Why Hush's new collection solves all our summer outfit dilemmas - from office to holiday to garden party

Hush is one of the unsung style heroes of our fashion rotation here at Good Housekeeping HQ. So often I ask a colleague "where did you get that?" to have the answer as Hush. Only last week our editor-in-chief Jane Bruton was singing the praises of their Rosey animal print dress, a piece she has gotten a lot more wear from, and more compliments about, than she ever expected. Which got me to thinking - what's it about Hush that hits the spot so successfully?

When their brand new summer edit arrived to my in-box, it gave me the opportunity to look into the subtle ingredients that make-up their successful style formula. Hopping from their tumeric orange Liddie air-flow barrel dress, a column of relaxed colour which floats around the body, (and cools it down in the heat), to their matching sets - a pretty crinkle milkmaid top with matching wide leg trousers in burgundy (good for this season and next) and an easy matching animal print short-sleeve shirt and wide-leg trouser, I realised.

And this is it: while Hush create statement clothes that fit this season, and the next few after that, they are all imbued with a relaxed elegance that lets whoever is wearing it shine above the clothes. In short, you wear the clothes, they don't wear you. It's this alchemy which elicits comments. Yes the clothes are great, but this greatness comes from the marriage of the person and the clothes being more than the sum of their parts.

Which is why I pulled this edit together for you. Every single piece I have selected here can take you to a summer event, to the office, or on holiday. All that's required to shift the outfit to the setting is you! Oh, and a few accessories, which, of course Hush have thought-through too. Their oversized raffia tote, leather twist footbed sandals which support feet, and even their pebble pendant cord necklace are pieces that will take you everywhere. My personal favourites are the lightweight orange dress in a washable planet friendly fabric- so easy and chic, and you'll never get lost in a crowd wearing it; the pebble necklace and the burgundy off-the-shoulder Zoe top.

The top will allow me to take my favorite everyday shorts for a night out this summer, and work for autumn and beyond too - plus it has matching trousers to make it work as a versatile outfit. The pendant will fit right in with my everyday tangle of necklaces and bring a happy summer mood to my style. If you're currently looking for a forever item of clothing to freshen your summer style, any one of these will deliver.
