Now the warm weather is finally here, it’s time to pack up those Winter boots and heavy knits and look to wearing the fantastic range of Spring/Summer 2022 dresses on offer.
When you’re picking out your ideal summer dress, there are a few things you’ll need to consider. First is material. Natural lightweight fabrics are best for the warmer weather, particularly linen and cotton or lightweight knit, which is perfect for layering. Next up is versatility? Don’t spend ages planning your outfit when there is fun to be had – throw on and go – is our mantra. Another reason why the dress is such a summer wardrobe staple, it is just so easy.
Our fashion editor has picked 5 of the best of the seasons dress trends to take you straight into warmer climates. The ultimate in Summer dressing has come with a ‘Dress Code’ and here they are…
- GETTING SHIRTY
The shirt dress is big news this season. Seen on all the catwalks and a firm favourite for office wear this summer too. It can be teamed with jeans or leggings for a dressed down look with sandals or dressed up with heels for a night out. We love this spread collar, button-through, tie waist cotton Mango dress which would look good on any occasion.
£36, MANGO
- CHECK IT OUT
The checkerboard fashion trend was one of the boldest and brightest to step off the catwalks at London Fashion Week this year. Proving following fashion can be fun this beautiful check dress with a cut-out back by Italian label Lavi Couture is a great find for Summer. Available at The Gate Boutique in Guildford it comes in yellow and pale blue.
£320, LAVI COUTURE
- DOT TO DOT
With a nod to the polka dot trend, this dress is your perfect every day or every party dress. With mini shirred sleeves, blouson style looseness, low-cut plunging neckline and a subtle reveal from a front split around the knee. Extra AF (new at AQ/AQ) are a brand on a mission, to give you the fashion-forward designs you love, whilst giving the world the sustainability it deserves. Who said eco-fashion can’t be stylish? This 100% Ecovero Viscose Dress proves it most definitely does.
£149, AQAQ
- RAINBOW BRITE
Rainbows were all over the runways this Spring/Summer 2022 and colour is definitely a major part of any well-dressed woman’s wardrobe. But when one colour is just not enough embrace the rainbow trend with this gorgeous Laurel floaty maxi dress from Rosella Style which comes in sixes XS to Large.
£145, ROSELLA STYLE
- TRUE BLUE
Denim gets a makeover this Summer – wear all over blue for a wow effect as double denim was seen on both the runways at Balenciaga and Valentino this Spring/Summer. This year’s denim trend favours the 90’s and noughties with baggy oversized looks, long skirts and jagged hemlines. Or go all out in floral or check jeans from Nekane NKN – a new Barcelona based brand that is stocked at Nettie Knows in Weybridge – for a standout look.
£80, NETTIE KNOWS
