Floaty dresses that you can throw on and go are so underrated. Let’s be real: summer = heatwaves, and heatwaves = humid conditions where all you want to do is lay on the floor in your birthday suit cooling yourself with several fans. In circumstances where clothing is non-negotiable, though, a floaty summer dress is the solution. Sweat patches? We don’t know them.

There’s nothing worse than wearing tight-fitting clothes or bodycon dresses in hot and sticky weather – but luckily an antidote has been spotted on the SS25 runways. Un-restricting, loose-fitting dresses were a hit on the Emilio Pucci, Miu Miu, Zimmermann and Jacquemus runways, and now, naturally, they’re all over the high-street too.

Brands like Sleeper, COS and Free People have long-excelled in the creation of floaty dresses, and are, unsurprisingly, some of our favourite brands to shop for them this year. Elsewhere though, Zara, ASOS, Pink City Prints and Damson Madder have entered the chat.

The best part about loose fitting dresses? How easy it is to slip into one. You literally throw it over your head and you’re good to go. So, if you’re someone who has a matter of minutes to get ready in the morning, and hates actually having to think about what to put on, you’re likely about to own a whole host of the below floaty dresses…
