Dress season has officially arrived, and here we present an edit of the season’s best.

The dress is the hardest working and yet most easily wearable of all wardrobe heroes. Always feminine, pretty and modern, summer demands a series that give you choices for all eventualities, from the office to drinks and beyond.

For simple yet standout statements, self-portrait’s silhouettes are a cult pick, with decorative sheer trims and intricate cutwork embroidery across mini and midi lengths.

Looking for a relaxed daytime look? Slip into Theory’s graphic floral volume summer silk dress or try Equipment’s contemporary maxi dress that’ll keep you cool with its exaggerated side slits. But when it comes to the ultimate day-to-night dress, Nicholas’ delicate floral number delivers effortless style in an instant.

For show-stopping moments that define statement dressing, it has to be Roksanda. With her unequivocal eye for colour and cut, the navy-crepe Harlin dress - angular with fluted sleeves and are adorned with oversized bows and blush-pink piping - will become your wardrobe icon for years to come.

It’s time to hang up your LBD and explore what colour and shape can do for you this summer.
