Summer countryside clothes you couldn’t get enough of

As the sun begins to set on another British summer, we’re looking back at the pieces you loved most over the past few months. From lazy garden gatherings to countryside strolls and seaside escapes, these best sellers have seen it all, and looked effortlessly good while doing it. 

They’ve been the ones you reached for again and again, the wardrobe heroes that made dressing for unpredictable British weather a little easier and a lot more stylish. Before we step into autumn’s rich textures and cosy layers, let’s give summer’s finest their moment in the spotlight. 

Benson Wax Jacket – the summer all-rounder 

Light enough for long summer evenings, tough enough for an unexpected downpour – the Benson Wax Jacket was your warm-weather wingman this year. It’s got all the heritage appeal of a classic British wax, without the heavy padding, so you can throw it on over a tee for countryside walks, coastal trips, or those post-BBQ rambles home. 

Why you love it: It’s the rare wax jacket that doesn’t feel too much for summer. Showerproof, breathable, and built in Britain from 100% premium waxed cotton, it handles both sunny spells and moody skies with ease. The detachable hood and roomy cut means you could dress it up or down, while still moving freely – making it as at home in the city as in the fields. 

Shop the wax that works in every season. 

Bransford Wax Baseball Cap – your summer shade and shower shield

Lightweight, waterproof, and built for those unpredictable summer days, the Bransford Cap quickly became a favourite this season. Crafted from 100% British Millerain waxed cotton, it offers classic weatherproofing with a modern twist – keeping you dry without overheating. 

Why you love it: The perfect balance of style and function, this cap’s waxed peak shields you from sun and rain alike, while the adjustable brass buckle ensures a snug fit that stays put no matter the breeze. Breathable lining and clever air vents mean you stay cool when the temperature rises – ideal for everything from countryside hikes to casual city strolls.

Winchester Wax Gilet – the layering essential you didn’t know you needed

Light enough for breezy autumn mornings, though enough to block the chill when the wind kicks up – the Winchester Gilet is your go-to midlayer for every outdoor adventure. Crafted from heavyweight 100% waxed cotton, it offers classic waterproofing and windproofing without the bulk of a full jacket. 

Why you love it: It’s all about versatility – the waxed shell keeps you dry and protected, while the cotton checked lining adds a touch of traditional country charm. With roomy pockets and snug corduroy collar, it’s perfect for layering over your favourite jumper or under a wax jacket when the weather calls for extra warmth. Whether you’re shooting, hiking, or simply enjoying a country stroll, the Winchester has your back without weighing you down.

Cambridge Tweed Cap – your new year-round favourite

Soft, sturdy, and effortlessly stylish, the Cambridge Cap has quietly become the season’s top pick for good reason. Crafted from a premium wool blend tweed, treated for unbeatable stain and water resistance, this cap isn’t just about looks – it’s built to keep up with whatever your day throws at you. 

Why you loved it: From breezy country walks to casual city strolls, the Cambridge Cap strikes the perfect balance between classic heritage and modern practicality. The 100% polyester lining and comfy inner trim band mean it fits like a dream, while the tough, treated tweed keeps it looking sharp no matter the weather. It’s a cap that stands the test of time – and seasons.
