OUR GUIDE TO THE HOT DIVORCEE SUMMER TREND
Somebody call our lawyers, because the Hot Divorcee Summer trend is here, and it’s serving unapologetically glam style. You don’t need to be newly single: it’s all about dressing like you’re having the time of your life. That means statement-making, cocktail-drinking, holiday-making looks for your most confident self.
Our icons? Goldie Hawn in the classic ‘80s movie, Overboard. Joan Collins for timeless big-hat-and-bold-lipstick energy. Jennifer Lopez for Hollywood poolside posing. Jennifer Coolidge in everything. Here’s our guide to channeling that independent energy through bold summer looks (best worn on a glittering yacht deck, but a ferry also works).
BE A KAFTAN QUEEN
Floaty kaftans and flowing beach dresses in bright colours or dramatic prints are the Hot Divorcee’s summer uniform. Fill your suitcase with breezy pieces to sashay from the best sun lounger to drinks at the bar with ease. Note: A Hot Divorcee never buys her own cocktails.

THROWING SHADE
For instant celebrity mystique this summer, a big hat is an essential. Choose from a classic fedora, oversized visors, or floppy wide-brimmed number. ‘Who’s that?’ they’ll whisper on the beach. ‘And where did she get that hat?’

SUIT YOURSELF
Make a power play this summer in soft suiting. A lightweight co-ord or tailored summer suit brings a confident, polished edge to the trend. Think relaxed blazers, wide-leg trousers or mini skirts, and extra self-assurance.

EMBELLISH YOUR STORY
It’s your summer to shine, baby. Whether you go for just a little sparkle or a lot, adding light-reflecting sequins, colourful beading or intricate embroidery to your beach outfits or summer partywear is a fun, indulgent way to make an entrance (or an exit, if you catch our drift).

BE A GOLD DIGGER
This trend requires plenty of accessorising. Go big on glossy, gold jewellery, sandals with added bling, and oversized sunglasses. Colourful scarves can be worn around your neck, as a retro-glam bandana, or to throw around your shoulders on a summer evening (be sure to do this with a dramatic flourish).
