If the recent weather—and our website traffic numbers—are anything to go by, dress season is officially upon us. In fact, last week on Who What Wear UK, dress stories outperformed just about all other summer content (so sorry, sandals and swimwear). With summer dresses in such high demand, I thought I’d turn to a few experts to find out exactly which trends they foresee gaining popularity for the season ahead.
From Orlagh McCloskey and Henrietta Rix of Rixo to Han Chong of Self-Portrait, Charlotte de Geyter of Bernadette and Haeni Kim of Kitri, I asked the brains behind some of the most coveted contemporary brands (and one very cool rental platform) about the dress trends they’ll be championing this summer, and unsurprisingly many of the experts replied with very similar responses.
