The Hot List | Soho House

The longest day of the year is just around the corner – make the most of it with fashion, homeware and more to bring the heat

Friday 16 June 2023   By Chloe Lawrance

Each week, The Hot List brings together a round-up of the best pieces currently out there. Think of it as your cheat sheet for what’s worth your investment in beauty, fashion, interiors, and beyond. And with the summer solstice on the horizon – the longest day of the year, falling on Wednesday 21 June – there’s no better time to stock up on some heatwave-ready essentials.

Find colourful trainers to see you through those nights on one of our rooftops, festival-ready accessories, travel-size skincare to throw in your luggage, a chic ice bucket to boost your hosting credentials, and so much more. Many of the pieces we’ve hand-picked come straight from member-founded brands, so you’ll be supporting your fellow Soho House members, too.
