Over the past few months, London's style sphere has made a case for five-a-day fashion.
Coined by many as the ‘produce aisle aesthetic’, fruit-peppered fashion pieces are having a major moment right now and have been for the past wee while. Just a few weeks ago, Emily Ratajkowski donned a tomato-adorned slip dress during one of her hot girl walks, while Zendaya sported a forbidden fruit look to this year's Met gala.

Whether sitting beachside sipping on a strawberry daiquiri, eating a whole caprese salad for dinner because the thought of anything else might give you heatstroke or just because fruit always tastes better when wearing a bikini, fruit and summer are a duo unmatched.
From citrus-inspired arm candy to stackable charm necklaces and printed dresses, here’s every fruit-themed fashion item we’re adding to our basket this summer…
