Sometimes us girls want to dress up a little bit but not too much because it is quite warm outside. These summer dresses are great to wear with sandals and have an up-do to keep us feeling cool. I chose from a wide range of high street dresses to branded clothing to give you ideas of silhouettes, fabrication and more.

1. Giambattista Valli

This dress is great for dates or if you’re going somewhere formal but you want to keep it light. This look would be great if you had a braided up-do and heels or sandals. You could create a nice bohemian look with this dress. For more information on the dress click here.

2. Topshop

This Topshop dress looks so casual which is great for going out shopping and meeting up with friends or even doing running some errands. The whole outfit would look great with a pair of trainers or flat sandals. The hairstyle could be down with a top knot or even just leave it how it is because the whole look is casual.

3. Lacoste

For those who want a more sporty look then this dress is for you. It almost looks like you part took at the Wimbledon match but in a more fashionable way. The look should be quite minimal, just like the model in the photo. For more information on the dress click here.

4. Urban Outfitters

You can wear this dress to the beach or even on holiday. It’s a must-have in your wardrobe! This would look great with a sun hat and sandals too. For more information on the dress click here.

5. Zimmermann

This dress is also great for formal events as well as dates. It’s both formal and casual so it can be for both events. This would look great if you wore a cloche hat or did some vintage curls, it would also look great if you wore this with wedges or kitten heels. For more information on the dress click here.

6. Pull&Bear

Maxi dresses are in style during summer and they can be great dresses to wear for festivals. I particularly like how this has been styled in the image below, with the neck scarf and trainers. For more information on the dress click here.

7. Urban Outfitters

This is a great casual dress, I love the mix of patterns and the design. Since this is a causal dress the hair should be left as is it or in loose curls. The dress could be paired with trainers or with some chunky sandals. For more information on the dress click here.
