Artful Florals

A floral printed dress is a beautiful option if you’re looking for a light, feminine style that makes you feel polished and put together in a matter of moments. Choose a bold floral print in shades of red or blush for a bright and fresh impression suited to outdoor events, garden parties, picnics and everyday wear. Style with woven raffia accessories, white sneakers, strappy sandals or heels to make this piece work for any event. Look for additional feminine accents such as a plunging neckline, full floating shoulders, ruched sleeves, fitted bodices and flaring skirts to amp up the delicate feel of this classic dress. 

 

White and Bright

A white dress is essential for warm weather. The brilliant glow of your fresh white dress will contrast against your skin and leave you feeling your absolute brightest, whether you’re headed to the beach or a high-level formal affair. Look for a max or midi length dress in a figure-skimming fit with cut out or tie up details for a stunning choice that is as contemporary as it is classic. You can dress this with stacks of resin jewellery, soft and shimmery pearls or statement woven accessories for beautiful dressing all summer long. 

 

Pastel Dreams 

Pastel hues are the perfect choice for bright warm weather. Look for a close-fitting midi dress with a sweetheart neckline, spaghetti straps and side ruching for a radiant addition to your dress collection. The fabric your pastel dress is cut from really matters here, the right finish will compliment the bold yet nuanced tone of your piece and let it shine. Choose a sheeny satin or intricate lace for a beautiful finish suited to all events. 

 

Cooling and Coordinated 

If you’re looking to switch things up a little, consider investing in a warm weather proof two piece set. Choose a coordinating set with wide dress pants or a high waisted, sweeping maxi skirt paired with a cropped top enhanced with ruching, off-the-shoulder sleeves, tie up details or effeminate feathers. This matching mainstay looks seamless and coordinated when worn together, but can also revive your other wardrobe basics when styled apart, too. This makes the matching set a smart investment that will hit refresh on all your outfits – formal or informal, day or night.
