When it comes to investing in truly special pieces for your wardrobe that will last way beyond the current season and elevate all your outfits for years to come, there’s one brand, in particular, that springs to mind: Totême. As an editor, I often get asked where to turn for pieces with these credentials, and it’s always the first brand I suggest. This is not only because the Swedish label’s collections are beautiful and have the editor-and-influencer stamp of approval a hundred times over. But also because the designs manage to be both unique and classic, adding something exciting to your capsule basics while remaining timeless.
The past few seasons from the brand have been so good, all featuring sellout cult hits with fans from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Monikh, including that ubiquitous striped knit, the classic trench and cosy scarf-jacket, to name a few. The brand refreshingly keeps its trans-seasonal heroes like these in rotation (further proving how classic they are), but we can’t help getting excited each time the brand launches a new collection and adds to its repertoire. This summer seems like it will be no exception, with fresh pieces that are getting us seriously excited for new-season dressing.
There are nine pieces or trends from Totême that I’ve already bookmarked as having cult potential, including the new ribbed-knit dresses and the dreamy silk separates. So to help you get ahead before they inevitably sell out, I’ve added links below— just in case you’ve been thinking about investing in the brand’s elevated offering or a while now. Keep scrolling to see and shop.
This ribbed slip style dress is so comfy to wear, but the on-trend maxi length and golden yellow shade make it feel elevated as well.
This rusty orange is also amazing— just imagine it with lace-up leather sandals on holiday. It won’t be long until we see so many influencers wearing this.
This year’s update to 2021’s most-wanted striped jumper— in cardigan form and perfect for throwing on on chillier summer evenings.
This could be worn on its own or with the matching shorts. I love the stitching detail.
I’m already obsessed with this comfy, chic two-piece. What’s not to love?
It comes in this gorgeous beige colour too.
These would make the perfect city shorts, but I can also imagine them on a beach with lace-up sandals.
I plan on throwing this over all my summer dresses in the evenings.
This soft jersey feels so buttery against the skin– just add trainers or a pair of heels depending on your outing.
I’m loving all these rich colours, but if you’re more of a minimalist this creamy version is a classic.
Not only is the crinkled-silk fabric gorgeous and modern, but the rich colour of this dress is unmatched— perfect for wearing against sun-kissed skin.
This white crinkled-silk co-ord feels so clean for summer. Just add a pair of tan sandals and you’ve got a timelessly chic look for all ages.
A very chic midi skirt, even on its own. It also comes in black.
It’s beautiful in the tangerine colour too.
I love the subtle logo on this easy throw-on dress.
This would look so good just with a plain white T-shirt or, of course, the matching shirt for warmer days in the office.
Totême obviously does co-ords so well, and this linen gathered-detail set is my favourite this year. Comfy yet polished for work, weekends and date nights with trainers or heels—what more could you want?
These can of course be worn as a co-ord but I also love the idea of them with a simple ribbed vest top too.
