12 Must-Have Dresses For Summer!

THE MAXI DRESS:

Maxi dresses have been having a moment for quite a few seasons now, and we can see why! 

From maxi dresses with plenty of boho vibes, flattering finishes and all-around smart casual glamour – the maxi dress is the perfect partner for day-to-night dressing, meaning you’ll feel just as fabulous at the office as you will at the bar. 

For an extra flattering finish, don’t forget to add a statement belt! If you’re opting for a boho, floaty maxi dress, this will help accentuate your curves and cinch in your waist. 

If you’re after a more casual look, pair yours with your favourite pair of trainers, or add some ankle boots in a contrasting colour for an extra edge. 

To get the most out of a button-through maxi dress, turn it into a kimono by wearing it over some jeans or shorts and a casual tee for a fabulous layered look. Alternatively, when buttoned up, add chunky knit over the top to create a maxi skirt effect – 3 outfits from one dress… now that’s the versatility we like to see! 

THE MIDI DRESS:

We’ve been guilty of steering clear of mid-length styles in the past, cautious of the calf length finish and the uncertainty of how to style them, but we’ve been neglecting a real wardrobe staple and a style that’s as versatile as it is classy. 

This season, we’re embracing the midi dress and all the glorious outfit choices that come with it. 

For summer adventures, simply wear your midi dress with a pair of pumps or sandals for a cute summery look and protect yourself against the chill with a cool denim jacket or knit cardigan. 

If you’re after something a little more sophisticated that’s still got a casual edge, try a boxy blazer to amp up the sophistication and add a cute pair of heels and a handbag for lunch, brunch and date night vibes.  

You’ll find lots of remarkable midi styles in our wardrobe in seasons to come! 

THE TEA DRESS:

The iconic tea dress was designed with sophistication in mind. With a touch of vintage flair and a flattering finish to boot, tea dresses are perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your summer wardrobe. 

Whether you’re saving yours for special occasions or love a more chic, everyday look, the tea dress can’t be overlooked as a wardrobe staple. Tea dresses typically have a hem that falls to the knee or just slightly below and have a semi-floaty finish for movement. 

From shapes like the shirt dress or more feminine pieces with sweetheart necklines and floaty capped sleeves, a tea dress can flatter any figure, so find your perfect piece to add to your collection and give yourself that mood-boost that every sunny day needs.  

Don’t wait for the perfect occasion, make sure you’re getting the most out of your favourite tea dresses all season long. 

THE MINI DRESS:

Designed with a playful, versatile vibe, the mini dress is the ultimate summer must-have for fun in the sun. 

Whether you’re wanting to look flirty and feminine or dress to feel chic and cool under the summer sunshine, the mini dress is your go-to! 

If you’re wanting to make a cute boho statement, wear your mini dress with long boots to elongate your legs and add a leather jacket on cooler evenings to amp up the edgy boho vibe. We also think a mini dress looks astonishing when worn with a floppy wide-brimmed hat and a pair of oversized sunglasses for a super dramatic look. 

Lastly, the mini dress allows us to really play with length here, so why not layer over a stunning kimono or longline cardigan over your mini dress to create some intrigue into your outfit? 

Even on the cooler days, don’t wait for the perfect weather to wear your mini dress. With a pair of tights, a plain tee and a chunky knit, you can don your go-to mini dresses season after season!
