Prove your fashion sense with these dresses

Breezy dresses set the tone in summer. If you opt for a style with a full-length button placket, you'll prove that you have a flair for trends.
The magic is in the detail. It's often the little things that make the difference in outfits. A belt turns a plain-looking blazer into an eye-catcher in an instant. In previous years, frill or wrap details have given summer dresses that little bit extra. This season, vertical button plackets are adorning the front of dresses. Yes, you read that right: Simple buttons create a wow effect as a decorative element.
So it's no surprise that practically every fashion label is focussing on this trendy detail in its current collection. A button placket gives a dress a playful, feminine touch. It's exactly the kind of lightness I want in summer. Another advantage: thanks to the full-length button placket, you decide when and whether to show cleavage or leg. What I particularly like about this type of dress is that it flatters every figure and is versatile. With the right accessories, I sometimes wear it casually and sometimes smartly.
How to wear the it-piece
In the office:
If you have to adhere to a dress code at your employees, I recommend a model with sleeves. This will make you look more dressed up than a dress with narrow straps. On hot days, I would also recommend a style made from an airy fabric such as lyocell, linen or viscose. If, on the other hand, your employer has air conditioning in the office to keep the temperature cool, you can opt for a more robust material such as denim.
In your free time:
If you're out with friends, a light maxi or midi dress combined with flip-flops is the right choice. Karoline proves how this works with her outfit. The Dane breaks up the classic cut of her midi dress with casual footwear. A basket bag adds a touch of summer flair in case your summer holidays have also fallen through...
Of course, you can also wear trainers with a trendy dress. In this case, I recommend the styling trick from Naaomi. The influencer styles a ruffled dress with trainers. This turns the supposedly romantic outfit into a casual look.
With pretty gold jewellery and high heels, your dress becomes a party outfit. To turn night into day, I recommend a comfortable mid-height style with a block heel. Once again, proof that in fashion, the magic really is in the details.
When I’m not exploring the depths of the sea as an open water diver, I enjoy plunging into the world of fashion. On the streets of Paris, Milan and New York is where I keep my eyes peeled for the latest trends. And I’ll show you how to take them from the catwalk to your everyday life.
