MPX5088219: What do you wear when the sun really shines as though it means it, and you mean to enjoy it? From St. Tropez to Southend, the girls are covering up in long, drifting skirts in the prettiest possible prints.

Then they add the barest little tee-shirt tops they can find and top the lot with a demure straw hat dripping with flowers.
