How to style your summer dress

Transform your summer dress with accessories and simple styling tricks that make a big impact:

• Belt it lightly — Add a woven belt around the waist for a flattering hourglass shape or try a soft sash for a simple and chic look.
• Opt for strappy sandals or espadrilles — Flat strappy sandals are ideal for casual days while heeled espadrilles bring understated elegance with a rustic twist.
• Add a vibrant touch with a mini bag — Pick a compact crossbody, tote or pouch in shades like coral, aqua or yellow to add a burst of colour to any outfit.
• Go for oversized sunnies — Nothing says summer like a pair of oversized sunnies. They’re practical and add a touch of charm to your ensemble.
