Hobbs has you covered this summer


When it comes to British high street stalwarts, Hobbs sits up there with the crème de la crème. This luxury label is known for dropping chic capsules every season – but one in particular has caught our attention. Arriving just in time for the 2025 social season, Hobbs’s summer occasionwear edit is made up of all the trendy pieces you’d want to wear on the racecourse, courtside at the tennis or even at the opera.

The capsule comes packed with spring/summer 2025 trends – think moody florals, polka dots and sheer detailing – designed to spark some seasonal inspiration. But it doesn’t stop there. There are also plenty of classic silhouettes to ensure each piece stands the test of time (and the trend cycle).

Hobbs is also home to those all-important finishing touches: pretty pairs of heels, chic clutch bags and (for when the occasion calls for one) fascinators galore.

But rather than tell you about all the goings-on, why don’t we show you? Scroll on for the ultimate summer occasionwear edit, curated in collaboration with Hobbs.
