Less is always more and we have to agree, particularly when it comes to this ruffled dress by Dorothy Perkins. The deep blue colour means you’ll be professional enough for any serious boardroom meeting, without having to dull yourself down in a two-piece suit.

Flower power is always a good choice when it comes to looking fresh in our heat, and whilst the weather may make you feel otherwise, this dress is perfect for the current season. It’s made from breathable linen, which is known to help regulate your body temperature so you never feel like your dress is suffocating you.

Chase those workday blues away with the help of a happy shade of pink! Embrace one of this season’s most delightful colours in this pleated pink dress.

There is always that day where you’re out of energy, worried about deadlines and you just want sleep. To offer you an extra hour in bed the following morning, we’ve picked this easy-to-wear white knitted dress.

Just pair with your favourite and most comfortable shoes, and you’re good to go.

Given the current hot-and-sunny weather, this sleeveless shift dress will keep you feeling cool without compromising on having a professional outward appearance. The subtle leather detail along the neckline and arms add an extra stylish touch of edge to increase your overall ‘cool’ factor.

A dress that also comes complete with a necklace? Talk about saving even more time when you’re pressed for time! This LBD, which comes with subtle pearl embllishments, is an entire outfit in itself and can be worn with tights, leggings, boots and even over the top of skinny jeans. A wonderfully versatile piece that we think you should add to your capsule closet pronto.

Cut from breezy lightweight satin with an eye-catching blue-and-white print, this shift dress oozes effortless elegance and understated sophistication. Try wearing it with your hair up and some statement hoop earrings. White shoes may be a little bit much, so we say navy pumps are the way forward.

For a busy day at the office, we suggest this adorable dress, because it promises to deliver big on function and comfort. The colour-blocking of moss green and slate grey means it is in keeping with your office workwear, but can also transcend to your weekend style too with a denim jacket over.
