If you're hanging on to get the total overview of the very best summer dresses on the high street this year, we hear you. When the time is ripe, however, you want to know what's out there, and what's drawing the attention of fashion bloggers and fashion press nattering on the web as things happen. If you've been trawling the internet after getting home from some research window shopping, you'll know that wires are crossed, and the jury is out, on any one particular fashion route this season. But don't be dismayed by the lack of definition; there are some great looks out there.
Starting with shape, the world of women's fashion is seeing a revival in swish this summer, with many a sharp pleat to really accentuate the sashay as you walk. Think wedge sandals, beach bag and over-sized sun-glasses, and you're going along the right lines. Vibrant yellows, sky blues and crisp block whites are all contradicting the continued penchant for print in sheer simplicity of taste however the search is on for sculpted, asymmetrical hems to break things up slightly.
The maxi dress has been pitted as this year's summer dress contender, but current numbers are thankfully moving away from the impossibly slinky items designed to be caught in fire doors many maxi dresses we've seen this summer are edging away from the gauzy crepe of last year, to something a little more substantial and supportive. In contrast to the plain summer dress, pattern, especially print, is definitely the scheme to be seen in.
The indomitable feminine charm of a ruched cup dress, especially one in vertical stripe, is a staple that's very in this year, bringing a touch of the seaside to summer in the city. We suggest a simple complement of pumps, a clutch purse and ribbon in the hair, preferably red, to have the look all wrapped up.
For evening wear, there's something of an emulation of the highest-end fashion retailers on the high street at the moment, and it's pulled off, thankfully, to great effect. There are YSL style cocktail dresses to be found without the boutique price tag, with an indulgence in off-the-shoulder or one-shoulder numbers. In wild prints coming from the African influence predicted in spring, expect to find thousands of passable Prada tributes on the racks, in everything from tulip dresses to kaftans and tunics. We're very much enjoying this mature version of the Global Traveller look, as it segues nicely into the realm of the dinner frock with something special to say. Wear with strappy heels and contrasting scarf draped around the forearms.
Remember, there's no holding out forever if you want to look your best while the weather lasts, so do some sleuthing out on the high street this weekend, and hopefully these notes will help you go for the best that's out there to be had.
