Perfect In Print
H&M Dress, £37.99
Who says kaftans are just for the beach? This clever little dress will work for any season and any reason. Just add polish with nude accessories and a touch of gold.
The Finishing Touches
Little Black Dress
River Island Dress, £40
We don’t think that there is actually an event that this LBD wouldn’t work for. So easy, so versatile. The scoop back adds interest but all in all it’s clean and sophisticated and accessories can change it up to work for different occasions. For a little touch of Parisian chic team it with ivory accessories.
The Finishing Touches
Midas Touch
John Lewis Dress, £289
A little touch of metallic works for day and for evening when it comes to summer events. The exaggerated frilled hem makes for a timeless ethereal feel which gives off wedding guest and garden party perfection.
The Finishing Touches
Getting Slippy
M&S x Sienna Miller Ombre Slip Dress, £65
The ombre tones in this sweet slip dress are inspired by Artist Rothko and evoke the pink city of Marrakech. So this season the slip dresses of the Nineties have been revisited and they make the perfect low key luxe option for many an occasion. Wear under an oversized blazer for a borrowed from the boys feel.
The Finishing Touches
Spot On
Whistles Spot Print Dress, £199
This dress is giving us Julia Roberts at the Polo in Pretty Woman vibes, proving that a polka dot print is always timeless. We adore that the spots here are a smudgy two-tone of white and green giving us the opportunity to coordinate accessories in several ways. Go classic with white or black but you can also get a little wilder by choosing matchy matchy green.
