When the sun’s out a summer mini dress is the easiest thing to reach for. Short summer dresses throw on in seconds and take you from beach bars to garden parties without much effort - the kind of thing you live in all season. Look for breezy, lightweight styles, broderie and floaty prints, plus details like shirred bodices, tie straps and tiered hems that keep them feeling fresh. ASOS DESIGN covers the summer staples, Miss Selfridge the pretty prints, and Vero Moda keeps it simple. Add flat sandals and a straw bag for daytime; swap in wedges or heels once the sun goes down. It’s the holiday-suitcase staple you’ll end up packing every time.
