A Moment For A Classic; Mini Shift Dress Styling

Welcome back to our Weekly Trend Report! It’s our final issue of the summer season, but here’s a little behind-the-scenes secret. I'm writing this in the middle of the August heatwave. So, I couldn’t resist including one last summery outfit idea, just in case the sunshine sticks around. (If it doesn’t, then think of this as inspo for anyone heading off on a late summer holiday!)

This week isn’t so much about a passing trend, but a timeless classic we’ve been loving: the mini shift dress. While the colour is totally up to you, the signature texture and silhouette remain the same. If you’re a grungy girl like me, go for a sleek black. Prefer a more neutral, elegant vibe? Opt for whites and warm browns. And if you love a colour pop, we’re obsessed with a bold red.

Styling is where the fun begins. Got a bag or pair of shoes you’ve been struggling to style? This is their moment to shine. A casual sandal is the go-to, but a light trainer works beautifully too. I’d skip the chunky sports socks for this one, not quite the look. Keep accessories simple and airy to let the dress do the talking.

3 Quick Styling Tips

• Pair with casual sandals or light trainers for an easy, chic vibe.
• Choose a colour to match your mood, black, neutral, or bold red.
• Keep accessories minimal to let the dress take centre stage.

That's a Wrap!
