“The design process for the collection started with conversations around a high summer capsule, which we thought would be perfect for this exclusive range. We started to pull colour palettes and create hand-drawn artwork, as well as developing custom broderies and gingham colourways. We've worked these design details into the key pieces for the season: both our most iconic silhouettes and the modern pieces that feel fresh and new for the season.”

Our inspiration

“The team was inspired by airy silhouettes, sun-washed textures and refined simplicity. Aiming to evoke a sense of quiet strength and the golden ease of long summer days, the collection features a deep palette built on rich colours and earthy tones, paired with light textures and breezy silhouettes.”

Co-ordinating separates are always a game-changer for your summer wardrobe. Wear together for maximum impact or team with other items to make them work even harder. We're loving this sunshine-yellow halter-style top worn with a sweeping midi skirt in this year's rich chocolate brown, ideal for adding bold new colour into your new-season outfits.

“Our hero print of the collection is an earthy, abstract print with organic shapes in a brown and cream palette. Hand-drawn by the Nobody's Child team, it’s bold, striking and can be found on our bestselling Zita dress and the matching co-ord. Another highlight in the collection is our Annika dress that comes in a sun-soaked, marigold shade for a statement summer look.”

Easy summer outfits start with a dress. The key is to choose something versatile so it works for all the plans you have in the diary; just switch up your accessories to dial up or down depending on the occasion. Choose a light, breathable option for long, hot days at home or abroad (like this striking yellow midi dress). Pair with mules or sandals for dressed-down days then slip into sleek slingback kitten heels to add a sharper edge for smarter destinations.

The perfect mix

“Our most popular pieces combine effortless wearability with our signature feminine style. The M&S/Nobody's Child customer is drawn to styles with broad appeal and an easy, reliable fit. These are the pieces she can return to season after season that are timeless and dependable, yet still with a subtle nod to current trends, allowing her to feel modern and fashion-aware, while staying true to her personal style.”

Summer dressing should have an edge of fun and frills are always the answer. This flouncy dress ticks this season's trends box with its polka-dot print, bohemian-style ruching and mini length. We think it's the ideal must-pack for balmy summer nights underneath the stars.
