Vic Binns
The ever elusive ‘perfect’ summer dress. With a flattering silhouette that also embodies everything you love about the summer season – does it even exist? We might question further: does a conscious version exist? We firmly believe it does, and we’ve collated our favourite considered summer dress brands to save you less time searching and more time wearing. With a mix of small independent and high street brands, here are the summer dresses that are worth investing in.
Here is our conscious summer dress round-up:
OMNES
For an affordable and conscious summer dress, an absolute fail-safe for us at SI is OMNES. They have a beautiful selection of dresses, all designed with versatility in mind, meaning they’re easily worn for a multitude of occasions – whether you’re heading to a summer BBQ or you’re out for evening drinks, there is something for everyone.
Oli
For unique and easy-to-style dresses, the independent brand Oli is top of our list. Olivia from Oli creates made-to-order dresses in a classic wrap style shape, a style that will flatter every body shape. Each dress is carefully crafted in East London, Olivia lovingly sources the fabric herself creating gorgeous dresses that are timeless and to be treasured year after year.
