One of my favourite things about summer is the return of dresses.
They just make getting ready for absolutely anything so much easier, you know? Throw it on, chuck on some sandals and you’re out the door in no time.
And with this unseasonably hot weather we’ve been having, I’ve been able to slip into my summer staple sooner than ever.
Maxis, midis, minis – you name it, I’ve already bought five.
But there’s one dress style that’s having a big moment right now, and just between us? I’m not mad about it.
Enter: the shift mini dress.
I know, I know! This style isn’t new. In fact, I want to peg the ’60s as the moment this style first swung into fashion (hi, Twiggy!).
But the easy-to-wear cut is everywhere right now, and is set to stand strong all summer long.
My current pick? This $25 line-blend version from Kmart (which I loved so much I got it in two colours):
The great thing about this Kmart dress is, while it’s definitely a mini, it’s not micro (so there’s no concern over any bits being exposed, phew!).
Plus, it has pockets. POCKETS.
Need I say more?
Obviously, I am giving the Kmart linen-blend mini a 10 out of 10. But just in case you want something with a different vibe, here are some more shift mini dresses that’ll see you right through summer.
