I’m deep in the throes of planning my next holiday – island hopping in Greece perhaps? Or pottering around the whitewashed villages of Puglia? Maybe mooching around markets in Majorca? Whichever destination I ultimately land on, one thing is certain: I’m after sun-kissed skin, salty sea air and relaxed afternoons reading a book on the beach. And who says that vibe should be reserved for just two weeks a year?

Thankfully, the high street is making it easier than ever to bring some of that escapist magic home. Right now, it’s brimming with pieces that channel the easy elegance of the Med – from rustic ceramics that wouldn’t look out of place in a seaside taverna to sun-bleached linens and raffia textures that evoke balmy evenings on a balcony.
