To fill the aforementioned gap, I’ve decided to treat myself to a couple of dresses—throw-on frocks I can style in a multitude of ways (read: with knitwear) and that will offer me some respite from my overworn jeans. Keen not to spend a fortune, particularly on dresses that feel very “now,” I’ve been keeping an eye out for classic styles in never-date tones that will last beyond 2022. Enter Mango’s latest cult dress.  Whilst indulging in some scrolling, I couldn’t help but notice that both Monikh Dale and Camille Charrière had snapped up the very same Mango dress—a dark-beige midi dress with a subtle halter neckline and a slim-fit cut. With ’90s undertones, it certainly feels current, but not in a flash-in-the-pan sort of way; instead, it feels timeless—like you could pull it on ...

The throw-on-dress has been popular for a few years now, mainly because we all got used to the joys of a comfy outfit. While putting on a cami dress or zipping into a more body-con style has its perks, the T-shirt-dress trend that’s sticking around is as stylish as it is wearable for everyday.  While the idea of a T-shirt dress might sound a little childish (I certainly thought so at first), the new iteration feels unexpectedly refined, perhaps due to the fact that premium brands such as The Row have been embracing similarly oversized silhouettes with lo-fi cotton and jersey fabrics. On the high street, meanwhile, it’s been COS leading the charge with its heavyweight T-shirt dresses that skim the body and offer a distinctively clean-lined...

The best part about Mango’s current dress offering, though, is that most don’t play into the trends of the moment— instead they feel classic in ways and unique in others (and you’d be forgiven for thinking they were designer if you walked past them on the street). Yes, there’s a number of pretty floral dresses you can wear to everything from weddings to the park, but the prints feel more considered than generic. There’s also interesting knitted styles (cotton, don’t worry), out-of-the-ordinary silhouettes like maxis and cut-outs, and a refined colour palette ranging from neutrals to bold hues. All of which are features that make a high street piece feel much more expensive. Mango’s risks pay off, and it’s rather refreshing.   Below you’ll see the twenty-five Mango dress...

Luckily, there are a few options these days that involve more mindful consumption. First, you can choose to rent your wedding guest or big-birthday dress from destinations such as Hurr, Rotaro or By Rotation. Another option is turning to vintage or second-hand resellers such as Vestiaire Collective to give an existing dress a new lease on life. But if you’re thinking you’d still like to invest in a new dress to wear to lots of different occasions, the key is versatility. Find something that you can dress up and down, and you’ll get double the amount of wear out of it in the years that follow. Beautiful dresses shouldn’t just be kept for best, after all.  The ability to wear something for a range of events and across different seasons i...

For many, this is around the time each year when we stow away the winter coats and fleece things and start shopping for new summer dresses. Since we didn’t really have anywhere to wear dresses last for the past couple of summers, many are predicting that revenge dressing and the subsequent return to dressing up will be not just the norm this summer, but more prevalent than ever. This explains why there have been more than a few dresses popping up on my Instagram feed, many of which are pretty risqué.  These controversial dress micro-trends may not be for the faint of heart, but they will get plenty of likes on Instagram (until they can actually be worn for a fun night out). Disclaimer: If skin-exposing dresses aren’t your thing, these dresses may not be your...

One of the most profound references to square-neck dresses in fashion history was in the Renaissance era, with its emphasis on corseted shapes and lustrous materials. Like most fashion trends it has come full circle, albeit less constricted. The modern 2022 equivalent is all about the plunged square neckline that sits just beneath the collar. You’ll now find the square-neck dress in a host of designs, from from shirring to inflated sleeves reminiscent of 80s style dressing to bias fits, Nowadays, the emphasis is on overexposed, quadrate necklines (with big sleeves to boot, more often than not). As if it wasn’t already popular enough, those with their fingers on the fashion pulse are eager to emulate the lavish shapes seen on screen, as a result of the Bridgeton phenomenon. ...

Since the ’70s, the design has had just a few tweaks—including the addition of a supportive inner bodysuit (a little complicated to get on but super flattering when in place, according to our editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi who loves it) and more advanced fabrics, but the core design has remained the same. Now, you can now find the dress in both midi and mini lengths, and in a variety of colours (a whopping 31 to be precise).  As you know, we don’t like to report on a cult item or trend that is having a flash-in-the-pan, most-wanted moment without taking into account the longevity of the piece. But seeing as this dress has well and truly stood the test of time and is only growing in popularity over a year after we first saw it featured on Carrie, we feel pretty confident by now this is...

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a “dress person”. Sure, I dabble in separates and would love to finally overcome my aversion to a jeans-and-nice-top look, but when I’m feeling most like myself I will probably be found wearing a dress. But not just any old dress, mind. I’m very picky about my choices; whether high-street, secondhand, vintage, made-to-order or off-the-rack designer, a lot of thought goes into each and every purchase. That’s why, should you ever be on the lookout for a top-notch frock, it’s always worth coming back for my monthly column, where I edit the best new-in dresses for your ease. So, I’m fussy about the fit, fabric and quality of dresses. I’m also strict about their rewear potential—an...

Summer event season is here with a bang. We’re certainly making up for lost time this year with weddings, birthday bashes and summer occasions like Ascot back in the calendar. The Great Dress Hunt can require serious planning, but there’s one collection that is really helping in this department. Karen Millen is known for its beautiful floral dresses, and this year, it has really excelled with a special collaboration with botanical artist Rui Jiang. She has created spectacular watercolour images inspired by her love for all the flowers in the British countryside. She really studies the colour and form of flowers in detail. She grows violas and roses in her own garden and meticulously examines each bud before picking up the paintbrush. And these dress designs perfectly complement...
