Summer in Positano
The vibe is lemon groves, cobbled streets and a photogenic bowl of pasta. This fantasy is built on pieces that look inherited rather than bought: white linen trousers that skim the floor; a halter-neck maxi dress in butter yellow; raffia bags; flat leather sandals; and gold hoops large enough to catch the Mediterranean sun.

Yacht energy
You do not need to own a yacht. You just need to dress like someone who has one on standby. Navy and white might seem cliche, but with pops of gold hardware and immaculate tailoring, they’re a great foundation to build from. Think crisp shorts, oversized shirts and a huge pair of sunglasses that make eye contact optional. As for the beauty look, channel “old money”. Soft matte skin, brushed brows and a nude manicure that looks like it costs more than your lunch (but really, it doesn’t). Bonus points if you’re carrying a book you’ll never actually read.

Resort-core glam
This is for the woman who changes outfits between breakfast and the pool. Resort-core sits somewhere between luxury spa and rooftop cocktail hour. Floaty kaftans, silky matching sets and dramatic sunglasses are the uniform. Metallic sandals and statement earrings do most of the heavy lifting. Skin should look glazed, not glittery. A body oil with a subtle shimmer, a soft smoky eye and fluttery lashes complete the picture.

Rich auntie abroad
She arrives late because she was shopping. She tips generously. She knows everyone at the hotel. Rich auntie style is synonymous with confidence and quality. Flowy wide-leg trousers, bold printed shirts, sculptural jewellery and a statement bag all belong in this universe.
The beauty look is equally timeless: a flawless base, a warm brown lip, softly defined eyes and a signature fragrance that everyone – even the bar staff – will remember.
