I Didn’t Think I Needed Anymore More Summer Dresses – Until I Saw COS Had A Sale

Summer dresses are, obviously, one of life's great joys. Even the staunchest of jeans-wearers seem to adopt new dressing habits when the sunny season rolls around. This is partly why we’re always on the hunt for the best high street dresses (a selfless act, we like to think), though admittedly, our wardrobes benefit most. Fortunately, our latest scroll through high street favourite COS has paid off, and we’ve uncovered some of the brand’s standout dresses.

There's the Gathered Halterneck Maxi Dress – breezy in nature, with tiered detailing and a flattering neckline. Then, there's the Bubble-Hem Midi Dress, which features a billowing silhouette available in black and ivory. Another fan favourite? The now sold-out Pleated Racer Neck Maxi Dress, which, when worn with ballet flats, perfectly captures the effortless look of It-girl Sofia Richie Grainge. Alternatively, snap up the Boat Neck Midi Dress for a similar look.

While the main charm of COS' minimalist dress offering is that you can easily dress each individual frock up or down, the best part is that plenty of their minimalist staples are now in the COS summer sale. From halter neck dresses that'll take you from off-duty errand runs to evening drinks with a change of footwear (might we suggest a pair of toe post heels?) to floral dresses that'll see you from wedding to back garden BBQs, there's plenty to choose from, and we've found the crème de la crème.

So, we’ll leave you with one question – have we convinced you that COS dresses are truly unbeatable? We thought so. Scroll on for our top picks – and snap them up before they disappear. Trust us, your perfect summer showstopper is waiting.
