FIVE REASONS TO LOVE THIS MAXI

The Fashion Lift’s Fran Bacon on why this button-through dress is a wardrobe winner

1. The colour works with a khaki shacket, classic trench or any-shade-of-blue denim jacket – the boxy raw-hem of this one looks great with the fluid dress.

2. You could wear it with tan sandals now or ankle boots in autumn.

3. I’ve styled it with leopard-print slingbacks. When it comes to pattern clashing, think of leopard print as a neutral and you won’t go far wrong.

4. You can change it up by undoing the buttons to create different-length splits. Plus, it has pockets.

5. It’s as light as a feather so perfect for layering.
