Ultimate Spring/Summer 2017 Dresses

SPRING/SUMMER 2017 is the season of the dress. Every occasion, style and silhouette - the catwalks have it covered. But with so much choice, what to spotlight now? Stella McCartney's khaki utility or Bottega Veneta's printed midi city dress will be our workwear go-to, so too an oversized white cotton smock dress that will see you through the weekend (favourites at Ellery and Jacquemus). The colour to be seen in? Pink. There's nothing sugary about it, the only shade it wear now is a shocking fuchsia to make Schiaparelli proud. When it comes to florals, it's all about retro prints - keep them bold, psychedelic even. And yes, it's true, the eighties are back, oversized, OTT everything - languid elasticated jersey at Vuitton or liquid lame at Isabel Marant and Saint Laurent were all standout hits. So whether you play it safe or branch out, this is the season to dress it up. Related reading: Swot up on the spring/summer 2017 colour trends to know now
