Dresses

If there’s one thing we Who What Wear editors know about, it’s where to find good dresses. It’s not your typical mastermind subject, but nevertheless, it is something that we seem to be asked about endlessly, and our readers are always requesting more and more stories about dresses. In the summer, a dress is arguably the easiest thing to wear, as it can be light and comfortable yet requires little thought when it comes to styling. This means that there are certain dress trends that peak in popularity every single summer, such as white linen or beach-style dresses and black midis. This year, there are six dress trends, in particular, that are proving popular, and with question marks around international travel, we have stuck to styles that don’t require a far-fl...

The oversize look is slowly but surely becoming one of those era-defining fashion trends that we’re sure to remember for years to come, with all tastes and body shapes discovering the comfy cool-girl appeal of roomier silhouettes, be that in the form of shirts, jeans or dresses. “I feel like Vetements really paved the way for the oversize look,” muses celeb stylist Aimée Croysdill. “It was a real moment that has been picked up as a solid trend, and I hope it never goes away.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Last year’s penchant for a puff sleeve remains, as has the comfy appeal of the smock, however for 2021 these come alongside a selection of chic minis in feel-good pops of pink and red and clean-lined minimalist midis. The brand’s recent collaboration with Rejina Pyo was a sign of good things to come, and we fell hard for the dramatic tulle sleeve black dress and the tangerine orange number, which are both begging to be worn to dinner with strappy heels.  Of course, there’s also plenty of warm weather classics to be found: Think dizty florals, linen fabrics, classic shirt dresses and throw-on-and-go t-shirt styles.

There are certain things that universally signify the beginning of spring—the first bunch of £1 daffodils, a bag of Mini Eggs and it being light at 6pm. Nothing makes me feel like I’ve said ‘so long’ to winter quite like retiring my tights, and wearing a summer dress. March is when many of us will revisit our dresses, and so we are marking this wardrobe switchover at Who What Wear with a series of edits and guides to the dresses that we’ll be wearing for the next six months. Below I’ve listed the 8 dress trends that I think you’ll see throughout all the stages of the relaxing of lockdown restrictions. Long-sleeved, denim and knitted dresses are perfect for the next few months of daily walks, while the bright pink dresses and fun minis I...

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. I’ve gone through quite literally hundreds of dresses that are...

Am I the only one who imagines I’m frolicking through a field of flowers when I put on a loose and flowy dress? No, just me? Anyways, when the cottagecore trend took over last summer, as a modest dresser, I was relieved. While I think second-skin dresses look fantastic on fashion girls everywhere, there’s something about a roomy dress that just gives a very ethereal feeling. The trend, filled with flowy frocks, has since become a fashion staple, especially in the spring and summer, with brands releasing varieties of breezy dresses with all sorts of patterns, colourways, and necklines.  I don’t know about you, but I’ll most certainly be living in these kinds of dresses all summer. Not only are they stylish, but they’re also breathable and comforting f...

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 I had to pick a mastermind topic, it would be dresses. They are the item I enjoy wearing the most, and writing about dresses is luckily part of my day job. With the UK slowly starting to reopen, many of us now have a reason to dress up again, whether it’s a rescheduled wedding or just an outdoor picnic in a park. If you are looking to invest in something special—a dress you know you’ll treasure summer after summer—below, I’m introducing you to the nine dress brands that I feature the most in my stories. These dresses are all over £200 and so require some careful consideration, but whether it’s down to quality or originality of design, I believe all of these dresses are worth spending a little extra on. You’ll find special, more formal dresses that you can wear to your f...
