Sweet violet

© Monsoon

Cotton is the ultimate comfort material for summer - it's so fresh and easy to look after. You owe it to your summer wardrobe to stock up on slinky dresses for summer days and nights. Go for balloon sleeves, floaty dresses and wraparounds this season.

This peasant-style cotton dress is sweet and girly. Purple and violet are huge this year, and this pale, whimsical violet will make you look as cool as a sea breeze.

We love: Sugary, feminine colours and dresses you can dress up or down for any occasion.
