I love the clashing patterns on this Summer Maxi Dress, plus it looks so easy to throw on in the morning. I would pair it with some chunky hoops, simple sandals and a cardi for those chillier evenings.

The time is approaching to whip out the sandals again and what better time than with a new summer dress! I love this shirred style dress, nice and flowy. Paired with a pair of chunky sandals and a cute little shoulder bag, a quick and easy outfit to throw on!

For me, it doesn’t get much more “throw on” than a classic wrap dress. They’re so faltering and comfortable and can be dressed up or down depending on where you’re going. I bought a couple from & Other Stories last year that I’ll be definitely getting back out this summer and I think I’ll be adding this gorgeous addition to my collection too. Throw on a hat, sunglasses and some cute little sandals and you’re on to a winner.

For me throw on summer dresses are usually pretty flowing floral numbers mixed with lots of white! I love that feeling on holiday of being freshly washed and smelling amazing after a day of feeling salty and sandy (which I actually hate) and throwing on a gorgeous dress. I usually shop on ASOS for things like that as they have such a variety from different brands. I usually pair shorter more feminine dresses with oversized denim or leather jackets and I’ll also sometimes throw on and an oversized vintage tee with maxi dresses.

HOW CUTE IS THIS PALE GREEN LINEN DRESS? I love simple styles like this, they really embody “throw on” as it does all the talking and can be styled with quite literally ANYTHING. I’d probably wear a pair of chunky white trainers with this, and a cool pair of sunnies.
*And Other Stories, Nike ZOOM 2K, £89
*And Other Stories, Spaghetti Strap Linen Mini Dress, £65
*ASOS, ASOS DESIGN cat eye sunglasses in milky tort, £10

I’m here for anything you can throw on with ease in Summer and this oversized maxi would be perfect for chucking on for a beach walk, BBQ, or a pub lunch – you name it. I’d style it with a pair of jute sandals and a straw hat. Nice and easy!

For me, a throw on summer dress means something I know will make me feel put together and like ‘me’ with minimal effort. I love the classic shape of this red number- I think it would look great with both a sandal or chunky trainer! Dress down with a denim jacket or make it evening appropriate with some simple jewellery and a red lip!
