel very appropriate for the office or the city. Throw in air-conditioning and the Tube and it's a real head-scratcher. To help us navigate this increasingly rare occurrence, we surveyed some of the most stylish women on the continent – a Greek fashion designer, Turkish fashion editor and Italian stylist – to find out how to look chic and stay comfortable in the heat. After all, with lives that regularly see them working in temperatures above 20 degrees, they are certainly best placed to know. The cornerstone of a great summer look, first and foremost, is comfort – which means wearing something that won't leave you dripping in sweat. This is where your natural fabrics like cotton and linen come in – they are the MVPs of summer dressing for a reason. Yet our continental cousins know that not all of them are created equal. 'Linen, with its airy texture, keeps you cool and exudes a relaxed elegance,' shares Greek fashion designer Celia Kritharioti. 'I look specifically for cotton in fine weaves, because it is incredibly breathable and comfortable. Crêpe georgette, with its light and flowing nature, adds a touch of ethereal beauty too and will keep you cool.' Vogue Turkey's fashion director, Ceylan Atınç, prefers weightier fabrics. 'I'm quite specific about texture,' she says. 'I love a crisp, structured cotton or a slubby, heavy linen that holds its shape.' For her, it's all about ensuring there's still sharpness to the silhouette. That said, she's not averse to the charms of silk. 'I also wear a lot of silk – especially in the evenings – because it moves beautifully and doesn't cling. Breathability is everything, but I also care about how a fabric falls and how it makes you feel.' Kritharioti is also a fan of silk. 'Summer fashion should feel effortless,' she says. 'Nothing feels better next to skin than silk. It drapes beautifully and I love how it skims the body.' For daytime, Kritharioti recommends something simple and elegant – which is where her beloved kaftans come in. 'A beautifully tailored, flowing silk kaftan is something easy to throw on,' says Kritharioti. 'Think vibrant hues and intricate embroidery, perfect for a leisurely lunch by the sea or a stroll through the charming streets of Ios, Portofino or Saint Tropez. The loose silhouette allows for breathability, and the silk feels divine against the skin.' If you aren't a fan of floaty dresses, and think kaftans might be too beachy for your day, then fear not – your trusty trousers can also work in the heat, according to Italian stylist Ramona Tabita, whose clients include Italian popstar Elodie and model Mariacarla Boscono. 'I like to play with contrasts, even in summer,' she says. 'Pairing more tailored, masculine trousers with a simple tank top strikes a balance between structure and ease.' Atınç also defaults to trousers and is inspired by Lauren Hutton and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. 'It's that mix of masculinity and ease,' she says. 'In the summer, I live in oversized cotton poplin shirts, tailored bermuda shorts, or relaxed linen trousers.' Shop the look: under £100 Her top tip is to play with shape by adding lightweight layers that don't make you warmer, such as a waistcoat. She also advises wearing pieces that let the body move and breathe. 'When it's really hot, I prefer looks that don't touch too much skin – I find it's actually cooler that way,' she says. 'It's all about balance: something airy, but never too bare.' Of course, summer is the time when you can get away with being more bold with your choice of colour, which is unsurprisingly a staple of the Mediterranean wardrobe. 'I love colour and even more so during summer,' says Kritharioti. 'It makes me happy. I wear a lot of turquoise, reminiscent of crystal-clear waters, as well as green, orange, deep red and pink. Of course, it helps that these colours also compliment the summer tan.' For Atınç, it's also an opportunity to be more playful with colour combinations too. 'I usually stay in a neutral palette – sand, cream, khaki, pale grey,' she shares. 'But I do enjoy playing with unexpected pairings, like chocolate brown with lemon or washed-out blue with olive, those are two of my favourites right now.' Those who usually steer clear of prints can experiment more in the summer – and it doesn't need to just be florals. 'I don't wear a lot of prints, but if I do, they tend to be abstract or graphic, something that feels a bit offbeat,' says Atınç. 'And I love stripes in summer, always.' Shop the look: over £100 When it comes to your accessories, Kritharioti recommends stocking up on pieces from your travels, which you can break out during a heat wave at home to remind you of your last trip. 'There's so much joy in souvenir jewellery, things you can pick up in small shops in Santorini or Hydra or Ios, bracelets and necklaces that are filled with holiday memories,' she says. 'I especially love pieces adorned with turquoise and corals for summer, and I combine them with my everyday jewellery, like my Tiffany Hardware necklace.' Last summer's must-have, the bandana, is top of Tabita's list for hardworking accessories – unsurprising when you consider Zoe Kravitz is her summer pin-up. 'They are so versatile,' she says. 'Whether I wear them on my head in a 2000s-style, or even as a top, they add that effortless, edgy vibe to my looks.' And for evening? Skin wins ultimately – there's nothing better on a balmy night. 'An open-back dress feels elegant, airy, and perfect for warm summer nights,' says Tabita. 'It lets the skin breathe and creates a strong visual impact with minimal effort – my favourite way to feel both sophisticated and fresh.'
