Long weekends have set the tone—a holiday mood is in the air, and our wardrobes are following suit. This month, it’s all about sunset shades, easy layers and accessories designed to carry you stylishly into aperitivo hour
Fashion is an ever-changing game, and it’s no easy task to stay ahead every single time. But fret not; Tatler has got you covered with our monthly lookbook, which gives you a thematic selection of season-specific looks curated from tip to toe.
This May, we’re dressing with optimism and a touch of escapism. The palette? Pulled straight from the sky at golden hour—rich ambers, terracotta and deep coral tones that shift beautifully from city pavements to coastal terraces. Sleeves are optional, bold attitude is encouraged and accessories are going big. Think playful textures, sculptural shapes that make even a weekday feel like a getaway. Whether you’re planning a holiday or simply dressing as if you were, this month’s fashion forecast is clear: dress like the evening’s still young. With the latest must-haves of the season, Tatler brings you the very best of fashion this month.

The colours of sunset are hot this season—think rich ambers, burnt oranges and deep corals that mirror golden-hour skies. A flowing Magda Butrym dress sets the tone for seaside dinners, while bold Alexander McQueen sneakers add a flash of fire to city strolls. This summer, it’s all about colours that catch the light and linger long after dusk.
