Bright Summer Dresses To Obsess Over Now

Whether you’re looking for the perfect dress to make a statement on holiday, or simply in need of a ‘wear anywhere’ style for navigating city life in the summer, Culture Trip’s roundup of bright summer dresses solves all your style needs.

Off-the-shoulder dress

Combine off-the-shoulder styles with candy-stripe colours for a lively look. We love this frilled-hem version from Mango.

The yellow dress

Escapist florals

Get from the beach to the bar (or bus to your breakfast meeting) in style with chic, simple floral print dresses such as this gorgeous design from Uterqüe.

The ‘blue-sky thinking’ dress

Embrace a medley of blues to get that fresh ocean feel wherever you are. Diane von Furstenberg‘s tiered silk and cotton design is perfectly light and breezy.

Minimal maxi dress

There’s no easier style to wear than the sleeveless maxi dress. Instead of standard black, embrace brighter shades such as this balmy red from H&M. The tie detail ensures a touch of structure that takes the style from sloppy to sculpted.

The statement floral dress

Thanks to the ‘more is more’ phenomenon in fashion, the big trend for dresses this summer is the statement floral. Channel the likes of this design from Raquel Diniz and enjoy admiring looks from the fashion-forward.

The dream dress

Molly Goddard is the fairy godmother of dresses, and it’s hard to resist her bright tulle offerings. We’re obsessed with this design in bubblegum pink; it’s every woman’s romantic dream.

Urban jungle dress

According to Pantone, green is the colour of 2017. Embrace leafy patterns to conjure your own heavenly garden wherever you go.
