From minis to maxis, frocks are in
There has never been a better time to say “yes to the dress”. With summer (I use that word loosely) looming near, my advice to you is ditch the denims, toss out those trousers and get those pins in shape. This season, the dress has taken centre stage, with long ones, short ones, patterned ones and even micro-mini ones, everywhere from Prada to Primark. It is easy-peasy chic: just slip on and you are good to go.
Super cute: Matalan's tea dress
Firstly, let us talk about the tea dress — for some time a classic, figure-flattering wardrobe staple that rescues us from the dreaded “I’ve-got-nothing-to-wear” situation. Good news, then, that this season the tea dress is floral, fabulous and most definitely bang on trend. Designers such as Roberto Cavalli and Stella McCartney showcased a selection of super-cute ditzy numbers in everything from bold brights to muted tones on the spring catwalks. Hot on the high street, however, is Matalan’s super-cute number. At just £16, it would be a serious crime not to.
You name it — ruffles, tiers, puffs and frills — anything vaguely romantic is adorning our dresses this season. Topping the trend radar, however, is the tiered dress. It is feminine, fashionable and fun and even surprisingly wearable. Just beware of anything too short:I am guessing you do not want to look like you forgot to put your trousers on. Believe it or not, Wallis has an enviable collection of all things romantic — first and foremost, though, is a cute-as-a-button sherbet pink frock for £60. Love it!
