These 3 Best-Selling Other Stories Dresses Are Easy, Ageless and Anti-Trend

As a fashion editor who is faced with the the fast-moving nature and environmental effects of the fashion industry daily, I try to be as responsible as possible when I'm shopping for myself. That means avoiding fast fashion where I can and being extremely selective about the pieces I do end up buying from the high street. In an ideal world, of course we'd all be shopping the quality and craftsmanship of luxury designers, but in reality, most of us have to be wise with our budgets at the moment, too.

So when I am shopping for more affordable buys I tend to stick to a few stores I know I can rely on for quality and classic design, like COS, Massimo Dutti and Arket. I also try to overlook the trend-led pieces being sold to me in the new-in sections—instead spending time scrolling through everything to pinpoint the most timeless buys that I know I won't get bored of after just a few weeks. 

Other Stories is another brand I've turned to over the years for premium high street buys, but it's often the case that, whilst beautiful, its signature printed dresses and bright tailoring can feel just a little too "of the moment" for me. However, this summer I've spotted not one, not two, but three Other Stories dresses that have really captured my attention for being incredibly chic, anti-trend and, most importantly, easy to wear. 

I'm talking about the brand's Pleated Midi Kaftan Dress, Mid-Length Polo Dress and Tank Top Midi Dress—all of which are (unsurprisingly) best sellers for the brand and have, at one point or another over the past few months, been completely sold out thanks to their popularity. The good news is that they've all been restocked (for now, at least), so I wanted to share them with you before they fly out again. 

Personally, I love that all three dresses feel really versatile and are easy to dress up or down with the simple switch of sandals to heels. I'm always on the lookout for dresses that can multitask for holidays, office days, events and more relaxed weekend wear to ensure maximum wearability, and these dresses all tick those boxes.

Their minimalist and monochromatic designs also make it really hard to pinpoint them to a specific time in fashion, meaning I'd be very happy pulling these out of my closet year after year. And lastly, I love that they're all totally ageless and would look great on anyone, from a 20 year-old to a 70 year-old (meaning there hopefully will never come a time I don't feel confident wearing them!). I do just wish Other Stories would extend its size range above a large to be more inclusive, however. 

Keep scrolling to see and shop these three classic Other Stories dresses before they inevitably sell out again. I'm certain any one of them would be hard to regret buying.
