I've Been Looking for an Elegant Throw-On Summer Dress—This High-Street Style Is It
Dress season is here! And after hours of scrolling for easy but elegant styles, I've found the perfect throw-on midi from Free People. Scroll down to see and shop the dress.


With summer fast approaching and temperatures finally rising here in the UK, I've started to think about finding those easy yet elegant pieces I can add to my summer capsule wardrobe. More specifically, I'm interested in throw-on dresses that make choosing a polished outfit easy, whether I'm going to the office or out for dinner with friends. After hours of scrolling through my favourite retailers, I think I've found the perfect midi dress from Free People to wear from now into early autumn.
Free People's Free-Est Pepita Midi (£88) is designed with a slim, torso-skimming bodice and a slightly dropped A-line skirt to create a flattering silhouette you can easily take from day to night. The high neckline and slightly dropped armholes add a modern touch, but the midi length and pleated skirt keep it classic enough to last in your wardrobe for many years to come. I'd style it with suede sandals and a lightweight cardigan in the day, and kitten heels and a boxy blazer for evenings out. And with five colours to choose from, there's something to suit every taste.
The dress's bodice is made from 94% cotton and 6% spandex for extra stretch, whilst the skirt is composed of 100% cotton, so it's lightweight, breathable and ideal for the warm weather we'll (hopefully) continue to experience until autumn. Plus, the natural fibres make for a more durable item that will have a much longer lifespan than synthetic materials. At £88, it's not the cheapest dress on the market, but I think its timeless appeal and almost 100%-cotton composition make it well worth the price.
Scroll to shop Free People's Pepita Midi, and then browse some other easy, throw-on dresses I have my eye on for summer.
