All we want to throw on is dresses right now - and Uniqlo has some of the best for keeping it easy and chic.
We don’t want to jinx it, but summer might have officially arrived. If you’ve been dreaming of afternoons spent revelling in beer gardens or have been itching for a cocktail kerbside with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfit to go with it. Something that keeps hold of the comfort we need, while feeling sufficiently versatile and dressy to suit all the different plans currently being added to your iCal.
From parks to the workplace, you don't have to look very far to realise that dresses are by far the collective favourite to celebrate the good climes. The ultimate one-and-you’re-done outfit, all you need is a fresh pair of open toe sandals (and a long-overdue pedicure) to head out into the heat. A carefree summer calls for fuss-free pieces, so it’s little wonder that our preferred destination for such purchases is Uniqlo.
Whether you’re readying your wardrobe for an extra day in the office or you're simply looking for a new day-to-day addition for your summer capsule, we’re loving the seriously effortless dresses that Uniqlo has to offer right now. Think swathes of cotton, wafting linen and breezy oversized fits that expose areas of skin that have been hidden for far too long.
Whilst midi hemlines have a permanent place in our summer repertoire, the T-shirt dress is definitely having a moment with ankle-tickling lengths in supersized proportions for a style that feels easy as can be. We’ve also noted a boom in colour pop minis for a chic '60s-inspired twist on summer staples, the perfect antithesis to the bohemian neutrals and white cottons that dominate in our wish lists at this time of year. And the best news is that in true Uniqlo style, you won't have to surrender your holiday fund to afford them. Responsibly sourced cotton, trending tent silhouettes, minimalist shapes, and surprisingly good linen, Uniqlo has easy summer dressing in the bag - specifically, our online one so scroll on to see our favourites.
