As a shopping editor, hunting for expensive-looking buys is a key part of my daily routine. Often, I find these from hours of scrolling through the new-in sections, sometimes suggestions from fellow editors and friends, and very occasionally, my favourite phenomenon occurs. A series of stylish people are spotted in the same item, and that's exactly how I came to fall for the J.Crew Palermo Crinkle Dress.

With the arrival of summer, our feeds and city streets are awash with pretty dresses. For most of us, the high temperatures call for easy dressing, and a dress rises to the occasion every single time. As someone who is slowly curating their dress collection, a great dress, in my eyes, has a specific set of features. First, a throw-on appeal that requires little to no styling, simply a bag and sandals to feel incredibly put-together. Secondly, a comfortable silhouette that can work for everyday as well as evening plans. And finally, design details that set it apart from the rest. With ease, this dress meets every high standard I've set.

It's easy to see why so many stylish people have been drawn to this dress. It comes in three shades: a classic black, fresh white and playful blue shade. With a ruffled neckline, sweet bow tie and elegant v-neckline on both the front and back, there's an innate sophistication to the design that appeals to daily strolls to the flower market or dinners out with the swap of a sandal for a mule. Delicate sleeves offer a touch of coverage, and there's a relaxed feeling through the crinkled material. As seen from everyone wearing the dress, it's a piece that can easily go from city to seaside. It's both timeless and romantic, sure to feel just as contemporary in many years, and be a heavily relied upon addition to any summer wardrobe.
