I don't mean to alarm anyone but I think I might have stumbled across the perfect linen minidress—and it's from none other than one of my all-time favourite dress brands.
Cutting above the rest, Reformation's £98 Aubree dress is composed of lightweight linen and cut to a loose A-line shape, making it ideal for styling throughout the heat of summer. Currently, the dress is available in 7 colourways, including classic colour options of black and brilliant red as well as playful patterns of gingham and trending polka dot. Reformation's dresses may be slightly more expensive than our high street finds, but it's the design details and composition that justify the investment. For the Aubree, it's the 100% linen composition that perfectly primes the style for the warmer days and ensures you'll reach for it every time summer rolls around.
In terms of the fit, it's a relaxed silhouette that is easy to throw on on those days when time is of the essence, or you simply want to look chic with minimal effort. Our shopping editor, Florrie, recently tried on the dress and found her regular size was the perfect fit. We're not the only ones besotted with this newly trending dress—influencers have been turning to this playful style throughout the summer months for several years now, for its easy silhouette and endless styling potential.
Featuring a '90s style spaghetti strap that neatly knots at the back of the dress, the dress styles well with strappy sandals for a beachside look and dresses up easily with a taller heel and a leather jacket to take you into the evening.
