Shopping Fix: The 20 Chicest Day Dresses To Buy Now

This week across the United Kingdom we had our first taste of summer with temperatures reaching a scorching 25 degrees celsius. Bright blue skies and warm sunshine meant we had to quickly ditch the black opaque tights and instead do a spot of fake tanning over night and fish out our summer dresses ready to do a days work, broken up with short burst of sunshine, as we took our lunch breaks in the sun.

For the sun worshippers amongst us switching from a winter wardrobe to a summer one over night is an easy task, but for most baring all at the drop of a hat is a big no no - well, not anymore! Fear not, we have picked our top 20 summer dresses that are totally work appropriate yet incredibly stylish. Crisp cottons, lightweight knits and breathable linens are key fabrics to keep an eye out for. And hem lines that fall to or just past the knee are always the safest options when working in a conservative environment. So, which ones are our faves? A classic cotton shirt dress is a timeless buy and something every woman should have in her wardrobe and this season, even the High Street has invested in super cool knitted dresses that are perfect teamed with a block heel sandal.
