A Gen-Z’s Guide To The Best Mint Velvet Summer Essentials

Each summer, I feel inspired to purge my closet and reinvent my wardrobe with new pieces — that counts as spring cleaning, right? This season isn’t any different. Having just graduated from uni last month and now living in the city for the first time, it feels like time for a sophisticated, chic, London-in-the-summer inspired wardrobe upgrade, with tailored pieces versatile for that quick end-of-week office meeting to Soho rooftop Friday evening commute.

I’d describe my style as semi-maximalist, semi-bohemian — with bold colours, mixed patterns, and statement jewellery — now, with trendy, Central London influences. Here’s a Gen-Z’s summer-in-London edit, curated with 30 pieces from the UK’s beloved Mint Velvet…

I absolutely adore the Brown Studded Suede Shoulder Bag. Love the bohemian influences; perfect for work and weekend, and a smooth transition when it comes fall.

Red is such a classic statement colour that never gets old. I’m reminded every time I wear it I need to wear it more! 

Eagerly awaiting a wedding invite for an excuse to wear either of these stunning, textured teal dresses.

The contrast between the Indigo Denim Midi Dress’ square neckline and the puff sleeves is to die for, not to mention its drop waist.

Addison Rae just raved about flip-flops online. How could I resist purchasing a pair for myself?

I don’t ever see myself retiring the animal print and Mint Velvet’s neutral pieces offer the perfect sophisticated upgrade.
