Accentuate bold pops of colour with off beat metallic detailing and the season's high waisted silhouette for a look that is polished but never forced. Ted Baker's range of shiny belts and bags will keep even the most determined of accessory magpies happy.

Why not team your usual office attire with their sequin detailed sandals for an added flourish to an everyday outfit which will definitely keep you cool in the city's heat.

Or alternatively pour yourself into the silky folds of the ombre print silk maxi dress for elegant evenings. Keep the look current with minimal accessories and a one of Ted Baker's bright summer clutch bags.

If sunning yourself by the pool if more your thing then the store's range of colourful swimwear is vacation perfect.

For those who would rather keep the sun off their face, their selection of straw Trilbys with cute scarf detailing is ideal for maids in the shade.

So if you're flying off to the sun, or even having to stay at home, take a leaf out of Ted's book to stay cool in hot summer style.
