Michaela Coel’s Sultry Open-Back Gown at the BAFTA TV Awards Completely Destroyed Us
We’re all rooting for Michaela Coel at the 2021 BAFTA Television Awards. The I May Destroy You actor and creator was nominated for two BAFTAs in the categories of leading actress and best miniseries. Michaela arrived on the red carpet already looking like a winner in a custom black gown by one of London’s most exciting emerging designers, Maximilian. Michaela’s custom black Highway gown by Maximilian was inspired by the designer’s spring/summer 2021 collection. The elegantly sexy, floor-length dress featured contrasting red sleeves and two statement cutout panels on the back. She completed the look with layers of chunky gold necklaces, black nail polish, and slicked-back hair cut into a blunt, medium bob. For accessories, Michaela chose simple, black satin heeled sa...
6 Summer Dress Trends I’m Beyond Excited to Wear This Year
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...

There Are 326 Dresses On & Other Stories, But I’d Recommend These 20
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. Ready to go?

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.

5 Summer Dress Trends We Keep Adding to Our Shopping Baskets
Now that our social calendars have officially reopened, we are using every outing as an opportunity to wear our favourite summer dresses inspired by the best fashion trends of 2021: shirt dresses, gingham checks, wavy prints, sheer fabrics, and calming lilac.

If You’re Looking For a Showstopping 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. I’ve gone through quite literally hundreds of dresses that are...
I’m a Modest Dresser, and This Is the Dress Trend I’ll Be Living In This Summer
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...
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.

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.
