Dresses

After the last couple of years, family occasions have held a much greater significance in our diaries and hearts. Easter, in particular, is a time of remembrance, coming together and honouring of loved ones, bound by lots and lots of chocolate. Whether you celebrate Easter or not, it marks the change of seasons and what’s not to love about dressing up for the occasion? It’s also a four day weekend, after all. Whether you’re spending it home or away, in or out, like most things, Easter dressing can be anything you make it. Whimsical ‘cottagecore’ and agricultural merriment are two phrases that come to mind, but there’s also space for oversized, boxier fits, depending on your wants and needs. The midi and maxi dress take prevalence in my picks, as I find they can be either casual or for...

Between the sunny spring skies and the impending bank holiday, I was keen to update my dress roster. So, naturally, I turned to M&S and decided to try on its best-selling dresses of the season. In the interest of being transparent, I’m 5′ 3″ and a size 12 with curves; I ordered each of the dresses in a 12, but I say I could have sized down in all of them. M&S is one of the few high-street stores where 10s are an option for me, so if you, too, are between sizes, I recommend opting for the smaller. Now that we’ve got the facts straight, now, let’s turn our attention to the  dresses that truly impressed me. Some tap into my penchant for neutral tones, while others, well, I was surprised at just how much I loved them. Scroll on to read my ho...

What I love most about TikTok content creators is that they’re more candid in their reviews, whether that’s a review of a recipe they’ve tried or a Zara dress they’ve just bought. So naturally, I was keen to see what they had to say about it.  “I saw it, and I have a wedding coming up in March, and I thought it would be perfect… It’s so good… It’s giving How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but pink,” said one TikToker. “Overall, the dress is absolutely stunning, but if you have a larger chest, I recommend trying it on before you purchase,” said another.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

It’s been spotted on the likes of Lucy Williams, Bettina Looney and Monikh Dale (to name a few) and you can bet it will be making more appearances on the most stylish Instagram feeds this summer. I invested in the yellow version last year and I can personally vouch for the incredible quality. I wore it to every one of the five weddings I attended, as well as on holidays and during summer in the city with chunky sandals and I plan on doing the same this year. Not only does it make me feel great but the compliments it receives proves what an impact a simple style can make. Launched in 2019, it’s clear that Tove has captured the attention of the fashion set already and we are hardly surprised. The brainchild of Topshop alumni Camille Perry and Holly Wright...

We’re likely all asking ourselves the same question at the moment: What can I wear that’s as comfy as loungewear but looks like I’ve put a lot more effort in? And there’s no better or easier shortcut to reaching that goal than a great dress. “But it’s winter!” We hear you. But most of the 23 dresses on our list below are cold-weather appropriate or can be with the simple addition of a roll-neck, a pair of chunky boots and maybe some opaques while there’s still a chill in the air. Come spring, you can toss these layers aside dramatically (or store them away neatly) at the first sight of sunshine. It’s a win-win. Plus, many dresses are inherently comfy, and we’ve made sure the below styles definitely are. So why the heck not chuck o...

The best thing about dresses, though, might just be that you can bag yourself a really great one without having to dig too deep into your purse. Across the high street, second-hand and independent brands, you can find so many beautiful styles for under £100. Which couldn’t be better for this time of year when your wardrobe (and your mindset) may feel like it needs a refresh after a long winter, but you’re still trying to stick to a budget at the beginning of the season.

Unearthing lesser-known dress brands is something we relish in the challenge of. Of course, that doesn’t mean we completely turn our backs on the labels we already love and have served us well in the past—think Rixo, Self-Portrait, Reformation, and Ghost, to name a few. But when it comes to dress shopping, it often pays to think outside the box, broaden your horizons, and find something that you’re less likely to see everyone else wearing—be it at weddings or on the beach. And that’s where this particular edit comes in.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

The overarching theme for the spring/summer 2022 collections is a desire for our clothes to be fun again and the styling is centred around an overwhelming feeling of optimism. Designers largely used colour to convey this mood, whether that was with a rainbow print or sunset hue. The most-used exuberant colour was hot pink, with the likes of Valentino, Giambattista Valli, Proenza Schouler and Prabal Gurung creating magical dresses in punchy pinks. With wedding invites coming in thick and fast this year, Net-a-Porter has seriously invested into occasionwear, buying over 3000 joyful dresses for S/S 22, and has over 10,000 dress options for the season. Scrolling through the new-in section, it seems like a high percentage of these are in bright pink, as many of the most...

The relationship between a fashion person and their dress collection is one that shouldn’t be underestimated. Name an occasion, life event or even just a previous dinner plan and no doubt they’ll be able to tell you what they were wearing—and it’s usually always a dress that’s most memorable. There’s not a date in the diary that a dress can’t be worn, and this is why they deserve recognition. For spring, they’re basically an essential, and there are so many new dress brands we’re excited to wear. When it comes to the best designer dresses, though, we always know where to head to for certain styles.  You can rely on the likes Christopher Esper, Jacquemus and Johanna Ortiz to tick off the cut-out trend, Aje and Faithfull The Brand to cover puff sleeves and Vic...
