Ashford | Zoe Nautical Striped Cotton Dress with Ruffle Sleeves – Lightweight Summer Wear

Some summer dresses just make life feel lighter – and this striped cotton dress did from the moment I put it on. It’s the kind of lightweight dress that feels easy from morning to evening. The breathable cotton keeps me cool even on the hottest days, and the midi length is just right for everything from workdays to weekend plans. The nautical stripes add a fresh, modern touch – relaxed but still stylish – and those soft ruffle sleeves give it just the right amount of detail.

It’s one of my favourite UK summer dresses right now because I can wear it anywhere: out for lunch, at the market, on holiday or just walking through town. It’s comfortable, flattering and fits exactly how a casual midi dress should. I usually pair it with flats or sandals and keep my accessories simple. This is what a proper day dress should feel like – easy, confident, and effortlessly put together.
