Here are the only 5 dresses you need hanging in your wardrobe this season, with options for work, the weekend and weddings...

The shirt dress

Flattering and foolproof, the shirt dress is an unquestionable classic, so we're pleased to see it back on the style agenda for spring/summer 2024.

From tailored options that will work hard at the office to more relaxed styles that are perfect for weekends away, we can promise you'll get a lot of wear out of your trusty shirt dress.

The long sleeve dress

Those of us who prefer to cover our arms will be delighted to hear that long-sleeve dresses are still a huge trend for spring/summer. On cooler spring days, this essential style offers a considered transitional piece that’s enduringly elegant.

Whether you go for a classic print or want to try a brightly coloured iteration, simply add a pair of neutral flats and your outfit will be complete.

The floral dress

The quintessential print that heralds the spring season, florals come in all matter of shapes and sizes, so you’re bound to find your fit.

From meadowy flowers with a whimsical feel to ditsy, dotted patterns in the midst of bloom, simply pair with white trainers to complement the fresh mood of the season.

The denim dress

Denim dresses are your new weekend wardrobe go-to, whether you opt for a holiday-ready mini dress, a smarter belted midi, or a cute smock.

Available in an array of washes, we're particularly keen on classic indigo hues and darker denim dresses for a streamlined profile.

The formal dress

Whether planning for a date night, a catch-up over dinner, or a spring wedding guest dress that will see you through the season. A cool and comfortable formal dress is ideal for dressed-up occasions.

A flowing number with sheer details shows just enough skin for attending nuptials and dancing the night away. Style with statement earrings and strappy heels.
