Other dresses strut their stuff, long and lightweight, Mediterranean hues, this one has a frilly top with skinny ties highlighting your neck dent, and asymmetric pockets, a patch one on the left, the other concealed in the right-hand seam: bold yet understated. Glowing like a buttercup, another crêpe viscose dress literally embodies summer. Its shape and details - frills on the collar, sleeves and hem - are made for twisting and shouting. And when night falls, the racy black dress is a must for a moonlight outing with its mini-teardop button neck.

Want more of that fresh feeling? Meet the white shirt in cotton organdy. It pairs sheer with sleek with its frilly collar and mother-of-pearl buttons. Other tops slide into the girly groove with feminine flair that makes a statement: it's all about frills, curves, flared sleeves, chalk-coloured crêpe viscose ruffle fronts, silk satin, slightly irregular polka dots... Delicate yet bold, especially with a white or dark denim skort. A skort? Yes, it's two for one. An ultra-modern classic.

Jackets and coats are a big thing for Comptoir des Cotonniers. They're the key piece of our everyday "uniforms" after all. Nathalie Marchal designs them to be sharp, with a strong "ligne claire" when she draws. But the summer version. Just take the oversized terracotta one that's like a scorching garrigue getaway, paired with a striped top that captures seaside dreams; or the new look work jacket with a boyfriend fit that makes a statement. And the classic denim jacket which may be an iconic piece but this time it's been given a dark denim vibe with white overstitching: a grand gesture! And the height of elegance is a new Spencer-shape cropped jacket with slims the hips and streamlines the figure. Paired with the smooth wool shorts, it's this season's must-have new suit.
