We’ve Found The Best Wear-Forever Summer Dresses On The High Street

Despite all the weather-related moaning that happens in this country, we sometimes do get treated to some hot temperatures in the summer which advocates for the best dresses to add to your wardrobe. The problem seems to be that, with all the talk of rain and cloud, we never seem to be prepared for unexpected (yet always appreciated) sunny summer days.

But we won't be faced with this issue come this summer. No, the next time a mini heatwave rolls into town, we'll be prepared with a wardrobe of the best summer dresses we can throw on, perfect for staying cool. The question is, where we will be getting these dresses from? Free People.

The bohemian label has long been a favourite for easy-breezy dresses that require little effort but deliver big impact, whether that's via their statement prints, billowy silhouettes or ruffled trims (we think they have some of the best maxi dresses out there, by the way). Selena Gomez is a big fan of its puff-sleeved maxi styles, while Emily Ratajkowski favours their beach hats (which, we can confirm, are brilliant).

As well as dresses from its own collection, which are all designed in-house at its Philadelphia HQ, Free People hosts excellent dress brands such as Magnolia Pearl, Spell and Endless Summer, the latter of which has the prettiest (and by the looks of things comfiest) white summer dress we've seen in a long time.

The best thing about these dresses is that their timeless prints and shapes (they even have summer dresses with sleeves) meaning that they're firmly in the 'buy now, wear forever' camp of summer dress shopping. The only question is - which one will be your companion for the next heatwave? And will we find the perfect summer cocktail dresses on their website, too?
