The Summer Dress
29th June 2016
Don’t get caught out! Summer has been slow to start this year but we’ve had a few scorching days inter-dispersed among the grey and cloudy climate. Luckily, rumour has it that we have plenty more on the way.
Our blog this week is from Bonmarché with a wonderful selection of their newest summer dresses to keep you looking stylish through those long-promised, sunny days and balmy evenings.
The Hanky-hem
The hanky-hem on this striking David Emanuel dress is ahead of the curve. Graphic florals and cool colour-blocking in vibrant tones of teal and purple maintain the modern edge, while the nipped-in waist makes it flattering and easy to wear. This is a breath of fresh-air and the perfect choice for those feeling bold with an event to go to!
White Cotton
A beautiful take on the summer staple. This white cotton dress is just that – an essential for any wardrobe, at any age, once the warmer weather rolls in. It carries so many pretty details – from the buttons to the insert detailing – making it an easy piece to throw on with sandals for a day-look, or acting as the perfect base to carry off strong accessories and bright colours or metallics to transition to evening-wear.
Bandeau & Snake-print
The ultimate in sophisticated beach-wear. This dress is perfect for a trip to the coast! The black, bandeau top keeps the look refined and has detachable straps for added comfort (or tan-line aversion!). What makes this dress stand-out though is the bold, snake-print skirt – so beautiful and bright!
The Hanky-hem: £20
White Cotton: £18
Bandeau & Snake-print: £12
The A-line: £28
Jumpsuit: £18
The A-line
This dress is amazing. It looks clean and sophisticated with a contract fabric at the hem and sleeves to keep it modern. This on trend A-line dress is effortlessly elegant – perfect for your summer occasions.
Jumpsuit
Ok so it’s technically not a dress but this Ikat print jumpsuit is just as easy to wear so it deserved to make the list! A deep purple colour that isn’t overbearing compliments the all-over design and embroidered neckline. An elasticated waist is super-comfortable and makes this easy to style with a waist-cinching belt, while a wide- leg balances out the top and is amazingly flattering. This looks good on all figures from plus-sized to more petite frames.
With so many easy choices that are as comfortable and flattering as they are stylish, there’s no reason not treat yourself this summer! Who said that looking amazing had to be difficult? Shop these looks – and more – at Bonmarché in Garden Square.
