The cut-out
Why we love it: Contrary to what you might believe, a correctly placed cut-out can look super elegant. In good news, summer’s dresses veer towards a flattering cut-out around the waist and ribs. Choose a fabric with structure and keep the hemline below the knee.
The brands to shop: Aje, Faithfull the Brand, Self-Portrait and Zara.

The Mini
Why we love it: A fresh departure from the midi and midaxi trends that have saturated fashion the last few seasons, there’s something playful about summer’s highered hemlines. The new crop of minis boast square necks and keep it classy with a cap or long sleeve.
The brands to shop: Reformation, Agua by Agua Bendita and Zimmermann.

The puff sleeve
Why we love it: A voluminous dress will always feel statement-making when dressing up. The puff-sleeve trend has abounded the last few seasons and isn’t going anywhere soon – rightfully so, as a puff-sleeve style feels, and looks, perfectly feminine.
The brands to shop: Cecilie Bahnsen, Roksanda, & Other Stories and Zara.
