Summer LBDs are a thing: here are the dresses that prove it

Just because the temperatures are on the rise, it doesn’t mean you have to ditch all your black pieces from your wardrobe. Even on the hottest day of the year you can wear the inky, darker-that-night hue.
Essentially it is all about the right fabric choice, and silhouette, nothing too clingy, or tight, and lace, cotton, linen, silk, or broderie anglaise will ensure you don’t get too toasty and are warm weather-ready.
This season there’s a myriad of voluminous, tent-style dresses across the high-street, that are the perfect option for summer. Especially if you don’t want to get decked out in a statement printed midi or bright, bold coloured dresses, plus their shape keeps it breezy and maximizes airflow. Ideal.
Plus a noir hued dress is a neutral so can be paired with any shade of accessory, looks instantly polished and expensive, no matter your budget, and just so happens to be all over the high street. Scroll to see some more of my favourites.
