THE BEST SUMMER DRESSES
We know a thing or two about what makes a great summer dress – discover a few of our favourites
Life’s a beach
Jetting off somewhere sunny? Make sure there’s space for a summer beach dress in your suitcase – it’ll be one of the pieces you wear most. Go from beach to bar in style thanks to this one-shoulder dress, with its flattering midaxi length and cutout detail at the side. Throw it over your swimwear and style with simple strappy black sandals.

AM to PM
Summer can be a busy time for socialising, and you might not have time for a full costume change between a picnic in the park and a night out with friends. Our advice? Choose a dress that can do both – something that’s comfy enough for busy days, but that can also be glammed up easily.
We love this checked mini dress in zingy green – its flattering shorter length and puff sleeves are sure to turn heads, while its smock silhouette is breezy and comfortable. Throw it on in the morning, then stash a pair of heeled sandals and some statement jewellery in your bag, ready to transform it into an evening outfit.
BEST DAY-TO-NIGHT SUMMER DRESSES
Keep it simple
If you’re not a fan of bright colours or prints, don’t worry – we’ve got plenty of summer dresses for you, too. White is a classic shade for summer, and this linen-rich slip dress makes for one of the best pieces to have in your arsenal: it’s minimal, yet stylish. Contrast the simplicity of the dress with stand-out accessories, like a chunky necklace and statement sunglasses.
Black is known for being fashion’s favourite shade, and there’s no reason you can’t wear inky tones in the summer – just look for light fabrics and interesting details, like the flattering off-the-shoulder neckline on this Nobody’s Child dress. Dresses in neutral hues, denim blues and cream colours will work hard in your wardrobe, too.
