As a team of editors with wide-ranging tastes and fashion preferences, it's not often that we unanimously adore one particular item of clothing. But last summer, high-street hero COS only went and delivered a dress so chic that we couldn't help but communally fall in love with it. And guess what. It's back.
Coming in a summer-ready light pink and a more trans-seasonal dark forest green (a great alternative to more traditional neutrals such as black and brown, FYI) and boasting a dramatic gathered neckline and voluminous puffed sleeves, this dress packs plenty of drama, yet thanks to its roomy silhouette, you know it'll be super easy to throw on at a moment's notice.
I've even sent the link to quite a few friends who have been looking for a wedding guest dress, and as you can see on the model below, it looks so fab with strappy heels. However, I have no doubt that it would look equally as cool for the weekend with chunky boots or even pretty sandals (similar to how Emma's styled it below), a crossbody bag and maybe even a waist-cinching belt, if you're so inclined. All of this for under £80? Yes, please. Scroll down to shop COS's hero dress, and see similar styles.

The bows on the back of this make it feel particularly special.

This looks just as good with chunky flat sandals as it does with heels for events.
Just add a pair of simple leather sandals.
This shade of blue is gorgeous.
