We know a thing or two about what makes a great summer dress – discover a few of our favourites
Planning a trip to a sunny destination? Don’t forget to pack a summer beach dress – it’ll be one of the staples you reach for the most. Transition effortlessly from the beach to a night out with a one-shoulder midaxi dress, featuring an on-trend side cut-out detail. Simply layer it over your swimming costume or bikini and pair it with black strappy sandals.
For more standout beach clothing and swimwear, check out our Holiday Shop. You’ll find lots of eye-catching accessories there too, including sun hats and straw tote bags to store all your essentials.
The summer season can be hectic, with lots of social plans and little time to swap between outfits for day and evening. Our solution? A dress that’s multifunctional – comfy enough for a day filled with activities, yet glam enough for a night out.
We’re big fans of this mini dress in a vibrant green checked print – its eye-catching puff sleeves and shorter length are striking enough for a summer party, while its smock silhouette gives it a relaxed, breezy feel. Simply dress it up with a pair of heeled sandals for your evening out.
If you prefer understated colours and designs, we have lots of options for you, too. White is a go-to colour for summer, and our linen-rich slip dress is an ideal choice. Simple and stylish, it makes the perfect backdrop for eye-catching accessories such as bold sunglasses.
Black has a reputation for being hard to wear in summer, but the trick is to look for lightweight materials with interesting touches, like the flattering off-the-shoulder neckline featured on our Nobody’s Child dress. Dresses in neutral shades and cream hues will make wonderfully versatile additions to your wardrobe, too.
