Comfort and style are essential for finding that one little dress we will wear over and over again during the hot summer months and this year the sundress is fun, colourful and flattering with the return of the empire waist, 60s inspired cuts, and of course, the maxi. Check out our top picks of summer’s trends in dresses.
Fearless florals rule the racks this summer: short and flirty hemlines challenge you to “go bold or go home”, but be wary of a large floral print on a maxi dress because it can be overwhelming on most frames.
Transport yourself to the tropics with a flash of saturated colour. We love this bright blue dress for its wider bra-friendly straps, and the flattering empire waist and feminine ruffles will suit almost any body type.
Thankfully the maxi has lived to see another season and we love this style for its romantically ethereal look. The maxi promises to suit almost any body type, but shorter girls can elongate their frames with a solid colour dress and heels.
Make sure you have a “little white dress” lined up to replace its ever-popular little black counterpart during the warmer months. Forget everything you ever learned about dark colours being more slimming and flaunt your golden summer tan in red-hot white!
Flatter your figure with the bust-enhancing, tummy disguising empire cut. A cute and colourful design like this dotty number will make you the talk of the town at your next BBQ or pool party!
Summer 2009 brings back the more demure 60s inspired cuts like the boat neckline. Not only will this design give the illusion of a smaller waistline, but it will also keep the girls out of sight so you can dazzle the world with your smile instead!
Both flattering and comfortable, the kimono style dress makes a come-back this year. Pick a neutral like this one and dress it up with a hot pair of gladiator sandals, or have fun with a Japanese inspired print for a bit more of a statement look.
Tunics are always a summer staple, whether you wear them to the beach or on the street. This year’s street vibe pairs the tunic with a long necklace and a cute belt for a cool hippie chic feeling.
