Now that the lockdown is relaxing after months of casual stay-at-home attire, the need for easy, stylish, single-item outfits is more essential than ever.

Dresses that show a little skin, like a puff sleeve mini or an open-back halter knit will have you more than ready for all your fun parties, travel, celebrations, and nights out.

Should you want to make a statement, there are a handful of other exciting dress trends to wear. Colourful, printed gowns in standout bright, and eclectic prints. You also need to ready yourself for beach days and wedding season.

Here are four on-trend looks you can easily replicate:

Flowing day dresses

• 

A simple sundress is one of the most versatile pieces of this season. Airy and light, an elegant day dress will be the hero piece in your wardrobe. You can just wear one to the beach as you could to a wedding with the right accessories. If you pick a good one, the very same dress can be worn on weekend park picnics, or even going out for a cocktail.

Heightened hemline

• 

You may want to give your legs a chance to be seen? The best way to do just this is with a heightened hemline. Take your pick between tiered baby dolls, smocked puff sleeve fit and flares, and backless halter necks.

Everyday brightness

• 

Bright colours and eccentric prints are everyday clothing. No matter the silhouette, striking over-the-top prints, and bold saturated colours feel just right for now.

Simple whites

• 

A simple white dress might not seem like much, but the perfect one can be a cure-all for style problems. From mini to midi dresses, white day dresses allow for endless accessorising options. Just swap your footwear, and top it off with a bag of your choice and your white dress will feel like new every time.
