Following her recent stint in the I'm a Celebrity jungle, and with the exciting news of her second pregnancy, Scarlett Moffatt is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. Now, the 35-year-old has teamed up with inclusive fashion brand Simply Be for a dreamy summer-ready edit designed to flatter a range of body types.
The new ‘All Bodies Are Beautiful’ edit launched on Friday, April 24, with pieces available in sizes 10-32. The range is packed with easy summer staples from co-ords to midi dresses that work just as well for a staycation as they do for a getaway abroad.
The collection is bang on trend when it comes to prints, too. Think gingham, fruit, florals and beach-inspired motifs, proving that body-positive fashion can be fun, practical and adaptable. What’s more is that prices start from as little as £8, meaning that a wardrobe refresh needn’t break the bank, either.
Commenting on the collection, Scarlett said: “Being in the public eye has reminded me how important it is to just be yourself and not take things too seriously. This collection is all about that same energy, embracing your body, having fun with fashion, and feeling confident in your own skin, wherever you are in life.
“ As a naturally curvy woman, finding genuinely inclusive fashion hasn’t always been easy, so working with Simply Be to style my dream summer wardrobe has been amazing. I’ve just announced I’m expecting my second baby, so it means even more to be able to shop somewhere that fits my body as it changes.”
This fruit-print co-ord is probably the standout ‘Scarlett’ piece of the edit. It’s playful, bright and exceptionally fun, which is exactly what holiday dressing should be about. The shirt features a relaxed fit and sticker style design, which pair perfectly with the matching shorts.
Perfect for poolside lunches or relaxing in the beer garden, the elastic waist on the shorts are bloat-friendly and comfortable for all day wear. The biggest bonus here is that co-ords offer a lot of versatility as the shirt can be worn with denim shorts, while the shorts can be teamed with a vest or light cardigan.
Worn together, the set makes quite a statement, however, some may find that they look a little like pyjamas when styled this way.
A good oversized graphic tee is one of the hardest-working pieces in any summer wardrobe, and this one does a wonderful job at injecting colour and personality into an outfit. The oversized tee is made from 100% cotton, making it ideal for warmer weather.
Coming in red with a banana print, it can be worn with shorts, trousers, over swimwear, or even tucked into a midi skirt. At £18, it also feels like one of the best-value buys in the collection.
I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of banana motifs this summer, too, like with this Pink Beaded Banana Graphic Short Sleeve Crew Neck T-Shirt from Next (£29). Made from 100% cotton, it’s embellished with little beads for added texture.
This matching set feels like one of the most elevated options in the edit - great for those evening meals on balmy summer nights. The monochrome print gives it a polished feel, which can be teamed with black accessories for a quiet luxury look, or paired with colourful accessories for those who prefer ‘dopamine dressing’.
The top is priced at £28 while the trousers are £36, and what strikes me is how expensive it looks compared to the price point. Linen-mix fabrics and wide-leg tailoring are really giving the holiday wardrobe aesthetic that premium feel, here.
Again, this is a set that’s easy to style with pieces you already own, but together, they’re seriously impactful. That said, strapless styles aren’t for everyone, particularly for those who want more support or prefer bra-friendly options.
Every summer collection needs a hero dress, and this gingham midaxi is exactly that. The tiered skirt, shirred back and pockets make it both practical and flattering, while the lightweight denim fabric makes it a great summer wardrobe addition.
For those who hate trying to pull an outfit together when it’s too hot to think, it’s perfect. Just add sandals and you’re done. It’ll work well for garden parties, weekend brunches or even casual office days.
As an alternative, this Oliver Bonas Blue Denim Gingham Collar Midi Dress, for example, is £85. In a tonal blue gingham pattern, it features short sleeves and a collar with a white scalloped trim and frill edge. This option is particularly good for those who may feel conscious of having their upper arms out.
Lastly, this might be my personal favourite from the collection. The Light Wash Chambray Palm Tree Broderie Top £35, and Light Wash Chambray Broderie Crop Jeans £40 are a match made in heaven, with delicate palm tree broderie detail that really set it apart from any high street competition.
The soft chambray fabric keeps it relaxed and wearable. Meanwhile, the scalloped hems and cut-out detailing make it look far more premium than its high-street price tag.
The only negative is the total price when bought together. At £75 for the full look, it’s one of the pricier options in the edit, though if it’s something you’ll wear on repeat, it can easily be justified.
