Effortlessly Chic… The Black Summer Dress

12 June 2025

Who doesn’t love a black dress? Stylish, simple and fantastic for all sorts of occasions, they’re the ultimate wardrobe staple. We might think of bright colours and bold patterns for our summer wardrobe, but we’re here to show off how a black dress can be the perfect summer outfit.

Genevieve dress

Rails has designed their Genevieve dress for effortless wear with a maxi length and flattering A-line shape. It’s sleeveless, with a v-neck and a cute cutout on the back to add extra interest. An elasticated waistband means it's super easy to slip on and wear all day.

Franca dress

Effortlessly elegant, Rails’ Franca dress really elevates casual, laid-back style. Designed with an ultra-soft jersey cotton bodice and a lightweight poplin skirt, it offers all day comfort. Twisted jersey straps and a dropped waist with gathered details give this dress its flattering form, while pockets provide convenience.

Selani dress

Beach lovers will want to get their hands on the Selani. This black summer dress is made of 100% cotton with a pattern of ecru shells throughout. An asymmetrical neckline looks truly fabulous, and a side slit allows for ease of movement. There are also concealed pockets on the seams and a shirred waistband for comfort. Get out your sunglasses and get down to the beach!

Fronia dress

The Fronia is a piece that keeps on giving. At first glance, it may seem like just another black dress, but look again and you’ll be delighted by the elegant stitching detail and floral application that sets it apart. A fitted bodice develops into an a-line, midi-length skirt, creating a really wonderful shape.

Party strap dress

Elastic smocking, a tiered maxi-length skirt and a ruffled skirt: the Party strap dress by byTimo is giving all of the season’s summery vibes. Just picture yourself soaking up the sun at a garden party, Champagne in hand, enjoying time with friends and family. What could be better?

Tie front dress

Emin & Paul have crafted this super cute Tie front dress from 100% cotton. Cut and sewn gatherings under the bust create a fluted drape. Make this dress your own with the tie at the front (as the name suggests!) or at the back. Will you go for a statement bow, an intricately wrapped pattern, or a simple tie? The choice is yours!
