I wanted something light and playful for everyday wear – and this striped button-up dress quickly became one of my favourites. It’s sleeveless, easy to wear and has that relaxed A-line shape I always look for in a good day dress. The nautical-inspired stripes give it a fresh, classic look, while the subtle button-up front adds just the right amount of structure. And yes – it has pockets. Deep enough for my phone and keys, which makes it both cute and practical.
The fabric feels lightweight but still holds its shape, and I love that I can wear it with trainers or sandals, depending on my mood. I’ve even layered it with a plain tee underneath or a denim jacket over the top when it gets cooler. It’s the kind of casual summer dress that fits easily into my wardrobe – and makes styling feel effortless every single time.
