For those in favour of dresses with a touch of whimsy, Albaray should already be on your radar. The British-born brand has carved out a name for itself with considered staples that feel trend-aware but never try-hard, and its dress selection is perhaps the best example of this. Leading the charge? A boho-style maxi that looks as if it’s been plucked straight from a Chloé runway - a piece that’s already won over fashion insiders with a soft spot for timelessness laced with contemporary charm.
Of course, it could only be Albaray’s Tiered Volume Maxi Dress, which has already quietly (but speedily) taken over the brand’s Instagram feed, thanks to its frilled neckline and tiered, bohemian-inspired silhouette - a design we suspect draws influence from Chloé's Chemena Kamali. Crafted from a soft fabric reminiscent of cotton, this maxi dress has become something of a go-to for fashion insiders, who are styling it for everything from city strolls to dinner dates.

This tiered maxi dress is undeniably on trend and guaranteed to become the most reworn piece in your summer wardrobe rotation.
Unless you’ve been deliberately offline, it’s no surprise this dress has quickly become a favourite. This season, free-spirited boho dresses like the Albaray maxi have taken over the style set, perfectly capturing that effortless, wanderlust charm. And it’s not just dresses - bohemian-inspired skirts and blouses, à la Sienna Miller’s signature style, are also dominating wardrobes, proving the timeless appeal of relaxed, tiered silhouettes with delicate details.
Styling the Albaray maxi couldn’t be simpler - just slip it on and let your shoes do the talking. Colour-coordinate your heeled mules or ballet flats with a mini bag for a look that feels effortlessly chic yet thoughtfully put together. From there, play with accessories: opt for delicate bracelets and earrings for a subtle finish, or bold bangles and statement fish necklaces to ramp up the playful charm - though this dress is whimsical enough to stand on its own, no sea-life memorabilia required.
