summer blue maxi dress European Slit Dress-Baby The open back design adds a touch of allure SOLERSUN Women's Elegant Navy Blue

Doesnt skimp on the blue cheese

I've been scouring the latest drops from designers to figure out the piece I'll be wearing and have some front-runners, from a sculptural maxi from Christopher Esber to a strapless douppioni dress from Toteme to an open-back design from Proenza Schouler

After plenty of research (read: scanning the runways and scrolling through endless Instagram pages), Ive narrowed it down to six shoe colours that always work with grey

A sharply tailored square neckline frames the upper body with clean precision, while the sculpted bodice gives way to a softly exaggerated, bell-shaped skirt that moves with quiet drama

Machine washable and easy to maintain

For a more casual event, opt for a soft cardigan
