Summer is finally here, and just like that, our social calendars are fast filling up with weddings, engagement parties, and birthday brunches. As the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and the nights shorter, we no longer find ourselves dragging our feet to leave the house: in fact, just give us a time and location, and we’ll be out the door within five minutes.
So, throw off the winter coat, remove the layers and layers of clothes, and unroll your scarf from your neck – with the sun out, there’s fun to be had. And we’re not just talking about outdoor activities: we mean we can finally be free with our outfit choices as there’s fewer restrictions.
If you’ve got an upcoming special event, we’ve got a collection of in style summer dresses that are just perfect for the occasion. We’ve even handpicked some casual dresses that you can wear on that first date (for when you want to impress but look like you just threw it on.)
Here’s how to get you looking your hottest in our summer dresses.
Beach wedding
Seaside, sun and sand - this is no ordinary wedding. This type of occasion demands the perfect combo of easy-going yet extra. Confused? Don’t worry: we’ve got you sorted with the perfect beach wedding outfit.
Our Marisa Dress in Navy pulls all the right stops while adhering to the dress code. With its thigh-high slit, deep v-neckline and low back, this figure-hugging floral number is a great alternative to traditional formal gowns. Its sexy lace back ensures your go-to signature pose is with your rear towards the camera while coyly looking over your shoulder.
Pair with: Nude wedges and Daniella Mini Floral Hoop Earrings.
Rooftop engagement party
A notch down from the formality of a beach wedding, if you’re invited to a rooftop engagement party, steer clear of white. But that’s where the restrictions end. This occasion only happens once, so you want to look your finest. We’re thinking something flirty, tasteful and classy. If you’re vibing that too, then you’ll love our Esmerelda Dress in Lilac.
This youthful colour is perfectly teamed with a gathered skirt ruffle and a keyhole halter neckline for a classic feminine look. Your legs will be on display so be sure to lather on the faux tan.
Pair with: Perspex chunky mules and Ester Floral Hoop Earrings.
Birthday brunch
Did someone say bottomless brunch? We can’t say no to bubbly and celebrations. And if you can’t either, then you need an equally hot outfit to be seen in. For this type of occasion, the rules are there are no rules – so feel free to wear any length dress and in any colour you like.
We can’t resist polka dots and midriff cut outs, which is why our Cayla Dress is the perfect summer outfit. With statement sleeves and a waterfall ruffle trickling down the skirt, this sweet little dress is the embodiment of summer.
Pair with: White sneakers to dress down the look, and Paula Faux Pearl headband.
Impromptu escapes
Ready for a day of sightseeing down the coast, a weekend winery tour, or just want to explore the trinkets at the local market? Just because you’re dropping everything to relax doesn’t mean you have to necessarily drop your style. After all, where you’re going, there’ll be plenty of Instagrammable pics to take. So, look drop dead gorgeous in our pretty-as-punch Rochelle Dress. We’re getting serious Tuscan countryside vibes with this asymmetrical, double layered midi dress. That one-shoulder gives just the right amount of sass, too.
Pair with: Low wedges to keep you comfortable and Ellery Double Hoop Earrings.
