‘Hot Divorcée Summer’ Trend: What Is It And How To Embrace It

red-and-white striped umbrellas jutting into blue sky

If you’re looking for this summer’s defining attitude, look no further: it’s all about the 'Hot Divorcée'. And it is an attitude. You don’t even have to be divorced. Or contemplating divorce. Or have ever been married, for that matter.

Well, we’ve had Hot Girl Summer and Brat Summer - and while attitude has no age limit, both carried a distinctly youthful energy. Even without the idea that ‘brat girl’ was a delightfully hot mess of smudged eyeliner and all-nighters, the words ‘girl’ and ‘brat’ are loaded with younger meaning. Divorcée? Not so much.

Women Who Launch: Meet Footwear Designer Florrie Dowley

2nd June 2026

Over the decades, there are many women who have epitomised the London girl—from Twiggy to Kate Moss, she has shifted her form and evolved with the times. This modern powerhouse was someone who shoe designer Florrie Dowley realised was being overlooked by the ateliers in Italy. “When I started working for Aquazzura, the fashion world was still in a place where women were wearing 6-inch heels and would have a pair of ballet flats packed in their handbags to change into,” she explains. “The modern woman wants something she can wear from day-to-night easily—effortlessness says ‘cool’ more than anything else—and there is something very dated about the idea of changing your clothes or shoes to go to dinner or drinks.”

A Modern Midas

27th May 2026

The allure of sustainable fine jewellery has rocketed in recent years, with consumers trading mass-produced jewels and trinkets for more ethical pieces that stand the test of time. Leading the crusade is Eliza Walter whose brand, LYLIE Jewellery, transforms salvaged gold, in combination with lab-grown or recycled diamonds and gems into whimsical heirlooms.

Women Who Launch: Philippa Thackeray of Paper London

26th May 2026

“Ten years in, I know that commitment is not a feeling. It is a practice. Some days it is exhilarating, some days it is an act of pure will. The brand you see now is built equally on both,” says Philippa Thackeray, founder of destination-led lifestyle brand Paper London. The stylish entrepreneur is no stranger to diving headfirst into the unknown—as if earning a law degree and becoming a corporate lawyer wasn’t enough, Philippa decided to switch gears entirely when she felt the pull to launch a “bold, directional womenswear brand.” Statement swimsuits in striking silhouettes became the brand’s signature, but in recent years, it’s their innate ability to partner with hotels and craft wanderlust-inducing narratives that has really helped them stand out.

In Prada We Trust: The Ultimate Milan City Guide

8th May 2026

The long-awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is finally on our screens, reuniting the original cast twenty years after Miranda Priestly’s withering contempt made Meryl Streep even more of an icon than she already was (if such a thing is possible). The new release sees Andy (Anne Hathaway) returning to Runway in a features editor role, but that’s not to say that she doesn’t get to visit one of the fashion capitals of the world - Milan. And while Fashion Week is already over for this year, fashion is a constant, not a calendar event, in this glamorous Italian hotbed of style. It is, after all, the home of the sciura - the archetypal Milanese woman known for her impeccable dress sense and attention to quality, detail and elegance. If you want to immerse yourself in sophistication and quiet luxury, Milan is your city. “That’s all.”
