5 summer occasion dresses

Spring is here, summer is just around the corner and that means weddings, garden parties, BBQs and picnics will be filling up your calendar before long. We do love a good summer occasion… not just for the finger food and fruity cocktails, but because it’s a great excuse to treat yourself to a new frock. 
 
And to make things even easier, we’ve picked our five faves for any summer soiree – take a look at our list!

 
The Garden Party Dress 
 
Imagine floating about in the hazy sunshine, cocktail in hand, rocking this gorgeously boho maxi dress. Perfection, non? We love the loose, casual shape and cute ditzy floral print – pair with flat leather sandals and statement earrings to complete the look.

The Summer Picnic Dress

This crisp linen shirt dress was made for picnics on the grass – think Pimm’s, strawberries and cream, a gingham blanket and Wimbledon playing in the background. Just add stacked wooden wedges and a cross-body bag!

The Festival Dress

If you’re heading to a festival this summer, you NEED this grungy t-shirt dress in your life. The laidback style and dark shade is perfect for getting sweaty in the mosh pit, lounging on the grass and creeping back to your tent in the early hours.

The Wedding Guest Dress 

Got a long list of weddings to attend this summer? You’ll need at least one new dress, and we think we’ve found The One. In gorgeously sunny yellow with a delicate floral print, capped sleeves and pleated skirt, this pretty piece is crying out for a subtle fascinator and a pair of strappy sandals.

The BBQ Dress 
 
Who says you can’t dress up for a BBQ? Certainly not us. Ok, so we won’t be donning our finest silk maxi, but this stripy number is definitely on the list. The classic straight shape and Breton-style stripes give it a French Riveira feel – just pair with Converse sneakers and red lipstick.
