This Is 2021’s Answer to the Throw-On Dress
Twenty-twenty was the year that comfort became our first point of call when outfit-planning, and it was out of this that the throw-on-dress obsession emerged. While the style itself was not a new phenomenon, there was something particularly timely about the ease of styling and low-maintenance appeal that this piece offered the wearer. While summer 2021 is hopefully going to be a little more sociable (crosses all fingers), this craving for practicality hasn’t gone away, and instead, it’s morphed into the humble T-shirt-dress trend.

If You’re Looking For a Show Stopping Summer Party Dress—Here Are 27
It would be an understatement to say that party dresses have been languishing in the back of our wardrobes for a considerable amount of time. Sure, we might have pulled them out for the odd birthday Zoom party or Christmas day when we wanted to be extra fancy but most of the time, even when we’ve been outside, we’ve stuck to jeans, a tee and maybe a blazer. Party dresses on the other hand have continued to be ignored. Well, no longer, we say! It’s time to embrace joyful dressing. Whether or not you have any actual parties coming up, there are plenty of pub-, restaurant-, and picnic-ready frocks that are exactly what you need to lift your mood and break out of any style rut you might be experiencing.

27 White Cotton Dresses For Frolicking on Warm Summer Days
The little black dress might be the sultry sartorial pick of the evening, but nothing beats a breezy white dress in the summer with comfy sandals and a warm, gentle breeze. While we love summer 2021’s best fashion trends, like sheer printed pieces, and head-to-toe pastels, when it comes to summer dresses, we always find a good reason to add a new, classic white dress to our collection When we shop for essential wardrobe items that we are going to be wearing on repeat, like a white summer dress, a great pair of jeans, or practical black boots, quality is extremely important. The great thing about shopping for a summer dress is that polyester is not the only affordable option, and there are as many cute cotton and linen dresses from Rejina Pyo, RIXO, and & Other Stories as there ar...
21 COS Summer Dresses That Minimalists Will Love
Having spent the last month or two keeping track of any and every summer dress that has drops online, I like to think I’ve become a bit of an authority on the subject, and trust me when I say that COS’ 2021 offering is, so far, leading the charge. This is, however, not a collection for the floral fanatics of the world, because in true COS style, it’s all about clean-lines, colour-blocking appeal and a ‘less-is-more’ mantra.

Dua Lipa’s Vivienne Westwood Dress Is a Tribute to London and Being Together Again
Dua Lipa is certainly one of the most stylish stars on the 2021 BRIT Awards red carpet. The Future Nostalgia singer arrived looking like a winner wearing a golden-yellow Vivienne Westwood minidress with head-to-toe accessories by the iconic British punk fashion brand. “I wanted to make it British, quite London, have some fun with it,” Dua told hosts Yasmin Evans and AJ Odudu on the BRIT red carpet live stream. “It’s all about getting people together.” Dua’s outfit featured a golden-yellow Vivienne Westwood bardot minidress with a neon-purple mesh overlay and the brand’s signature three-row pearl bas relief choker necklace (£340), with earrings, bracelets, and rings by the brand, including a Union Jack ring, a pair of deep-plum platform lace-up heel...
20 Black Summer Dresses That Are Anything But Boring
If you’re the kind of person who jumps at the chance to throw on a fuchsia frock or rainbow-hued separates at the merest hint of sun, then it’s best to look away now. This is an ode to the black summer dress and is dedicated to anyone who has found the prevailing summer aesthetic at odds with their personal style. My relationship with summer clothing has been an ever-evolving one, and while I think I have finally found a happy equilibrium between my penchant for tailored simplicity and practical need for warm-weather pieces, I can still find dresses hard to navigate.

The Vintage Dress Brand That Is This Summer’s Must-Have Buy
Once the dread of bridesmaids everywhere, the floral-clad, puff-sleeve silhouette of Laura Ashley‘s dresses has become synonymous with the chintzy romanticism of the ’80s. Set up by husband-and-wife team Bernard and Laura Ashley, the brand started out as a fabric company in 1953 and opened its first store in London in the late 1960s. As the inspiration for countless contemporary dress brands—Batsheva, O Pioneers and The Vampire’s Wife, to name a few—and with a collaboration with high-street brand Urban Outfitters under its belt, Laura Ashley and its iconic frocks remain as strong as ever 70 years later.

The One Detail That Will Make Your Summer Dresses Stand Out
The top 20% of our bodies have been getting a whole lot of airtime over the last 12 months, and thanks to Zoom, it’s become hard to imagine our colleagues as anything other than two-dimensional beings that cease to exist below the shoulders. Really, now that those of us who have been able to work from home are making our first tentative steps out, it’s about time that the back had its moment in the spotlight. Thanks to this season’s open-back-dress offering, I think we’re in for a real treat. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Arket Has Just Dropped Its Best Summer Dress Edit Yet
For some reason, Arket has never been my go-to for summer dresses. This may be partly due to the fact that I don’t really wear many dresses, but it’s also due to the fact that this high-street store is, in my opinion, at its strongest in the winter with its winning selection of cosy layers and stylish outwear. But this season, I might be about to change my tune because Arket has dropped the perfect summer dress edit, which may even appeal to the most frock-phobic among us.

No One Will Guess These Summer Dresses Cost Less Than £100

The Oscars Red Carpet Declared the Crop Top the Quintessential Summer Fashion Item
We can’t be the only ones who have been itching for glamorous award-show fashion moments, and the 2021 Oscars delivered all that and more. Some of the most spectacular dresses from the Oscars red carpet shared a very summer-appropriate design detail — an exposed midriff, otherwise adorned by a showstopping, floor-length gown. Who would have expected that elevated crop tops and exposed midriffs would be the defining look of the 2021 Oscars red carpet? We certainly didn’t, but we love to see it. Crop tops and exposed midriffs are all about a carefree, body-positive summer, which is exactly what we need after such a long year indoors. For some, belly-baring tops are a bit intimidating or they can seem a bit too casual, but the stars of the 2021 Oscars red carpet offered examples f...
