Isabel Spearman’s Belgravia summer dress edit

I love the tiered skirt on this Louise Kennedy style which gives the dress great movement. The warm peach tones are so pretty and flattering and will suit most skin tones. Pair it with a pair of box fresh trainers or add gold accessories for a smarter event.

ME+EM have casual wear all sewn up and this cotton maxi dress is exactly why the brand exceeds in this category. An easy to wear, throw on and run out of the door style in a lovely poppy red. Wear it to the beach, on a hot day in the city or for a country walk in the sunshine, it will come in super handy for whatever summer throws at you.

I always rely on Beulah to pull it out of the bag with the best white dress of the summer, and this Calla style doesn’t disappoint. I love the beautiful embroidery detail on the sleeves and collar with the white cotton broderie anglaise base. It is one of those dresses that can be worn casually with a pair of chic sandals but then add a pair of heels and you are party ready.

A gingham check dress is a weakness of mine in the summer and I find it hard not to invest in a new one each year to add to my collection. This one from Egg is in the prettiest of pastel pink linen which will be a classic piece to love and wear all through the warm months.

This pared back beige dress from Lein Wande in Pantechnicon is the one you want to have to had in hot weather. It is super chic and a palette cleanser to any colour and print you have in your wardrobe. Add a pair of chunky black sandals to complete the look.

Stewart Parvin’s dresses are ones that you keep, wear over and over and then hand down to the next generation. This beautiful primrose yellow and white silk style has 1950’s chic written all over it and will take you from garden party to wedding in a flash.

I have been ogling this Rasario pink taffeta gown that is available to rent from My Wardrobe HQ for a few weeks now. It is just stunning and exactly the kind of dress to wear when you want to make an entrance. Join the rental revolution and hire it for your next big occasion.

Summer wouldn’t be the same without a fresh linen striped dress and NRBY are brilliant at creating those hot weather staples that easily get you from pavement to beach. I love the stripes running vertically and then switching to horizontally around the hem, it is a clever and original detail and this is what this brand does so well. Classics with a gentle twist.

If you are a fan of Liberty print then this is the brand for you. Each dress is handmade in London and made in small batches to minimise waste. The founders Tania and Clara want you to wear their styles everyday and not save them for best and they are some of the prettiest but also most practical styles out there. Slow fashion at its very best.
