London summer style: what to wear to work during the heatwave

Four heatwave looks for surviving London fashionably this summer

LOOK 1

The jersey dress from Apiece Apart is relaxed and comfortable and works for any shape. Rachel Comey's red sandals – we have a soft spot for red shoes this summer – add a chic city twist to the ensemble. We've opted for a green Cabas bag from Dragon Diffusion because, why not?

This super-flattering strapless dress is from Apiece Apart. Paired here with a practical bag by Japanese brand Porter Yoshida & Co – that you can find at the Garbstore, the men's section of the shop – and Stepney Workers Club trainers, it is the ideal, breezy outfit to walk around London on a sweltering day.
