6 Sweet Dresses You Need for Summer

Nothing complements a summer glow quite like ivory lace. Work in summer colours with a silk scarf and add a basket bag to sweeten the deal.

Move on from last year’s classic blue and white checks with this orange sherbet design. The shirred fabric is stretchy so you don’t have to hold back at the barbecue.

Who says long sleeves aren’t for summer? This breezy cotton number is the perfect beach cover-up, just add a big straw hat for extra sun protection.

We don’t want to live in anything else but linen, and this polka-dot piece meets the criteria. The neutral colourway means it’ll pair nicely with everything else in your wardrobe.

With frilly sleeves and a big bow belt, this striped linen number is a romantic choice for summer. Channel French Riviera style with a straw boater and espadrilles.

Don’t be fooled by this seemingly modest design; its high neckline and long sleeves are balanced by an open back and thigh-skimming skirt split.
