SWISHIER THAN EVER
Keeping cool in a heatwave can prove a style challenge, particularly if you don’t fancy revealing all in order to achieve it. The easiest answer is a maxi dress. This season designers Oscar de la Renta and Valentino gave them a deliciously floaty feel.
To pull off an airy look, your dress needs to be voluminous — size up if needed although without leaving gaping swathes under your arms or bust. Look for extra long versions like this sky blue number from Essentiel Antwerp which has plenty of swish.
A SILKY ALTERNATIVE
Dreamy dresses not only have a relaxed vibe by day, they look supremely elegant at night too, particularly if you go for a silk which as a natural fibre is the smart choice for sustainable reasons too.
