The best dresses that refuse to admit summer is over (even if September has begun)

September may have arrived, but summer is still in full swing. That’s why we’re reaching for dresses that defy the calendar - light, airy, in mood-boosting colours and with cuts that refuse to be layered into autumn.

During the day, while the sun still shines, they pair perfectly with sandals. By evening, all they need is a lightweight blazer thrown over the top.

Their greatest strength? Versatility. With trainers they feel effortlessly casual, with heels instantly elegant, and on the beach they look like they belong to holiday mode.

And remember: as long as you’re wearing a dress that makes you feel free, summer stays with you - no matter what the calendar says.
