Summer also brings exciting fashion must-haves with it – but which of them are really wearable in everyday life? Five of our fashion editors have picked out their summer favourites.
A highlight on my wrist Fashion and beauty editor Jessica has fallen in love with Ba&sh’s Ophélia bag. ©PR
Fashion piece: Ophélia by Ba&sh
Price: from 275 euros
Can be combined with: my favorite summer dress! The bag has something of a picnic basket, a beach bag and a shopper – and can be styled wonderfully with floral patterns and summery fabrics.
Portability Factor: Very high! Thanks to its multifunctional design, it can be perfectly integrated into your outfit both during the day and in the evening.
Summer must-have because: the bag is available in five different colors, I personally like the dark khaki tone very much, as it provides a nice contrast to summery patterns or light nuances.
Summer Autumn Winter Spring! The striped vest is simply an all-rounder! Whether on its own in summer or together with a knitted sweater in winter: it is always a good choice. ©PR
Fashion piece: Vest by C&A
Price: about 30 euros
Can be combined with: everything! Whether very fashionable in summer with denim shorts or a fine maxi skirt, the waistcoat brings something of the coveted 2000s style into every look. Playful accessories such as necklaces, bracelets and rings, done. Tip: also wear the matching trousers and blazer – this combination looks particularly classic.
Portability Factor: high! When the temperature scale rises again, one is particularly grateful for the free arms. Stylish and classic looks are possible in the office with the waistcoat.
Summer must-have because: the business doesn’t stop even in the hot months. The timeless and almost festive look ensures that we have a fashionable perspective in summer. The classic piece of clothing can be styled even more casually with casual pieces. Have courage!

More than a drop in the bucket Editor Julika tests the viral effect of the drop earrings from Cos. ©PR
Fashion piece: Teardrop earrings by Cos
Price: about 39 euros
Can be combined with: The teardrop earrings are capable of transforming even a simple t-shirt and jeans combo into a high fashion Scandi style.
Portability Factor: Trends are often seen as short-lived liaisons, with long-term wearability being flirted with after a few weeks at the latest. But the “drop” aesthetic accompanies me at least the whole summer. Bottega Veneta was the first, brands like Cos or Arket have now followed suit – and the earrings are now an integral part of my jewelry box. Why? The style is both universal and exciting, and the organic shape is always an eye-catcher.
Summer must-have because: the striking and at the same time elegant style can be wonderfully combined with delicate crocheted dresses and cool jean shorts and always put you in a good mood. This is how summer styling should be, right?
Love at first flower sight Does a flower dress really have to move into my closet? No. Did I absolutely have to have this dress: YES! © Ilja Gaus/PR / PR
Fashion piece: Cecile Dress by Fabienne Chapot
Price: about 290 euros
Can be combined with: Sandals, sneakers or pumps – from sporty to elegant, everything is possible and I particularly like that about this dress.
Portability Factor: The dress has a real “wow” factor. Because in addition to the great design, the back is free and creates a great eye-catcher. Can be worn either without a bra, a backless bra or tapes. Due to the free back part, the dress is really nice and airy.
Summer must-have because: I can probably never have enough floral sundresses. But this model is really a very special one, not least because of the pretty arm section. The dress can be combined in many ways and is therefore the perfect eye-catcher for every occasion.
