This maxi dress brings a serious dose of sunshine, even if you are just heading to a pub garden in Hackney. The vibrant red shade is grounded by cream botanical illustrations running down the center and framing the hem, giving it a structured, almost tapestry-like feel without being heavy. Made from a blend of eco-conscious Lenzing Ecovero and Euroflax linen, the fabric has that lovely, slightly textured weight that drapes beautifully and keeps you cool when the temperature actually decides to climb. The deep V-neckline leads into a neat row of fabric-covered buttons, while the statement balloon sleeves gather at the wrists to add some drama. Wear it loose and breezy with simple flat sandals for a daytime look, or unbutton the lower half to show a bit of leg when transitioning to evening drinks.
