While some closets might favor a more muted palette and others celebrate loud color combinations, there is one hue that always finds a home in both: blue. Navy doubles as a neutral for the strictest sartorial purists, while electric blues and bold cobalt command attention for maximalists. In short, blue is a sartorial equaliser.
Similarly, dresses in their many guises and fabrics are perennial staples and when combined with the color, their trans-seasonal power is undeniable.
Whether they subtly feature the color in a statement print or are doused in it from head to toe, these are the six blue dresses we’re championing this season.
THE RUFFLED FIT-AND-FLARE
/
Crafted from an eco-conscious recycled fabric in a playful, above-the-knee silhouette, our Intricate Floral Print Fit + Flare Dress is the perfect excuse to show off your legs without feeling too exposed thanks to the long sleeves.
Choose a masculine-meets-feminine inflection when you style it with a tailored blazer in a neutral check print and our leather Penny Loafer. Easily adaptable, the neckline can be altered between a v and neat high-neck silhouette, framed by long sleeves that fall to deep fitted cuffs that emphasise their balloon shape.

THE OFFICE TO OFF-DUTY ANSWER

Finding that balance between appearing professional but not overly formal is easier said than done. Rather than fill your wardrobe with pieces that only satisfy one portion of your sartorial needs or don’t actually speak to your personal style, look to pieces that can perform everywhere and anywhere.
In a simple, sleeveless silhouette topped with a neat round neckline, our Seam Detail Dress complements office dress codes but is also a style you’ll gladly turn to at the weekend thanks to its statement combination of cobalt and electric blue. Also ensuring this stands out from the sea of blue midi dresses, the optional belt helps you to distinguish between your professional and pared-back looks, drawing in your waist to create a more defined silhouette or leaving the style to fall loosely over your frame.

THE TRANS-SEASONAL SHIFT
/
It isn’t often that you come across a style that looks perfectly at home in any season like the Ottoman Shift Dress. Its navy hue acts as a soft neutral on which to build your outfit, come rain or shine, emphasised with fresh whites or complemented by pieces in the same deep shade.
When temperatures are warmer, leave the layers at home and style with a pair of canvas trainers or strappy sandals. When they start to drop, this sleeveless dress acts as the perfect accompaniment to crisp white shirts which this season should come with a structural balloon sleeve. Ours are specifically designed and proportioned to complement our shift dresses and knitted vests, reinventing classic staples to give your look a decidedly modern advantage.

THE OCCASION ALL-ROUNDER
/
This is the effortless slip-on-and-go style that makes a statement with little-to-no additions. Blue maxi dresses that can be paired with a cropped jacket see you through everything from wedding season and summer parties to days at the office and weekend lunching.
Home to a bright cobalt backdrop scattered with a colourful print, our Intricate Floral Print Shirred Maxi Dress is universally flattering. Detailed with stretchy shirring over the torso, it easily adapts to different shapes to achieve the perfect fit, from bust to hip. An invisible zip neckline accompanied by a hook-and-eye fastening at the top can be altered to create three different aesthetics: a relaxed v-neckline, a neat, high neck silhouette, and a refined keyhole neckline.

THE AM-PM SOLUTION
/
Whether you’re looking for a solution to a day of back-to-back meetings, the school run, followed by dinner, or a style that can see you through from city sightseeing to dinner when you’re on holiday, blue shirt dresses are it.
The long sleeves of our Floaty Pleat Detail Maxi Shirt Dress + Belt are defined by semi-sheer georgette, subtly and elegantly revealing your arms without leaving you feeling too exposed (the body remains fully lined to avoid any awkward transparency). Accompanied by an optional belt, it’s an easily adaptable style that heroes a navy shade to complement your pick of accessories - style in summer with leather sandals, and then with this season’s hero jacket, the bomber, when autumn brings cooler temperatures. Our navy Summer Tweed Feminine Jacket will add texture to the monochromatic look that finds the balance between smart and casual.

WITH JUST A HINT OF BLUE

Blue is accompanied by olive and black on the scattered print of our Camouflage Floral Print Shirred Mini Dress - the same hues that can also be found in our check tailoring. Using the same colour palette across the collection ensures outfit-building ease and cements this style’s place in your year-round wardrobe.
Long balloon sleeves and a high ruffled neckline contrast with the short hem, finding a happy balance between coverage and exposure. With plenty of wear-now-and-later potential, the black detailing opens up the style to the rest of your wardrobe throughout the year. Style it with black tights and boots in autumn and winter, and when spring arrives, lose the extra layers and opt for lighter tones and creamy hues such as our leather Penny Loafer in ivory.
