Out of Hundreds of Dresses, These Are the Ones Our Editors Are Actually Buying

"Something I can waft around the house and garden in, feeling like the true bohemian I secretly want to be."

"Many of my favourite white dresses are quite worn out now after decades of use, so this will be a wonderful replacement I know I'll wear on repeat for a long to come."

"I love a kitsch summer piece, and this postcard-printed number ticks that box!"

"I just got this dress in pink, and it's such a beautiful fit that I now have my eyes on it in white too."

"I love everything about this dress—the colours, the print and the shape. Yes yes yes!"

"The shape of this looks so beautiful on."

"This is such an easy but impressive dress I know I'll be able to turn to on days when I need a confidence boost."

"After seeing Remy Farrell (our shopping editor) come into the office in this dress, I had to order it for myself straight away. The colour is just so juicy, and the gathered detailing makes it really flattering as well."

"Another great throw-on dress. (Are you noticing a theme here?) I just love an effortless but impactful style, and this ticks those boxes, especially for heatwaves and holidays."

"Light and airy, statement sleeves and bold and beautiful colour, this romantic midi ticks all of my boxes."

"Holiday-ready linen dresses don't get prettier than this."

"I love this sunny shade of clementine orange, but the asymmetric shoulder-tie detail makes this dress all the more special."

"White dresses are my absolute favourite thing to wear, and this number from Dôen, with its shirring, flounces and broderie embroidery, is too beautiful for words."

"I own a handful of Reformation dresses and find they hug my hourglass figure like no other brand can. With its full skirt and gingham print, this dress is how I like to channel cottagecore."

"Aje's chic, contemporary silhouettes are made for the summer social season, as seen in this cutout khaki-green Frequency dress, shaped to an elegant full-skirted midi length."

"When shopping for my trip to Ibiza this year, I came across this ecru, linen-esque dress on Mango and immediately added it to my basket. It's an ideal dress for going out for dinner on a summer holiday, and the shoulder straps tie into a bow, which is a really lovely detail. I sized up on this style, as I found it ran smaller than my usual size."

"Now that press events and dinners are back on the agenda, I desperately needed a formal dress that could take me from work to events, and this ASOS dress fit the bill. The plissé detailing makes it look far more expensive than its price tag suggests. I'm 5'5 but found this to be a little long to wear with flats, but with a mid-heel, it's the perfect length."

"As I took this to the till, I had two people ask me where in the store I found it! I'm going wine tasting for my best friend's birthday in July, and I'm hoping that the weather will soon warm up so I can wear this summery green dress. Not only is the neckline really flattering, but the tie straps can be adjusted at the back, which I appreciate as someone with a smaller bust."

"I love a printed dress. The contrast of the colour-block stripes looks so sleek on this column-shaped Joesph dress."

"The big sleeves are the star of the show here and elevate this dress's simple silhouette. I love how effortlessly it could work for both the day and evening."

"I don't own a lot of black clothes, but I recently got this black dress from Warehouse simply because of the shirred detailing. I plan to wear this with bright shoes and accessories for summer!"
