Looking put-together during the summer months is one of the trickiest styling obstacles. However, the one thing that is always cool (in the literal and aesthetic sense) is a linen dress—and I've found 29 that will tick every summer-dress box.
Unsure on how to style a classic summer dress? My personal preference is to take tips from the likes of super-polished Eni, who always hits the right note with her styling. Don't go for any overly fussy accessories, and choose barely-there sandals, with a simple basket bag. While there are obviously some covetable expensive options, I've also been sure to include some of my favourites from the high street to make sure you get more bang for your buck.
Always try to shop for pieces that you love and know you'll wear this summer and every summer after it, like Monikh's timeless linen maxi. That way, the only difficult decision you'll have to make is narrowing down which of our lovely edit to add to your basket first. Scroll on to shop the edit just in time for summer and (finally) some hot weather.
