Arket's summer sale is finally here – these 5 linen pieces look designer but start from under £40
This is not a drill: Arket's summer sale has landed and pieces are flying off the virtual rails. The reigning champ of wardrobe staples, Arket is our go-to for minimalist hero pieces that stand the test of time, with the Scandi brand being famed for its streamlined, understated offerings. When it comes to all of the above, nothing quite fits the bill like linen; pared-back and fuss-free but always polished – not to mention lightweight enough for a heatwave. Naturally, then, we've already combed through Arket's summer sale in search of the linen looks we love most, whittling the list down to just five pieces that look incredibly luxe. We think you'll agree. First up: the Linen Blend Pop-Over Shirt. The perfect summer layer, it's lightweight and low-key, but the high-neck and wraparound detailing give it an architectural edge. Plus, a funnel neck always looks so elevated. We'd believe you if you said this was from one of the luxury houses. Next on the list is Arket's Linen-Lyocell Dress; unadorned but with an expensive-looking cut, it's a throw-on-and-go dress that's still appropriate for your more formal diary dates. Our third pick? A crisp Linen-Blend Vest. Nothing in our wardrobe works harder at this time of year and this waistcoat style can just as easily be dressed up as it can down (all the cool girls are wearing theirs with jeans and trainers). A pair of linen trousers are also a must-buy (no explanation needed) as is this Print Drawstring Blouse. Leave it to Arket to create a no-frills print that looks so much more luxe than your average floral pattern. You can shop all of our linen picks below, but be warned, they're selling out fast.£60.90 at at at at at You Might Also Like Flattering summer dresses 15 trainers you'll want to wear every day This high street moisturiser is sold every 18 seconds

How To Master the Art of Minimalist Fashion
It's often said that minimalist fashion was born in the 1920's, when Coco Chanel first introduced the world to the little black dress. 'Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance,' the designer reportedly said. Over a century later, the less-is-more approach is still considered one of the chicest ways to dress. Just consider the enduring covetability of understated labels like The Row, Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, and Phoebe Philo's Celine. Or, our collective obsession with finding the perfect white T-shirt, crisp blazer, and well-fitting pair of jeans. For all its visual brevity, minimalist fashion isn't always totally effortless to pull off. In certain hands, a turtleneck and a pair of pants can be the ultimate in sophistication—or a total snooze. To that end, minimalist fashion requires a certain appreciation for nuance. An understanding of silhouette, texture, and proportion helps, but it's mostly about having the confidence to let your discernment speak for itself. As famed minimalist artist Donald Judd was known to say, minimalism is the 'simple expression of a complex thought' and about 'the whole' being more interesting than its individual parts. In other words, minimalist fashion is as much a philosophy and a practice as it is an aesthetic. 'It's about an ease that you can feel and see,' explains creative director and stylist Ali Pew, whose Substack Uniform explores that point of view. 'It's intentional.' Below, a few tips on how to embrace minimalist fashion and make it your in essentials When it comes to choosing items for a minimalist capsule wardrobe, fashion designer Jenni Kayne says it's all about curating 'timeless' pieces that will evolve with you. 'Lean into pieces that work with anything and everything and will be with you for years to come,' she advises, adding that 'you truly can't go wrong with a crisp white button-down, a simple navy cashmere sweater, classic black trousers, and a vintage pair of jeans.' Pew says it's helpful to define your 'wardrobe foundations' and to be disciplined when shopping. 'Stick to a uniform of the pieces that make you feel the best and invest in what you truly love,' she says. 'My personal wardrobe foundations are thin knits, button downs, wide-leg trousers, blazers, tote bags, and strappy sandals—but minimalism really is about leaning into what is essential to you.'
