Dresses

If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple.  I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with ...

It’s been a funny old year for the Great British high street, with various institutions either going under or being bought out by global conglomerates. Warehouse is one such high-street mainstay that was struggling before it was acquired by the Boohoo Group along with a few other big-name brands. We weren’t sure what to expect from this new iteration, but we can safely say that—if Instagram’s best-dressed influencers are anything to go by—it’s been given the fashion stamp of approval. We’ve noticed Warehouse’s dresses, in particular, have been a hit with the influencer crowd this summer, and we can certainly see why. From statement cut-outs and dramatic colour-block prints to bow-tie backs and chic T-shirt dresses, we have been so imp...

From polka dots and smocks to back-baring midis and pops of print, the results of 2021’s affordable dress deep dive are in, and I can confirm that we’re experiencing a stellar year. With temperatures reaching a sweltering 31 degrees this week, it’s fair to say that summer has finally arrived, and in turn, sent us scrambling in our wardrobes trying to dig out our favourite heatwave-proof frocks. Honestly, the British weather can be so hard to keep up with sometimes.   You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Heatwave or no heatwave, white dresses make for the ideal summer attire. On cooler days, experiment by layering short-sleeved styles over less seasonal pieces, such as a Breton or a block-coloured tee, and under trending jackets, such as oversized blazers. However, on the days where the weather plays ball, all you need to round off a chic white-dress look is a pair of chunky sandals, minimal jewellery, and whichever handbag takes your fancy (we recommend one of the basket variety). Whether you opt for mini, midi, or maxi, oversized or fitted, pretty or pared-back, I’ve found 30 of the best white summer dresses for you to choose from.

If there’s one thing you can guarantee from us at Who What Wear is that we know good dresses. We spend hours looking at the new drops every week, not to mention trawling through Instagram for more time than we’d care to admit spying for trending frocks that are about to sell out. Personally, I’m a big fan of midi dresses because as someone who’s 5’3”, it’s the perfect length. But I also genuinely believe they suit every shape and height. Midi dresses are great for summer with sandals as they are for winter with boots—they have real longevity, which I really rate.  The good news is that midi dresses seem to be everywhere this season and in an array of different trends. Whether you’re a floral person or more suited to the minimalism of shi...

It’s our job to pore over the trends so that you don’t have to, separating the sure-to-be-short-lived from the enduring, and that’s exactly what we’re presenting you with here. Cue four key styles of dresses (because who doesn’t love the ease of a dress?) that we tipped as winners in our autumn 2021 trend report and that are looking like they’ll go the distance. As we know all too well, the good weather on our shores can be short-lived, and before we know it, those temperatures will be cooling right down, so we’re thinking about dresses that can take us into the transitional time while still ticking off the trend-conscious box. From fuchsia hues to body-con knits, discover what styles our money is on below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online...

The heatwave is on its way, so naturally, there’s nothing else we Brits are talking about right now (as I write this, they are discussing it at great length on the radio). This can only mean one thing in the wardrobe department: It’s time to dig out our trusty throw-on dresses. I don’t know about you, but when the mercury rises, all I want to wear is something that is loose, light and long. I can’t deal with fitted waistbands or clingy silhouettes. Well, luckily, H&M has dropped a dress that delivers on all these fronts.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

With a discernible ’90s and L.A. aesthetic, there’s something distinctly effortless about Rat & Boa’s dresses, which is ultimately why they hold so much appeal. If you’re the type of dresser who doesn’t want to look like they’ve tried too hard—that they’ve just thrown something on and it happens to look incredible—then Rat & Boa’s dresses are the answer. Yes, some styles are more fanciful than others. Its backless, floor-sweeping creations may feel a little too much for drinks down at the pub but will look the part for all those rescheduled wedding celebrations. However, if you don’t have a formal soirée on the horizon, not to worry. The brand does have many creations that’ll loan themselves just as well for...

Every fashion editor has their own Achilles heel—a particular piece they find it near impossible to resist. And for me, that weakness is dresses. I’ve never really been one for trousers, but over the last few years, my dress collection has defined not only my wardrobe but also my persona. It’s become my signature. But just because I adore them doesn’t mean I shop frivolously for frocks—quite the contrary. In reality, because I hold them in such high esteem, I probably give them more acute consideration than I would any other purchase. And in doing what I do for a living, I also see more dresses than your average person comes close to, so it takes a lot to impress me.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

As a team of editors with a wide-ranging tastes and fashion preferences, it’s not often that we are unanimously united in adoration for one particular item of clothing. But this season, high-street hero COS only went and delivered a dress so chic that we couldn’t help but communally fall in love with it. Coming in a dark forest green hue (a great alternative to more traditional neutrals, such as black and brown FYI), and boasting a dramatic gathered neckline and voluminous puffed sleeves, this dress packs plenty of drama, yet thanks to its roomy silhouette you know it’ll be super easy to throw on at a moment’s notice.

Okay, COS. You need to stop delivering such enviable looks this summer because it is really testing my shopping willpower. I already caved on the versatile T-shirt dress, which I bought in black (it’s a 10 of out 10 from me), but every week sees another perfect minimalist creation drop on-site, particularly within the dress category.  From neutral midis and voluminous smocks to loose T-shirt styles and layerable shirt dresses, there are so many fab options to choose from right now. That being said, I know that many people are struggling with outfit inspiration this summer (learning to dress after a year of isolation is hard—I get it), so I decided to pick my four favourites from COS’s latest drop and style them up...
