Summer Dresses

Summer dresses are the easiest outfit of the year: one piece, a pair of sandals and you are ready. Our edit focuses on warm-weather dresses for life at home as well as away: floral and printed midis, breezy maxi dresses, linen-look and cotton styles and bright minis.

Wear them for summer weddings, garden parties, barbecues, races, picnics and days out in the city. For holiday-specific pieces, such as beach cover ups and resort evening dresses, see Holiday Outfits and Resort Wear.

Fabric tip: in hot weather, look for loose cuts and lighter, breathable fabrics, and save fitted bodycon styles for the evening.

When choosing a summer dress, think about the occasion. A floral midi is ideal for summer weddings and garden parties, a printed maxi is perfect for barbecues and long lunches, and a bright mini is fun for city days and festivals. Lighter colours keep you cool in the sun, while bolder brights and prints work brilliantly for photos. Add a light jacket or cardigan for evenings.
