m+style : the white dress edit

If there’s one piece that heralds the start of Summer, it’s the white dress. Clean, crisp and endlessly versatile, it’s the kind of item that works hard without making a fuss.

It’s polished enough for work, effortless enough for beach days, and just the right amount of refined for lunches, birthdays and everything in between.

This season’s update leans into soft tailoring, subtle detail and easy femininity: think structured shirting for the office, breezy linens for the beach bar, flattering midis for summer events, and shorter styles that work for busy mornings and warm evenings alike.

Consider it the ultimate allrounder: fresh, flattering and ready for wherever the day takes you.

Work, Rest and Play Dresses

Whether you're on the school run, working from home or heading into the office, these dresses strike the perfect balance between comfort and polish. They are easy to wear yet smart enough to feel like you've made an effort.

Little White Dress 

Forget the LBD, what you really need is a ‘LWD.’ A white mini feels fresh, feminine and a little bit fun. These styles pair just as well with trainers and a tote as they do with sandals and a spritz.
