Hot Weather, Cool Looks: Discover Our Expert Picks from Matalan. Yes Matalan!

We get it — it’s not necessarily the first place you’d look for summer style gold. But trust us, these warm-weather wonders are seriously worth a second glance. From floaty dresses to breezy tailoring, Matalan’s latest drop is cool, comfortable, and quietly fabulous. Yes, Matalan. Here are the pieces we’re loving.

Look 1. Soft & Sweet

Frills, float, and a hint of French-girl ease — this white dress, £32, is pure sunshine. Cinched in just enough and tiered for drama, it pairs beautifully with earthy sandals and a striped shopper. The kind of dress you’ll wear on repeat from June to September.

Look 2: Denim Reimagined

This embroidered waistcoat, £22, proves its versatility, with wide-leg white jeans for a relaxed-but-polished take on denim. Minimal accessories and a smile do the rest. It’s a ‘go-anywhere’ outfit that does everything right.

Look 3: Green Scene

This olive-toned co-ord tunic, £18 delivers relaxed glamour with a cinched waist and loose-fit trousers, £22, that float in the breeze. Add chunky sandals for contrast and let the colour do the talking. Elegant enough for rooftop cocktails, comfy enough for the train.

Look 4: Chambray Chic

Soft blues, subtle stripes, and a two-piece set that feels like pyjamas but looks like you’re in the know. We’re loving the retro ballet flats and relaxed tailoring — the whole outfit says “summer in the South of France,” even if you’re still in Scotland.
