Now, while we know that the brand has recently unveiled some stunning swimsuits – including this Cream And Green Striped design, £55, and Black Floral Plunge style, £55 – as well as accessories like this Yellow Floral Daisy Embroidered Frill Bag, £54, this roundup focuses on warm-weather outfits that’ll cater to every summer event.
The Birdie range from Nobody’s Child is always a hit with fashion fans. Its signature oversized Peter Pan collar is just charming and balloon/puff sleeves always add some drama. So when the brand unveiled a new Birdie mini dress design as part of its collaboration with designer Elizabeth Scarlett, I knew it was destined to be a summer essential.
The White Floral Embroidered Birdie Mini Dress, priced at £120, is decorated with intricate embroidery bearing florals in shades of olive green, rose pink and yellow. These details can be found on the dress’ collar, sleeves, waistband and hemline.
Offered in sizes 4 to 18, it pairs well with sandals, trainers, boots or can be dressed up with some pink or green heels for a more formal occasion.
If you love more of a seaside motif, this fresh Charlie design is a charming twist on a brand classic and is covered in neat, cream coloured shells. Featuring a gingham backdrop, shirred fitted bodice and tiered A-line skirt, this £120 dress is a summer must-have.
The sleeveless top half is ideal for soaking up the sun, while the midi-skirt offers protection against any cool breezes. Plus, its flattering cut will enhance your silhouette.
As part of the Elizabeth Scarlett collaboration, it’s sure to turn heads. And yes, it has pockets. Need we say more? Get it here.
An oversized collar is a sure fire way to add interest and character to your outfit. With summer in our midst, sleeveless tops and bright colours are a must, which is why this red Bridy Blouse, £49, with its sailor collar, caught my eye.
It is a lovely way to add some vibrancy to your ensemble with little to no effort and its playful red gingham print offers a vintage look.
The sleeveless shirt can be fastened at the neck with a slim spaghetti strap that mirrors a second one at the bust. It can be fastened all the way to the top, or left open to offer a v-neckline.
Tuck it into jean shorts when the weather is scorching – it’s made from 100% cotton so is breathable – or wearing it over the top of a skirt for a flowy, boho look.
Every summer wardrobe needs a pair of denim shorts and Nobody’s Child’s partnership with Elizabeth Scarlett has provided us with this gorgeous £69 pair that come decorated with cosmic motifs.
With moons and stars delicately sewn into the pockets and at the bottom of the shorts, they’re a classic design with a bit of a twist.
The limited-edition shorts have proven popular since their launch just days ago and have already sold out in sizes 12, 16 and 18. With a mid-wash blue hue, the jean shorts are the ultimate summer staple, just pair with a tank top and sandals for an ‘easy, breezy vibe’. Get them here.
For those wanting to add some colour to your summer office wardrobe, the brand’s new button-down short sleeve blazer, £95, in this hot red shade is a fantastic choice that will enhance your summer tan and keep you cool. Plus, it comes with matching tailored shorts, priced at £59, for a charming co-ord that’ll certainly turn heads if you’re going from the boardroom to the bar.
Crafted from viscose and linen, the blazer features contrasting tortoiseshell buttons and patch pockets to compliment its boxy style.
Just like a pair of shorts, every summer wardrobe requires a white skirt, and this delightful option from Nobody’s Child is perfect if your style leans more towards boho than preppy. With a flowing silhouette and delicate lace details, the tiered lace skirt keeps comfort in mind with its elasticated waistband, making it a breeze to wear for hours on end. It costs £99.
With a flattering A-line shape, the skirt is made from 100% Organic Cotton, it’s breathable for when the weather heats up and pairs beautifully with the brand’s White Lace Detail Top, £55.
This lace skirt competes with the likes of M&S’ Maxi Tiered Skirt, priced at £49.50, Topshop’s sheer maxi with lace inserts in ivory, £42, and All Saints’ Lizi Tiered Lace Maxi Skirt, £199.

For those who prefer a bit more coverage in the summer, these Bermuda shorts will be your best friend when the temperature picks up. They cover the thighs to just above the knees and have a vintage style that flatters by skimming over the tummy and hips and cinching in at the waist, giving any outfit a timeless touch.
Available in sizes 4 to 18, they cost £59 and you can choose between an olive green or white pair, depending on your personal style.
Embrace the butter yellow trend with this bright, sunshine-coloured dress in the brand’s popular Starlight style. It features a flattering waist panel, deep V-neck, puff sleeves and a fun mini length, making it perfect for both spring and summer.
This season’s hottest colour, the £75 dress can be easily paired with sandals and a denim jacket for a casual coffee date, or dressed up with wedges and a pashmina for a smarter event.
It’s proving to be a hit with shoppers, with four sizes already running low on stock. It’s worth noting that some customers have mentioned that the dress can feel a bit roomy. If you prefer a tighter fit, consider sizing down.
And if mini dresses aren’t your thing, the Starlight is also available in a midi length and sleeveless version.
You can’t have a summer season without linen trousers – the unsung heroes of summer wardrobes, offering a chic alternative to shorts. The Nobody’s Child Jerrow trousers are a perfect pick at £75, boasting flattering pleats at the waist and an elasticated band for that snug but comfy fit.
With their wide-leg design, they fall elegantly to the floor–ideal for evening BBQs or sunny day adventures–and deliver ample swish. Plus, they’re practical with pockets and available in four versatile shades: brown, blue, khaki, and white.
Fancy going full co-ord? Snap up the matching top for £42 in blue for that effortlessly coordinated look.
Embrace the essence of summer with this tomato print midi dress – it’s a standout piece that transitions smoothly from casual to chic. The dress exudes a charming vintage vibe with its classic collar, halter-style neckline, figure-hugging silhouette, and waist-cinching back tie.
And let’s not forget about those clever shoulder clips to keep your bra straps hidden – total game-changer. Get it here.
A word to the wise for online shoppers: some have flagged ‘inconsistent sizing’ as an issue. A Trust Pilot review warns: “The dresses themselves are beautiful, but I agree that the sizing is horribly inconsistent. I have three dresses, two a size 10 and one a size 8. My size 8 is the biggest, and I can barely fit into one of the size 10! It’s insane.”
If there are any concerns about sizing, it’s recommended to check the brand’s sizing guide for each specific item to guarantee a perfect fit.
