Its appeal is three-fold. Firstly, its prints manage to be both summer-friendly without being garish. Secondly, the materials it reaches for – think easy-breezy cottons and linens – allow skin to breathe. And lastly, the Boteh pieces I bought years ago, I still wear. This is a true forever brand that makes pieces you will wear during the warm weather over and over again.

The pieces I’m reaching for this year are proof that Boteh and its legion of pareos, dresses and blouses is still going strong. Its Peri pareo, which, yes, is as spicy as its name, its navy cotton Ismena maxi skirt and its La Choza blouse have been sitting in my basket for weeks now, and it might well be time to check out, once and for all.
