Once again we see fashionistas teaming their SS/20 dress with trainers for the ultimate trendy look. So whether you’re heading into the city for drinks with friends or are running around town on errands, sneakers are the outfit formula! Keep your footwear simple though – your dress is the star of the show.

And for the gents - simply style your suit or jacket/trouser combo with any trainer to complete the look of SS/20.

Garden Party Style We love this take on summer dressing and high street stores are bang on trend with a huge selection of pretty floral dresses and breezy stripes for everyone to choose from. Look out too for this season’s musthave white dress which is currently dominating the shops.
