Nothing says summer quite like the shedding of surplus layers, as jumpers and coats are tucked away and lighter layers become the MVPs in our wardrobes. And there’s only one way to kick off sundress season right – by finding the perfect one-stop-shop that caters to your sartorial summer needs. Enter Maje’s new Miss Sunset collection. The French cult brand – founded in 1998 and sold in 40 countries worldwide – is known for its irresistibly nu-bohemian offering and has got you covered when it comes to getting dressed in summer’s sweltering heat.
Known for its playfully grown-up collections with a riviera-chic twist, Maje embodies that laissez-faire cool factor French women’s style is universally known for. The new Miss Sunset capsule adds another string to the brand’s bow of fashion credibility, delivering a 25-piece-strong edit of bold summer must-haves to see you through all eventualities of the most joyous of seasons. Despite being a new addition to Maje’s roster of accessible luxury fashion, the capsule chimes with the brand's creative and uber-feminine brand identity, as intended by its founder and artistic director, Judith Milgrom.
Ranging from cut-out jumpsuits and noughties-inspired sequin co-ords to bodysuits and openwork dresses, this collection is the perfect partner for anyone with a proclivity for feelgood get-up, or, for anyone who would like to subscribe to something with a bit more impact after seasons of dabbling in new-age minimalism.
Let's take a closer look. First up: the dresses. It goes without saying that a solid selection of summer frocks must be considered the pillar of any hard-working wardrobe. Here, dresses that work at the beach, but most importantly all the way to sunset, are front and centre of the edit. A firm favourite? The floaty pink babydoll dress. Match it with a pair of party-ready heels and a mini bag for long summer nights that last until sunrise. Elsewhere, we are sold on the elegant, long-line crochet dress, which comes in purple and yellow, perfectly apt for dinner (and date) nights out.
There are, of course, pieces that work during the day, too, which are simply too good to save for the beach only. Consider these real summer do-it-all’s that wow in the city as well as closer to the seaside. The floral bodysuit top is one such wardrobe chameleon, looking the part worn over a bikini on your way home from the beach or with a pair of oversized cargo pants and kitten heels for a weekend in the Big Smoke. The good news? It comes not only as a top but also as a full bodysuit. Better still, Maje’s signature boho blouses make a cameo here, too, bringing us a step closer to perfecting our French girl holiday look, complete with the brand’s suede M bag and lightweight crochet shorts.
Feeling tempted? We don’t blame you. Unfolding like the most delicious hues of warm summer nights, the colour palette of this collection is reason alone to invest into a few pieces for the upcoming summer months. From sumptuous purple to subtle yellows and retina-searing floral prints, we are sold. Bookmark Miss Sunset now and make the most of it until the seasons start to change. Happy summer!
