We can’t be the only ones who got very giddy at the first sight of sun in spring and started optimistically dressing for warm weather a little too early this year. Well, maybe we were, but after shivering in vests and putting up with spells of rain in sandals, the one piece that has actually seen us through from the start of the year all the way up to a scorching July has been a great summer dress..
Layered up with cardigans, worn on their own with flip flops, even under a chunky knit in autumn, summer dresses are so versatile that they deserve to be considered a wardrobe staple. Floaty chiffon! Puff sleeved cotton! Slinky slips! There’s nothing and no occasion a great dress can’t do, but with so many options on the market it can be difficult knowing where to invest your hard earned cash.
Thankfully for you, the Who What Wear UK editors a lot of their time shopping (all in the name of research I might add), and if anyone knows where to find the perfect piece, it’s us. Summer dresses are our forte, and whether you’re in need of breathable fabrics for the hottest days, high-quality pieces that not only feel good but will last for a lifetime, or style shapes, and silhouettes that make you feel your very best, we’ve got you covered.
1. Réalisation Par

“Réalisation just can’t help it, they’ve got a knack for making viral dresses. After investing in the Gia dress in not one, but two prints after seeing them all over my social feed a couple of years ago, the latest smash hit, the Cora, is racking up numbers for all of the same reasons. Whisper light fabric, perfectly placed seams, dopamine-inducing colours and vibrant prints—whatever your style (or the occasion), there’s a Réalisation dress for you. Whenever I’m in need of an instant outfit that I just know invite compliments, I always start here. And should you be in London, head to the recently opened Mount Street flagship for a luxurious shopping experience that has to be experienced to be believed.” Remy Farrell, Fashion Editor
