Shop the best dresses for SS26 from Marks & Spencer, & Other Stories, Nobody’s Child and Rixo …
With March in full swing, we’re going big on the spring-has-sprung sentiment. And what better way to note the turning of the season than with a foray into dresses? (Raise your hand if the last time you wore a nice one was New Year’s: it’s subsequently been a long winter.)
Luckily, SS26 is ushering in a host of dresses that are sure to bring a frisson of excitement to your get-dressed rotation: perfectly-timed if, like us, you’ve been in something of a get-dressed rut. Fresh off the block, there are a host of pastel tones which immediately conjure a sense of frothiness. Spotted so far are icy blues at Marks & Spencer, palest pinks at Simone Rocha and salt whites at Dôen. Equally, the shapes and fabrics we’re seeing are romantic. Think: gauzy materials, demi-puff sleeves and bucolic scoop-necks.
On the flip side, and speaking to our love of separates, London brand Aligne has a dress with an inbuilt waistcoat, while the minimal slip style from ASOS, below, is a nod to fashion’s ongoing preoccupation with 1990s dressing, albeit at an affordable price.
