When it comes to getting dressed in the heat of summer, it’s all about those easy but stylish solutions, like summer coords, classic linen pants, and of course, the ultimate one-move solution, the perfect summer dress. Whilst you undoubtedly have a few reliables in your summer wardrobe rotation, there is frankly no harm in having a gander at what summer dress trends are on offer to provide an update to your old favourites.

Of course, this will always include summer classics such as the white dress, linen, or a little crochet, but this summer we are also excited for Broderie detailing, drop waists, bubble hems, and the hunt for the perfect do-it-all tank dress. If you’re looking for inspiration these 10 summer dress trends will no doubt provide you with some easy summer dressing solutions. All you need now is your perfect sandals and basket bag and you’re good to go for the rest of the season…
